School Trips to Italy

A Renaissance of Learning for Students: Rome, Naples, Milan



Learn about classical history inside Rome's Colosseum, study art under the shadow of Florence's Duomo, or wrap a cross-curricular cultural experience in an authentic gelato and stone baked pizza in Venice's historic piazzas. School trips to Italy can take many forms and cover plenty of classroom topics.

Italy is a living museum, where every corner tells a story, from ancient Roman forums to Renaissance masterpieces. Its blend of history, art, and fast modern life will captivate you and your students.

The most popular subjects that UK school students study on trips to Italy include Classics and History, Geography, Business Studies and of course food technology. While there are a wealth of regional Italian visit options for single subject and single centre trips, you may wish to tailor a visit more than one area of Italy.

Most schools visit the capital city, Rome, which is like an open air museum, with stunning archaeological remains everywhere you look. The Vatican City is a state within a city and a popular stop during a visit to Rome. Further south, the Bay of Naples is a superb place to study both tourism and geography, with the huge Mt. Vesuvius volcano looming over the surrounding landscape. While in the north of Italy, Florence is another historic city schools can visit, with one of the world's best museums of art and, unquestionably the best place in the world to go if your students are studying the Renaissance period.
