The “Giro d’Italia” programme is a unique opportunity for students to spend their holidays in Italy attending an Italian language course in each of our partner school locations.
In the north, you can stay in Turin and Milan, two lively and surprising cities with many different attractions. Ideal destinations for those seeking a dynamic and energetic holiday: constantly evolving, there is no shortage of events, museums, theatres, shopping and cultural opportunities. Milan, always in step with the times, is the place where art, fashion, design and the Italian lifestyle meet. Turin, Italy’s first capital, elegant and refined, is the perfect combination of modernity and historical testimony. Well-connected by numerous airports, also served by low-cost flights, you can easily get to these two cities in the heart of Europe from anywhere in the world.
In central Italy, you can stop in Florence and Viareggio, two Tuscan towns not far from each other that will welcome you with breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable views. Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance and Italian art, is a city on a human scale, yet cosmopolitan and perfectly walkable. The Viareggio coastline is one of the best known on the Tyrrhenian Riviera. Not only does it offer a seaside, the town is famous for its Art Nouveau buildings and its promenade, the centre of summer nightlife. Florence and Viareggio are an excellent starting point to tour Tuscany (Siena, Pisa, Lucca, the Chianti, Montalcino, Volterra, Cortona, San Gimignano etc.) and Liguria (Cinque Terre, Genoa, Sanremo…).
Further south you can choose Rome, the Eternal City and a must-see destination on any trip to Italy. This city is a veritable open-air museum, home to some of the world’s most impressive monuments, archaeological sites and museums. But the Grande Bellezza, the “Great Beauty”, as it is also known, is, without a shadow of a doubt, also a cosmopolitan and dynamic city: it is a place and an icon of the Italian way of life, that always exalts the human dimension and its creativity.
A trip to Italy also means discovering Italian culture, traditions and people. You will not only learn Italian: you will have many opportunities to get to know everything that has made Italy famous throughout the world. The leisure activities organised by our partner schools will give you the opportunity to take part in guided tours, seminars, tastings, cookery lessons, excursions and much more!
