School Trips To Italy

The world’s greatest collection of art treasures.

Did you know that Italy has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world?

It’s a living, breathing classroom. Every corner of the country is bursting with stories, flavours, and unforgettable moments. So, for very good reason, it’s one of our most popular destinations.

Where else can your students walk in the footsteps of Roman emperors, stand beneath the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and then grab a slice of pizza straight from the source – all before lunch?

Plus, Italy is brilliant for almost any subject. Of course, it’s a huge attraction for history-focused groups, but there’s something here for everyone: art, geography, religious studies – even food technology!

If you’re looking for an experience that will support learning and create lifelong memories, a school trip to Italy is the one. All you need is a rough idea of what you’re after, we’ll help you plan and book the rest. Speak to our team today to get started.

Why Choose Italy For An Educational Tour?

The ancient history

Few countries can lay claim to having had as much of an impact on modern society, especially in Europe, as Italy. And that is, by and large, thanks to the Roman Empire.

Lasting 500 years in the west (longer in the east), and stretching from Hadrian’s Wall to the deserts of Mesopotamia, the scale of the Empire was truly astounding. The wealth and success, the legacy, and the stories of Ancient Rome are on full display for your students throughout Italy.

The value beyond history

History isn’t the only reason for a school trip to Italy, though.

It’s brilliant for geography students, too. In Naples, you can learn more about Mount Vesuvius and the impact of volcanic activity, both past and present. On the nearby Amalfi Coast, they’ll discover more about the effects of tourism.

Art students can visit the centre of the Renaissance, Florence. They’ll walk the same streets as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, inspired by masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery. Meanwhile, those passionate about STEM will be blown away by the story, and engineering, behind Brunelleschi’s Dome.

Finally, interacting with waiters, shopkeepers, tour guides, and locals is an excellent opportunity for Italian-language learners to practice their skills.

The delicious food (and everything else)

Visiting Italy is a special cultural experience. The delicious food, the heart-warming traditions, the lovely weather, the savouring of simple joys – it all combines to create something beautiful.

Travel is all about learning, experiencing, and developing into more rounded people. Italy offers a wonderful introduction to this mindset. And it might just spark a lifelong passion for seeing the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your school trips to Italy cost?

This depends on where you go and how long for. Plus, there’s the cost of different activities. We’ll keep it budget-friendly by organising a mix of activities tailored to your objectives. This will include both free (e.g. the Trevi Fountain) and paid (e.g. the Colosseum) attractions.

What is the best time of year to visit Italy with a school group?

We recommend avoiding the peak of summer, when Italian cities can be uncomfortably hot, humid, and packed with tourists. The best time to visit with a school group is in the shoulder seasons: April – May or September – October. It’s warm, without being overbearing, it’s more affordable, and the main attractions are far less crowded.

What documents do students need to travel to Italy?

Students only need a valid passport, which must expire more than 3 months after your return date. There are no visa requirements for British citizens travelling to Italy, provided none of your students have visited the Schengen Area for more than 90 days in a 180 day period.

What transport options are available for visiting Italy?

Our groups fly to Italy. It’s served by all major airlines operating out of the UK, so you’ll likely be able to travel from a nearby airport. Once you’re there, we’ll arrange transport for any activities and visits you have planned.
