School Trips To Florence

Masterpieces, markets, and medieval charm combined.

Florence is a firm favourite for a school tour, and for good reason – it’s packed with incredible learning opportunities.

From the 14th to 16th centuries, the city rose to prominence under the influence of the powerful Medici family. It soon became a centre of academia and art in Europe, spurred on by the likes of Botticelli, Dante, Donatello, da Vinci, and Michelangelo.

Your students will explore their legacy and Florence’s golden age. And it doesn’t matter whether you want to focus on art, science, maths, or language, we can tailor your trip to fit.

Our travel advisers will plan your school trip to Florence from start to finish. We’ll create an age-appropriate, educational itinerary, bespoke for your group. All you need to do is get in touch, and we’ll take it from there.

Why Choose Florence For An Educational Tour?

Inspire your art students

In Florence, your group will see the enduring works of celebrated Renaissance artists and sculptors. Witnessing countless works by Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and Raphael provides an unforgettable and inspiring experience for young minds.

The city’s Uffizi Gallery is a true highlight. But, there’s also the Gallery of Modern Art, for something different, and Galleria dell’Accademia, which is home to Michelangelo’s statue of David.

Perfect for several subjects

The art of the Renaissance is incredible, but a school trip to Florence doesn’t stop there. It’s an opportunity to discover the far-reaching impact the movement had across other disciplines – architecture, scientific discovery, philosophical thought, and even literature.

Visits to Brunelleschi’s dome, the Galileo Museum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa are ideal for a STEM-focused tour. Meanwhile, language students can practice their skills in the birthplace of the modern Italian language.
