Florence is a renaissance gem, home of the Medici Family and holding an important place in art history.
A chic city with a relaxed atmosphere, Florence retains a renaissance feel with many influential artists having spent time there including Botticelli, Michelangelo and Da Vinci. The city is a magnet for Art and Design educational group study trips, with places like the luscious Boboli Gardens – home to Roman antiques – and the Cappella Brancacci, where Renaissance charm reigns supreme, all just moments away from the centre. There are also a wealth of museums, galleries and churches packed full of important artworks to enjoy.
As well as art, university, college and sixth form trips to Florence can benefit many other subjects. Engineering students can enjoy visits to the Ferrari, Ducati and Lamborghini factories of the north, while Hospitality and Catering students can soak in the gastronomic delights of the Balsamic and Parmesan factories located in nearby Modena. Classes such as Business Studies and Fashion & Textiles can also be enhanced by a school or student study tour to this compact and bijoux city.
