Europe’s great cities are living museums, their architecture testament to their ancestry and artistry. On this immersive tour, students will visit some of the greatest European cities, travelling from Italy’s Rome, Florence and Venice, to Paris and Barcelona. Along the way they will step foot in some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, the Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Monet’s House and Gardens, Palace of Versailles and La Sagrada Familia revealing their treasures. Yet there will be time for individual reflection and artistic expression too, with art classes and free time to further personal interests. Students will return from this tour with a deeper understanding of Europe’s contribution to the artistic world, as well as a new-found sense of their own artistic leanings.
