Art Trip to Venice and Lido di Jesolo
An art school trip to Venice offers your students the opportunity to learn about the history of art in the Floating City!
Venice, built on top of a lagoon, is truly unique and so breathtakingly beautiful that it’s no wonder that artists have been drawn here for centuries. In fact, Venice has long been one of the most important centres for art in Europe, making this the perfect choice for a school art trip to Italy.
Like many of our school art groups who visit Venice, you may choose to stay in the nearby seaside resort of Lido di Jesolo, which offers quick access to the city and a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere in which to spend your evenings. And you could also choose to team up with your school's Italian department to make this a cross-curricular school trip.

Laura Martin — Tour Adviser
Don’t hesitate to contact me for any advice or further information on how your school trip can be tailored to your requirements.
The experience has been good. An advisor was available all the time and with any concern I had, I was made to feel important, and they were quick to reassure and provide information. Their travel app and pre-information was good, and the advisors had excellent knowledge of the locations we were going to. But they were also happy to alter the trip to our own needs and specifications.— Carisbrooke College
