An Italian school trip to Venice and Lido di Jesolo offers your students the opportunity to immerse themselves in Italian culture in a city that is truly unique!
There is nowhere on Earth like Venice and this spectacular city is certainly the perfect choice for an unforgettable taste of Italian culture. A memorable experience on any budget, Venice offers photo opportunities around every twist and turn of the alleyways and canals!
Just 25 minutes away by bus, or 40 minutes by boat, lies the lovely seaside resort of Lido di Jesolo.
