The Eternal City of Rome
Few civilizations are as spellbinding as the one that grew and expanded from a humble town between seven hills to an empire that stretched from the British Isles to Arabia. Students can experience first hand the historical impact of the Roman empire on so much of our modern world, in law, governance, linguistics, art and commerce. So much of Rome is suffused with the living memory of that imperial grandeur. Whether students are just starting to delve into the study of Rome, or are well versed in its history and language, this city has so much to offer young minds. ​

HERCULANEUM AND POMPEII

FLORENCE

Tour the fascinating ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Vesuvius. Travelers can experience what the life of a Roman city was like in the first century of the Common Era.

The heart and soul of the Renaissance, this city is breathtaking. From simple walks where sculptures line the streets, to the world class Uffizi gallery, to the Accademia, where Michelangelo's David is housed, Florence is an unforgettable visit.
