About this school trip

Florence is the city in which to experience the Renaissance. The dome of the Duomo, built between 1420 and 1436 to a design by Filippo Brunelleschi, is still the largest masonry dome in the world. Anyone who climbs its 463 steps passes between the dome's two shells on the way up and sees how ingeniously it was built.

In the Galleria degli Uffizi your students come face to face with masterpieces such as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and Primavera, in the refurbished Botticelli rooms. The city itself lends itself perfectly to an urban analysis: how do its squares, palaces and churches reflect the power of families such as the Medici? In this way you link art history to urban planning and history, ideal for upper secondary and vocational students.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Florence for you and your students. You travel in a comfortable coach with an experienced driver. Given the distance, the journey is broken up with a planned stopover or spread over the day with plenty of rest breaks.
