Italy Educational Holidays

The obvious place to begin is Rome, the country's cosmopolitan capital which has museums and monuments at every turn. We'll pair you up with the best family-friendly guides who know all the tricks for keeping your little ones entertained with curated city tours, museum scavenger hunts and fun quizzes. Fill your children's heads with stories of bloody battles and powerful emperors on a private tour of the Colosseum and play a supercharged game of I spy while admiring artworks in the Vatican.

Beyond the bright lights of Rome, head to fresco-filled Florence to learn about art and have a go at creating your own in fabulous family workshops. Venice too can be educational with heaps more museums to explore and a tangle of twisty backstreets to navigate with your little ones attempting to lead the way.

No matter where your educational trip to Italy takes you, food should definitely take centre stage; it's a part of the culture after all! Unlock the secrets of Italian cuisine in a family cooking class with an expert chef, fill up on pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) in between museum visits and schedule in plenty of gelato pit stops for a sugar recharge.
