Friday 3rd - Tuesday 7th October 2025

This four day cultural study tour to Venice will include detailed morning and afternoon tours through some of the rich artistic treasures of this historical city. The carefully compiled itinerary will combine some of the most famous sights in Venice with lesser known tranquil places. Visits likely to be included in the itinerary are to the Basilica di San Marco, the Accademia, Scuolo di San Rocco, Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, San Giorgio Maggiore and Torcello. We'll admire Venetian Renaissance master painters such as Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese and Titian, be awe-inspired by splendid Byzantine mosaics and compare the ornate and colourful facades of Venice's Gothic palaces with the serene classicism of Palladio's Renaissance churches.

Venice is one of the most beautiful and best preserved cities in the world, floating on water and bathed in a shimmering light. The quality of the architecture, the changing colours of the lagoon and its unique position make Venice the most enchanting city in Italy, with a myriad of picturesque canals, large and small squares, many bridges and narrow streets. In addition to its superb museums, the churches and palaces of Venice provide an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate works of art in the context and atmosphere for which they were intended.
