No conversation about art and the impact it’s had on modern life is complete without mentioning Italy – and in particular – Florence.
There’s no better way to learn about art history than immersing yourself in a city so beautiful, that the centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
On this done-for-you trip, you’ll get everything you need to live in Florence while learning all about the history of art, including:
Florence is known as Italy’s “Jewel of the Renaissance”. But the truth is, art history in Florence goes back much further to the 5th Century during the Mediaeval Period.
And while most travellers enjoy looking at the beautiful art and architecture, they’re missing out on the intricate stories behind the pieces that tell tales of centuries of human life in Europe and around the world.
But not you. You’ll be taken on an epic expedition through time, using the art and architecture of Florence as your roadmap.
Plus, Florence is paradise for art lovers – being home to monumental galleries and some of the greatest masterpieces ever created.
The culture and heritage of Italy is so entwined in its art, that you can’t learn about art history in Italy without learning about the culture and rich heritage of the country.
This is the souvenir that just gets better. You’ll learn to look at art in a different way – deciphering the stories and techniques behind each brushstroke. You’ll learn how to experience art, instead of just looking at it.
This trip is perfect for you’re looking for a deeper connection on your trip to Italy. There’s so much to be learned about a culture from the art they create.
Besides, learning about art history from the best will pave your way into the art world if that’s a career you’re interested in. Or it will help you appreciate the art around us every day more deeply.
When you book with Global, you book with the best. You get the full experience for a fraction of the hassle. We offer the complete package for learning all about art history in Florence.
Our team will help you with the essentials you need to start your new journey with a bang! Including helping you with visas, enrolling you in classes, and a whole lot more.

With everything else taken care of, you can just unwind and get straight into the experience. Your course is located right in the heart of central Florence and comprises of 3 lessons per week (3 hours each), for a duration of 2-4 weeks.
Each class will be made up of a small number of students to ensure individual attention and an opportunity for everyone to integrate and share this once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience. Classes will be taught in Italian and interpreted in English for the class. When your lesson is finished for the day, you may go out and enjoy the vibrant city, making it your home away from home.

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.
We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
