Our Discover Europe adventure is a star-studded tour of Europe's A-list hotspots in France, Italy and Spain open to students who have completed their junior or senior year of high school. At the end of this trip you will have admired Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower, tasted the gelato of your life in Florence, walked in the steps of Caesar in Rome, and opened your mind to the masterpieces of Picasso and Gaudí in Barcelona.  

 

We begin our journey in Barcelona, the super-hip city where they speak Catalan (not Spanish!) and eat paella. This seaside city has something for everyone, from soccer fans to contemporary art lovers to history buffs, and you’ll be intoxicated by its vibrancy as you go from shopping and biking by day to clubbing and enjoying fantastic seafood by night. Then it’s on to Italy, a country brimming with art, cuisine, and its famous hospitality. We’ll eat pasta made by hand and chocolates that have been made by the same family for generations. We’ll tour the masterworks of Renaissance, including paintings by Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci, as well as sculpture by Michelangelo and Donatello.

 

Our next stop is Rome, the Eternal City, home of the most expansive empire in Western history. We’ll walk in the footsteps of Julius Caesar, tour the ruins of the Roman Forum, and marvel at the splendor of the collections at the Vatican Museums.

 

Our final stop is Paris, the legendary city traversed by the Seine. Here you’ll climb the Eiffel Tower, and soak in the joie de vivre of French culture. You can shop along the Champs Elysees, see the world-famous Mona Lisa at the Louvre, and marvel at the enormity of Notre Dame Cathedral. Come experience the best of Europe with us!
