ACTIVITIES TRIESTE

All in-house students are entitled to subscribe to our weekly activity programme.
Some of the activities are for free and some require a contribution to costs!

 

The weekly programme offers plenty of opportunities to immerse in Italian culture and Italian lifestyle. Guided visiting tours in Trieste, visiting museums, castle tours, movie evenings with Italian films and seminars on Italian culture and Italian customs are an integral part of the cultural programme. As a language course add-on we also offer effective workshops for oral and written communication!

In the area of “Le Venezie” (Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Veneto and Trentino) there are numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, ensuring a rich and varied excursion programme. The classical weekend tour goes to Venice. On a full-day excursion, you will discover the “City of Gondolas” with its art treasures and architectural wonders. Further important cultural sites are Aquileia, the Lombard town Cividale, Udine, Palladian Villas and much more. Wine and “Prosciutto” tastings, bicycle tours, boat tours and nature hikes with the WWF will round off the activity programme, which is offered to supplement the Italian language courses.
