Italian Courses in Venice: about Venice

Learn Italian in Venice, the city of light, water and fun

Piazza Signoria, Florence, Tuscany, Italy Venice stretches across numerous small islands in the Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. It is a real urban masterpiece, it has canals instead of streets, boats instead of buses, ornate bridges instead of subways. Its unquestioned reputation of city of art and the charm of its atmosphere has made it one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

It is not only the city of museums, churches and wonderful views, with its lively nightlife and many amusements, it is the ideal place for both studying (there are two universities and the Academy of Art) and taking a holiday.

All throughout the year there are many possibilities to enjoy this amazing city: the Carnival in winter, the Regattas in spring, the Biennale of Art in summer and the Film Festival in autumn are only few examples of what made this city one of the most lively cultural centers in Europe.

Venice is not only St. Mark’s square or Rialto’s bridge, there are wonderful surroundings that are worth seeing: the beach at the Lido, the islands of the lagoon, Padua, Treviso, Verona for an enjoyable day-trip.

At night, enjoy the spritz (traditional aperitif) with some «cichetti» in one of the small Campos with a view over the city and the sea. One of the greatest pleasures in Venice is to go out with friends and pass the evening chatting in a Campo or in the Bàcari, the typical tiny bars or you can either go to a live concert in one of the many cafés.
