Our Rome school trip highlights include...

As Rome is at the centre of the Roman Catholic Church, it is the ideal trip destination for school students of art and history. We have received excellent feedback from school groups who have experienced our school trips to Rome. Some of the most favoured school trip highlights include:

 

The Colosseum

The Colosseum is one of the most famous landmarks in Rome, and for good reason. This ancient amphitheater was the site of many gladiatorial battles, and students can learn about the history of the Roman Empire as they explore its impressive ruins.

The Vatican

The Vatican is a must-visit destination for students on a Rome school trip interested in art and history. Students can see masterpieces by artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael, and visit the Sistine Chapel, one of the most famous landmarks in the world.

The Pantheon

The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in Rome, with its impressive dome and intricate architecture. Students on an educational trip to Rome can learn about the history of the building and the role it played in ancient Roman culture.

The Roman Forum

The Roman Forum was the center of political and social life in ancient Rome, and is now a fascinating archaeological site. Students can explore the ruins of ancient temples, markets, and government buildings, and learn about the daily life of the ancient Romans.

The Trevi Fountain

The Trevi Fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world, and a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Rome. Legend has it that throwing a coin into the fountain will ensure a return visit to Rome, so students can make a wish and hope for the best!

When embarking on a school trip to Rome, students can take delight in the historical architecture from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. In addition to this, when booking an educational trip to Rome, your pupils will have the chance to experience the grandeur of the Vatican. 

During a Rome school trip you will also be able to visit the Colosseum of Rome, which is one of the seven wonders of the world. At its peak, the Colosseum could seat 50,000 spectators and took 12 years to build. It is estimated that over 500,000 people were killed in the Colosseum during the Roman reign.

Top Tips from Our Travel Experts

Rome is one of the most incredible and inspiring places I’ve been to in Europe. I’ve seen something different each time I go. There is so much History and Culture, a must do for educational trip. My top tips are:

1. Get an early start! Miss the crowds by starting your activities early in the morning.

2. Walk between your visits. There is something fascinating to see on every street, you will miss a huge amount by taking the Metro.

3. Add guides for the Vatican and Colosseum/Roman Forum to make the most of these iconic sites.

4. Packed lunches are available to pre-book - this will help avoid paying high tourist prices on the streets.

5. Summer in Rome is incredibly hot! Be sun safe and make sure you have a hat, sunscreen and water.
