Even though there are no cars, canals make it easy to navigate the city.

The school was founded by local Venetians who want to develop and share an authentic Venice immersion with the student. Afternoon excursions and walking tours are organized, which allow students to expand their knowledge about Venetian history, art, traditions and daily life.

Possible activities include:

• Art: Tour museums and art exhibitions.
• Local handcraft: Visit the glass and mask workshops and the squeri (where the gondolas are made).
• History: Wander around the historical areas of the city, taking in its history and majesty.
• Delicious dishes: Walk around the Rialto market (one of the greatest markets in the world), visit the local bacari and trattorie, taste local dishes and wine, and possibly even take cooking lessons!
• Athletic activities: Trek the islands of the lagoon, take bike trips on Venice Lido, and have the option to become a member of the Sport University Centre where you can learn voga alla veneta (rowing), play soccer, volleyball, etc.
