The Language Academy is pleased to introduce its Out and About in Vicenza trip.
Spend a day speaking Italian abroad for a day or two, as a stand-alone holiday or wrapped up in a longer trip, as you wish!
We organise friendly locals to take you around the town, speaking no English, just your target language. Lunch (not usually drinks) is included.
We have chosen Vicenza in Veneto as we have local partners to assist in the organisation and it’s not considered to be suffering “overtourism”.
You organise your own travel and accommodation and simply meet up at the appointed spot to start your in situ day of language immersion. The day last from 1000-1600 and then you are free to have a lie down (language learning is tough!) before heading out into town to spend the evening with your travelling companion and/or other participants.
Because you need to book your travel, we guarantee that our trips will go ahead, so no need to worry about possible cancellation by us.
You need to be able to have an A2+/B1 or higher level to enjoy this experience.

About:
Vicenza is a charming town situated between Verona and Venice, within the Veneto region, of which Venice is the capital. Vicenza is famous as the birthplace of the legendary architect Andrea Palladio, from which the word Palladian derives. The central square, Piazza dei Signori, is home to the stunning Basilica.
What will you see and do?
You will visit the Basilica and main square as well as strolling down Corso Palladio. the street, with its elegant shops. Vicenza has pretty parks and waterside spots that you will also enjoy.
What about lunch?
This is included in the price and will be a further opportunity to improve your Italian in a restaurant context. The kind of context we all enjoy!
And dinner?
The programme ends at 1600 so you are free to have dinner with your travelling companions and/or with others on the tour.
How do I get there?
Fly to Venice or Verona and get the train. You can also fly to Milan, to which there are generally cheaper flights, but the train journey will take a bit longer (1 hour, 40 minutes on the fabulous Frecciarossa!)
Any ideas on accommodation?
There is a good range of hotels. We always recommend finding one you like the look of on well-known hotel platforms and then emailing the hotel direct to check what price they can give.
What happens after I book?
The programme is guaranteed to go ahead as soon as we receive a booking, so you can rest assured. We will send joining instructions several weeks before the trip. You will be given our 24-hour number in case of any issues on the day
