Built on over one hundred islands and connected by nearly four hundred bridges. It’s the birthplace of Vivaldi, Casanova and Marco Polo. Showcasing the works of Titian and Tintoretto, Bellini and Botticelli, Venice is one of the greatest art cities in the world.

Visit the centre of Venetian power at the Doge’s Palace and walk across the Bridge of Sighs to the adjoining prison. Study the statues and mosaics of Basilica San Marco and encounter artisans and musicians around every cobbled corner. Discover glass-making in Murano and lace-making in Burano. Ride in a vaporetto along the Grand Canal and marvel at the palaces that line the waterway, or take a bird’s eye view of the city from the dome of the Basilica – a late Renaissance church with the largest interior of any Christian church in the world.

An outstanding opportunity to experience architectural, engineering and artistic genius in a unique cultural location, student groups will find Venice immensely rewarding. STS offer accommodation in a family-run Venetian hotel, with easy access to the Grand Canal. Located in a peaceful area of the city, STS provide a superb setting for groups to relax and consolidate their experiences after each exciting day.
