A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Italy

Best Cities for Teens

Rome is the country’s capital and largest city, and as such is a popular destination for high school programs in Italy. Rome has steadily been building upon itself for thousands of years and today you will be amazed by the diversity of magnificent architecture on display throughout the city. From the Colosseum to the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, some of Europe’s oldest and most impressive monuments line the grand cobblestone streets of Rome.

Florence is another common place for high school programs in Italy. Famed for its tremendous influence in arts and sciences throughout the Renaissance, today Florence remains one of the premier cultural hubs of Europe. Boasting a wealth of world class museums, high end fashion boutiques, and mouth-watering eateries, high school programs in Florence are highly enriching experiences for students with a particular passion for the arts.

While Rome and Florence are the country’s most popular destinations, options in Italy far exceed these two great cities. Milan, Venice, Bologna, Palermo, Naples, the list of potential locations for high school programs in Italy goes on and on, each more fascinating and unique than the next. Spend time exploring all your options and consider carefully the pros and cons of each place.

Truly a life-changing experience

November 07, 2025by: Scarlett Graham - United StatesProgram: Travel For Teens: Italy Travel Photography Workshop
10

I can honestly say that the Italy photography workshop with TFT was the best trip I have ever taken. Everything was absolutely fantastic! From the straightforward process of meeting the group at the airport to exploring a variety of Italian cities, this program was absolutely unforgettable. I feel like it was a perfect balance of photography lessons and free time! I really appreciated how our group leaders allotted time for us to explore on our own and also participate in group activities. I would recommend TFT 10 times out of 10!
