About The City

Located in the heart of Tuscany, Florence stands out as a cultural, historical, and academic center in Italy. It is a city vast in area but effortlessly maintains its small-town charm. In fact, students will find that they are able to walk to any major area in roughly twenty minuets. With the rolling waters of the Arno River bisecting the city, each terracotta rooftop and cobblestone street tells a story by blending the old city's traditional structures with modern shops, designer boutiques, and art galleries. Around every corner of this enchanting city, students will discover Italian culture at its finest.
