Art Gap Year Programs in Rome,Italy

Spend 12 inspiring weeks exploring Barcelona, Rome, and Paris—three of Europe’s most iconic cities. This immersive semester blends cultural discovery, local language learning, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures with a supportive travel community. In Barcelona (Weeks 1–4), learn conversational Spanish and practice over tapas, flamenco nights, and a day trip to Costa Brava. In Rome (Weeks 5–8), pick up Italian phrases while exploring ancient ruins, making pasta and gelato with chefs, and visiting Pompeii. In Paris (Weeks 9–12), build confidence in French while admiring art at the Louvre, tasting pastries, strolling Montmartre, and diving into fashion and design. Throughout your journey, you’ll live in EF student residences, travel with your cohort, and join weekly cultural activities and weekend excursions. With included flights, accommodations, EF’s global support, and optional college credit, European Horizons is more than study abroad—it’s a chance to grow, connect, and experience Europe like never before.
