Gap Year Programs in Venice,Italy

With waterways for roads, and over 400 bridges linking one corridor to the next, Venice is a place you’ll want to see slowly—with plenty of time to explore each layer and each winding pathway further and further into the city itself. The tourist spots tend to be close to the outside and along the central traffic areas. With a whole gap year in Venice, you can explore all six of the boroughs that make up the city, and also the various sestiere (or areas) within them.

A Guide to Gap Year Programs in Venice

Why Take a Gap Year in Venice?

Naturally, you’ll take a boat (or several!) during your time in Venice. You’ll likely arrive by ferry, and once there, you’ll love getting place to place via water taxis and smaller boats (including the iconic gondola). But, you’ll also walk—a lot. Adventure travel and exploring on foot are popular for those doing gap year programs in Venice, as are museums, gallery displays of glassworks and art, and many celebrations of literature and music.

Make sure to see St. Mark’s Basilica, watch the boats along the Grand Canal, have a leisurely snack on the Piazza San Marco, and shop along the Rialto Bridge. The Biennale and Film Festival are also not to be missed, both of which will let you travel the world through art and film (all while eating a delicious Venetian pastry!).

Gap year programs in Venice are a great place to get started. The adventure starts to unfold as soon as your research commences. And we’re here to help.

Program: IFA Gap Year in Italy: Italian Language & Cultural Immersion

It has been my dream to return to Italy and to reconnect with my culture after being away for 20 years and Italian for a While made it possible. They were amazing at helping me with the entire process from applying for visa to fitting into the Italian culture, I always felt welcomed and supported, especially if I was finding it difficult to integrate into the culture. All in all, I definitely felt Italian for a while.
