Activities in Genoa

We want you to have the possibility to experience the Italian lifestyle for two to four weeks, so we have a wide range of activities and optional extras for you to choose from. Genova is a lively city without many tourists, and this helps to reinforce the idea of the “real Italian experience”: everyone you will meet will speak to you in Italian!

Genoa has a lot to offer in terms of the arts, history, gastronomy and leisure. Due to its location on the Mediterranean, Genoa also provides ample opportunities to access the treasures of the coast. There are many interesting and engaging small towns right outside of Genova along the Riviera like Nervi, Sestri Levante, Camogli, Portofino and the towns of the Cinque Terre that you can explore at your leisure.

Excursions

We offer the following activities:

A tour of the city on an open-top bus and a guided tour of the port. The guides will speak in Italian as all the activities are designed to make your stay as authentic as possible.
A visit to local forts. This trip will take the you outside of the city to the Parco Urbano delle Mura where there are the ruins of medieval forts.
Cooking class. Learn about Ligurian cuisine and how to make pizza by hand!
Italian wine tasting: you can sample a large selection of fine wines in the welcoming surroundings of a local wine bar.
A night at the opera in the Teatro Carlo Felice : you will experience a real Italian opera in one of the most prestigious theatres in Italy.
Welcome and Goodbye Cocktails. At the school, we organise two separate nights for an “aperitivo” giving you the chance to try some of the characteristic dishes of our region. With these events, we make you feel at home in the company of a close knit, friendly group.
Sailing. This is an optional activity for short trips along the coast. Again, this activity highlights the fact that we are not just a language school.
Visit to the Cinque Terre and visit to Florence with a guide. Both of these full day trips are optional and organized during the week end.
