Oakton Tour Showcases Cultural Italy
Experience art, history, and culture during a two-week tour of Italy offered through Oakton Community College. The last trip in 2008 departs in October. Tours in 2009 are scheduled for April, July, and October.
Begin in the capital of Milan, and view gothic cathedrals throughout the city. After a brief stop in Verona, home of Romeo and Juliet, visit Venice and its attractions, including St. Mark’s Square and Basilica, Piombi Prisons, and the Bridge of Sighs. In Florence, visit the Academia, home of Michelangelo’s David. The tour concludes in Rome, with visits to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, and catacombs along Old Appian Way.
Along the journey, savor Italian culture through cuisine, art, and personal interaction. Lower cost versions of this learning vacation are available for the budget-minded traveler. Alternative trips include more modest accommodations and meal packages.
