Travel Beyond Florence: Explore Fashion Capitals
Why stop at Florence? Many students use this trip as a jumping-off point to visit other European fashion hotspots. Many students (and their families!) turn this experience into a bigger adventure by exploring more of Europe before or after the program. Florence is a perfect starting point to see fashion capitals like Milan, Paris, and London that are just a short train ride or flight away.
Whether you're continuing the fashion journey or simply soaking up more culture, travel beyond Florence adds even more excitement to your summer. It’s a great way to make the most of your trip!
