Recreational Activities with Parola Italian School

A Remarkable Feature of the Italian School Parola

A remarkable feature of the Italian language school Parola is that our institute constantly organizes outdoor activities after its courses in Florence. Parola school events include pizza eating, bike rides in the park or visits at a leather museum. Our Italian school has a good variety of outdoor and indoor school activities in Florence to choose from.

Free of Charge Recreational Activities in Florence

Dinners and Events in Florence in the Evening

In order to create a friendly atmosphere among the students and all the teachers, school organizes dinners in typical local restaurants, as well as parties and evening meetings. Once a week, one of the school teachers goes with the students for an Aperitif: a typical way of Italians to get to know each other.

Bike Rides and Walks in the Parks of Florence

A school Parola teacher takes students for a bike ride or a leisurely and instructive walk in the two major parks of Florence. The Albereta Park - along the river Arno, South of Florence - and the Cascine Park, the largest and most renowned park in Florence.

Rafting on the Arno River in the Summertime

The Italian school Parola also offers the opportunity to raft the city center part of the Arno river with specialized and expert instructors, who belong to a rafting organization based in Florence.

Excursions in Tuscany and Italy

Parola Italian school organizes sightseeing trips to the most interesting cities in Tuscany such as Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca, the seaside (all free of charge except for the bus or the train ticket). A guide accompanies the students. In case of special outings such as Venice, Perugia, Assisi, as well as the seaside Cinque Terre (the Five Lands). For these excursions, there is a fee to be paid to Florence For Fun.

The Chianti Region and Oil Production

A guide of Florence For Fun accompanies the students, who can visit beautiful wine-making estates in the Chianti region. The wine makers explain their methods, and of course, let you taste their wines. We also go to an olive oil production factory in Lucca in Tuscany. So our students can see the making of Tuscan olive oil.

Major Florentine Museums

One of our teachers takes students to the most important museums in Florence. From the Uffizi Museum to the beautiful Bargello and Museo dell'Opera del Duomo museums. The school can make reservations for private museums visits for students who want to visit exhibits during their study in Florence.

Visits to Florentine Workshops

Florence is also famous for its workshops of master craftsmen. These tours are organized according to craft (art restoration, jewelry making, pottery and so on) and are conducted by one of the teachers. We also visit the fascinating and historic leather workshop of S. Croce.

Evenings at the Opera in the Summertime

In Summer, special excursions are organized to see performances at the Arena in Verona, La Scala in Milan or the Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago.

Sport Facilities

Students can engage in their favorite sport activities: the school Parola can provide information regarding Florentine sport and athletic organizations. Florence has enough "green sites" but one needs to know them, for this reason the school provides information about places where students can go jogging, play golf or play tennis.

Convenient Restaurants in Florence

The school Parola has arrangements with typical Florentine restaurants where our students can enjoy the advantage of affordable prices. Moreover, once a week students can go for an evening aperitif with one of our teachers.
