Activity Level
In the far northeastern corner of Italy sits Trieste, for thousands of years a flourishing port city coveted by a succession of empires. Spend six weeks here beside the Adriatic Sea, immersing yourself in local culture, learning the language and discovering the remarkable history of the city and surrounding region. Explore Roman ruins, relax in the city’s historic cafes, and marvel at the architecture, much of it reflecting hundreds of years of Austro-Hungarian rule. With other participants, you’ll enjoy weekly happy hours, cooking classes, an exclusive concert and field trips to important historical sites like 8th-century Cividale del Friuli. Live the life of a Triestino!
Best of all, you'll...
  • Live in the heart of Trieste, strolling its piazzas, savoring coffee in its renowned cafes and exploring centuries of magnificent architecture.
  • Learn the fundamentals of the Italian language during classes with your fellow Road Scholars, then practice it as you engage authentically with Triestini in daily life.
  • Enjoy a field trip to the eighth-century UNESCO World Heritage Site at Cividale del Friuli and the star-shaped Renaissance city of Palmanova.
