Cultural & Art Holidays

AITO companies tend to be specialists and enthusiasts, and amongst the membership are several of the foremost operators in cultural heritage holidays, art history breaks tours and themed tours. Some companies will organise an entire art holiday, while others will incorporate a day trip or two out to sights of particular interest as part of a longer holiday.

Cultural & Art holiday ideas

• Step into history with a cultural heritage holiday to the ancient land of the Pharaohs, visiting the temples of the Valley of the Kin gs and the museums and Pyramids of Cairo
• Visit Italy, the home of the Renaissance, on a special art history holiday trip to Florence, or a tour of Italy’s major Opera houses.
• Explore the Mayan ruins of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala by day, taking time out for tequila at night
• Cross the roof of the world to Tibet, on a cultural heritage holiday visiting the Potala in Lhasa, the former home of the Dalai Lama
• Escape to Greece, the land of myths, legends and oracles, as well as one of the world’s most idyllic coastlines

If you want to add a cultural flavour to a regular holiday, check with your tour operator to see if there are any special religious or cultural dates to be aware of, or festivals to be visited; they could enhance your trip greatly, although prices may be higher.
