CAPA WORLD

Cozy up to Florence, Italy with these solo and/or group activities. Maya shares her favorite (and routine) things to do in the city that involve ways to unwind, recharge, and appreciate your time abroad. Find out about walking routes, boat tours, local markets, and more.

Maya and her roommates visited Cinque Terre and spent time in the awe-inspiring seaside towns along the western coast of Italy. Check out the activities they got up to on this trip!

Before she had some of the best meals this summer in Florence, Maya Tolerico's Italian food journey began with something cold and refreshing—a gelato. Read up on her food adventures to see a round up of food from Florence that's left its mark on her palate.

What are you most excited for during your study abroad semester?
I am most excited to be fully immersed in a new country for a length of time that will allow me to absorb the people, culture, and experiences. I look forward to new foods, interacting with Florentines, and trying new things.
