Holidays for Art Lovers

Explore

These holidays are perfect for travellers who want to delve into the art world. You'll visit historic masterpieces, world-renowned museums and a few places you haven't heard of but have to see.

From cave paintings to modern art, art is an intrinsic element of a nation’s cultural identity. Art is about sharing the way we experience the world and through it, our history, ideas, beauty and emotion is captured. In Italy, Renaissance art reveals the era's fascination with humanism and classical knowledge, while the historic street art of Berlin makes statements on social and political issues of the day. Even if you’re not an art buff, there’s something extraordinary about seeing an original masterpiece in reality, and on a Riviera holiday, you can see incredible works like the Sistine Chapel, the Last Supper or The Birth of Venus. For art lovers everywhere, here are Rivera holidays that include visits to see the most recognisable and priceless works, world-renowned museums and galleries – like Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum – there’s even a couple of truly unique art experiences on offer too.
