But the United States is bigger than one city. And one of the questions we hear most often from families is a simple one:

If we are already there, what else can we see?

The answer, for many of our students, is a short stay in Washington D.C. or Boston. Two days, one extra city, and a whole new side of America. Here is what makes each of them worth the trip — and how a quick getaway can become the part of the summer a student talks about for years.

Washington D.C.: Where a Country Explains Itself

Washington is compact, walkable, and unusually generous with its history. You do not need a week here. In two days, a student can stand in front of the buildings they have only ever seen on a screen, and understand, for the first time, that these are real places where real decisions are made.

These are the five moments we would not want any student to miss.

1. See the White House. There is something quietly powerful about standing in front of the most famous address in the world. For most students, this is the first photograph they send home.

2. Visit the Capitol Building. The home of American democracy is more impressive in person than on television. Its dome anchors the entire city and makes the abstract idea of “government” suddenly concrete.

3. Step inside the Smithsonian Museums. Some of the finest museums on the planet — and entry is free. Space rockets, dinosaurs, art, natural history: whatever a student is curious about, there is a hall here that speaks to it.

4. Walk to the Washington Monument. The towering obelisk at the centre of the National Mall is the city’s natural meeting point, surrounded by open green space that is perfect for catching your breath between sights.

5. Reach the Lincoln and World War II Memorials. End the tour where some of the most important words in American history were spoken. Standing on those steps is the kind of moment that stays with a young traveller.

What makes the MLA Washington D.C. MiniBreak special is that it is not only Washington. The same short stay also takes in Philadelphia — Independence Mall and the Liberty Bell — and Baltimore, with its Inner Harbor and the historic streets of Fells Point. Three cities, one journey, and the whole founding story of a nation told along the way.

Boston: History, Harbour, and Harvard

If Washington is where America explains its government, Boston is where America began. New England’s capital blends centuries of revolutionary history with the restless, hopeful energy of a great student city. For young people thinking about their own futures, few places feel more inspiring.

Here is how we would spend a short stay in Boston.

1. Walk through Harvard Yard. Setting foot on the campus of one of the most prestigious universities in the world has a way of widening a student’s sense of what is possible. Sometimes a single afternoon plants a very big idea.

2. Follow the Boston Freedom Trail. This walking tour traces the footsteps of the American Revolution, taking in Bunker Hill, the USS Constitution, and the Paul Revere House. History stops being a chapter in a textbook and becomes the ground under your feet.

3. Feel the buzz at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Street performers, food stalls, and shops make this lively square one of the best places to take the pulse of the city.

4. Go whale watching. From Boston’s Central Wharf, a boat carries you out to the Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, where students may see whales in their natural habitat. It is the kind of experience no classroom can offer.

5. Relax at Boston Common, then explore Newbury Street. Slow down in the oldest public park in the United States, then enjoy some easy shopping around Copley Square and stylish Newbury Street. Every good trip needs a little time to simply enjoy being there.

You Do Not Have to Choose Between America’s Great Cities

This is the part families tend to like most. A student does not have to pick between the cities that shaped America. Both Washington D.C. and Boston are available as MiniBreak add-ons to MLA’s New York summer programme at Ramapo College — a short, fully organised extension built into the existing trip.

So the summer can hold all of it at once: an English course, life on a genuine American campus, the energy of Manhattan, and a couple of days in one of these unforgettable cities.

Because, as we always say at MLA, technology and planning prepare the student — but it is the experience that transforms them. A morning on the National Mall or an afternoon at sea off the coast of Boston is exactly the kind of experience we mean.

Two cities. One extraordinary summer. The only question left is which one a student will choose first.

Not all destinations are the same
Every destination has its own personality, and finding the right one also means understanding where you are in your own journey: is it your first experience abroad, or have you already travelled before?

Those leaving for the first time may need a more reassuring environment, where they can find their bearings and feel at home. Those who have already had similar experiences, on the other hand, may be looking for something more intense, something that truly challenges them.

England: the great classic that never disappoints
England remains one of the most natural choices, especially for those who want to improve their English effectively. But even here, the differences are important.

London is a city that sweeps you away: huge, full of stimulation, always on the move. Perfect for those who already have some experience and want to push themselves, it can feel overwhelming at first, also because of its pace and costs. Oxford, by contrast, has a more intimate, elegant and academic atmosphere, ideal for focusing and building relationships without feeling overwhelmed. Dover, finally, quieter and more authentic, is perfect for a gradual immersion and for starting out calmly.

United States: truly living the language
In the United States, everything is amplified: the distances, the energy, the possibilities. New York offers a totalizing experience, where every day can bring new encounters and discoveries. Los Angeles has a more relaxed rhythm, while Miami blends English and Latin influences in a sunny and informal setting.

These cities are fascinating, but they also require a good ability to adapt, making them more suitable for those who have already had other experiences abroad.

Ireland and Scotland: feeling at ease right away
For those who want to leave without feeling too far from home, Ireland and Scotland offer welcoming and stimulating environments. Dublin is lively yet accessible, Galway more intimate and familiar. Edinburgh, with its historic streets and understated charm, invites you to slow down and observe.

Here, making friends, getting used to the language and finding your own rhythm feels easier, making these destinations ideal for first-time travellers.

Spain: languages and Mediterranean colours
Spain combines language study with a vibrant lifestyle. Barcelona stands out for its creative energy, unique architecture and intense cultural life. Valencia, on the other hand, offers a more relaxed atmosphere, with a mild climate, beaches and a peaceful daily rhythm, ideal for focusing on study without giving up enjoyment.

In both cities, it is possible to practise Spanish in real-life contexts, among markets, cafés and cultural activities, living an immersive learning experience full of discovery.

East Asia: an intense and different experience
For those looking for a new and stimulating challenge, East Asia offers total immersion in languages and cultures far removed from the Western world.

Tokyo is a city that leaves its mark: immense, orderly and surprisingly quiet despite the crowds, ideal for testing yourself and discovering something new every day. Osaka, livelier and more spontaneous, allows you to combine study with authentic daily life among markets, street food and real contact with the language. Kyoto, with its temples, silences and slower rhythms, encourages focus and deep cultural immersion. Finally, Seoul, dynamic and modern yet deeply rooted in tradition, surprises with its energy and creativity, making study stimulating and each day full of discoveries.

The right choice is the one that works for you
There is no absolute best destination, only the one that best fits your moment and your personal needs. Some journeys begin gradually, while others throw you straight into intense and stimulating experiences. Some people seek concentration, while others want to combine study, exploration and adventure.

A study holiday truly succeeds when it brings these elements together: learning, discovery and a touch of surprise. Very often, it is precisely the unexpected moments and discoveries that turn a simple trip into a memorable experience.

When students join a study holiday in London, their time is limited. That’s why choosing the right excursions makes the real difference between simply visiting the city and living a true cultural experience abroad.

Because learning English does not happen only in the classroom.

It happens while walking through history, standing in front of world-famous art, and discovering authentic British towns.

Here are the top experiences that transform a short stay into a complete and meaningful journey.

1. Walking Through History: Westminster & Political London

If students have only one iconic London experience, this is the one.

Our London Walking Tour includes:

• Houses of Parliament & Big Ben

• Westminster Abbey

• Whitehall

• 10 Downing Street

This is not just sightseeing. It is stepping directly into British history and politics.

Students see where decisions that shaped the world were made. They walk the same streets as kings, prime ministers, and historical figures studied in school.

From a learning perspective, this excursion supports:

• Listening comprehension

• Cultural vocabulary

• Real-life context for historical topics

For families choosing a study holiday in London, this tour offers immediate educational value combined with unforgettable visual impact.

2. South Kensington & Natural History Museum + Lunch at Hard Rock Café

London is also about discovery and energy.

Our South Kensington excursion combines culture, science, and fun:

• Walking through one of London’s most elegant neighborhoods

• Visiting the Natural History Museum

• Lunch experience at the iconic Hard Rock Café

The Natural History Museum captivates students of all ages. Dinosaurs, geology, evolution — it makes learning interactive and engaging.

Then comes the Hard Rock Café experience. A moment of fun, group bonding, and international atmosphere.

This balance between education and enjoyment is essential during a short stay. Students remain motivated, curious, and socially engaged.

It’s what makes a structured program feel dynamic rather than overwhelming.

3. Art and London’s Vibrant Heart: National Gallery & West End Icons

For students interested in culture and creativity, this excursion is a highlight.

The National Gallery houses one of the richest painting collections in the world. From Van Gogh to Leonardo da Vinci, students experience masterpieces up close.

But the day does not stop there.

The tour continues through:

• Covent Garden

• Trafalgar Square

• Piccadilly Circus

This is the beating heart of London.

Students move from classical art to modern city life within minutes. They observe street performers, iconic billboards, and the multicultural atmosphere that defines London today.

This type of experience reinforces vocabulary, cultural awareness, and observational skills.

It is immersive, dynamic, and memorable.

4. Discovering Authentic England: Half-Day Excursion to Guildford

A short stay in London becomes even more meaningful when students step outside the capital.

Our half-day excursion to Guildford, with public transport and full staff assistance, offers a different perspective on British life.

Guildford is charming, traditional, and welcoming.

The program includes:

• Walking tour of the town

• Exploration of its historic centre

• Time to experience local shops and atmosphere

Using public transport adds a real-life learning element. Students practice independence while being supported by staff.

They experience what everyday life looks like in a smaller English town — something very different from central London.

For parents, this excursion adds depth and authenticity. For students, it becomes one of the most surprising and appreciated moments of the trip.

5. Why Structured Excursions Make the Difference

During a short stay, free time without guidance can lead to missed opportunities.

Structured excursions ensure that:

• Students see the essential highlights

• Learning remains central

• Safety is guaranteed

• Time is used efficiently

• Group cohesion is strengthened

Each of our London experiences is designed not just as a visit, but as part of a broader cultural experience abroad.

Students are not passive tourists.

They are active participants in a journey that combines:

• Language immersion

• Cultural discovery

• Social growth

• Academic enrichment

This approach transforms a few days into a high-impact international experience.

Turning a Short Stay into a Complete Cultural Experience Abroad

A short stay does not mean limited growth.

With carefully selected excursions — from Westminster’s political landmarks to the Natural History Museum, from the National Gallery to Guildford’s historic streets — students gain a deeper understanding of British culture.

They practice English in authentic situations.
They bond with international classmates.
They develop confidence navigating a global city.

For families investing in a study holiday in London, these excursions represent real added value.

Because language learning becomes more effective when linked to emotion, movement, and real-world context.

And London offers the perfect open-air classroom.

Conclusion: Experience London, Don’t Just Visit It

A few days in London can be extraordinary — if planned well.

Our curated excursions ensure that students experience the city in a meaningful, safe, and engaging way.

From political history to world-class art, from scientific discovery to charming English towns, every activity is designed to enhance both learning and memory.

Because the goal is not simply to see London.

It is to live it — and turn a short stay into a powerful cultural experience abroad.

Unlike the Western New Year, it does not have a fixed date: it can fall between January 21 and February 20 and marks the beginning of fifteen days of celebrations, rituals, and traditions that culminate in the evocative Lantern Festival. In 2026, it falls today, February 17, officially opening a new cycle rich in meanings and symbols.

A celebration that spans across Asia

Although it originated in China, this celebration is widespread in many countries across Asia and the Pacific, each with its own traditions: in China it is called Chūnjié (Spring Festival), in South Korea it is known as Seollal, in Vietnam it is celebrated as Tết, in Indonesia it is referred to as Tahun Baru Imlek, and in Malaysia and Singapore it is often called Chinese New Year.

In South Korea, for example, it is one of the most significant holidays of the year: families gather together, perform ritual bows to elders, and eat tteokguk, a rice cake soup that symbolizes the beginning of a new age.

In Singapore, in addition to celebrations at home, the streets come alive with markets, decorations, lion dances, and the grand Chingay Parade, which blends Chinese tradition with a multicultural spirit.

Traditions and small lucky “don’ts”

Before the start of the new year, homes are thoroughly cleaned as a symbolic way to “sweep away” the bad luck of the past year.

However, during the first few days, certain things should be avoided: taking out the trash or sweeping the floor is discouraged so as not to throw away newly arrived good fortune, and washing your hair is considered unlucky, as it may “wash away” your good luck.

On the contrary, wearing something red — the color of happiness and prosperity — and spending time with family are considered auspicious.

In China, millions of people travel back to their hometowns to share the New Year’s Eve dinner: it is the largest annual human migration in the world. In many Asian cities, fireworks, traditional dances, and symbolic dishes such as yusheng — a salad that in Singapore is “tossed” high into the air with chopsticks as a propitiatory gesture — are an essential part of the celebrations.

The Year of the Horse in the Chinese New Year

According to tradition, each year is associated with one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

2026 is the Year of the Horse, a symbol of energy, freedom, determination, and initiative.

What if this were your year to run toward a new goal? For many young people, it can become an invitation to challenge themselves, discover new cultures, travel, study foreign languages, and open up to the world.

After all, Chinese New Year is not just a celebration: it is a moment to start again with enthusiasm and look toward the future with confidence!

Immersed in Culture, Not Just Language

When you go on an MLA Study Holiday, learning English becomes just one part of the experience! Every city you visit — whether you choose London, Dublin, or New York — becomes your cultural “training ground.” You’ll walk streets full of history and tradition, meet people with habits different from your own, and try foods you never imagined tasting.

Slowly, you start to feel part of this new reality. You begin to understand jokes in English, discover hidden corners of the city, and maybe even say “I’m lovin’ it” without thinking while biting into a classic burger. This cultural immersion transforms you, making you more aware of the world and helping you understand that every place has a story to tell.

Friendships That Cross Borders

Remember the first day at school when everyone was a stranger? On an MLA Study Holiday, that feeling multiplies: students come from all over the world, each with different accents and stories. But surprisingly, it takes very little time to break the ice!

In class, while learning English, you’ll make friends with students from other countries, supporting each other in small daily challenges — like ordering a coffee at Starbucks in a language that isn’t your own! Soon, you’ll realise these friendships aren’t temporary: some will become friends for life. You’ll exchange messages, meet again on holidays, and maybe even reunite on the other side of the world, thanks to this experience that brought you together.

Discovering Independence

An MLA Study Holiday presents daily challenges that help you become more independent! From managing your time between study and fun, to navigating a foreign city, to taking care of small responsibilities — like keeping your college room tidy or managing your expenses with the MLA Prepaid Card!

At first, you might feel a little lost, but you’ll quickly discover that you can handle things on your own. Every small challenge you overcome makes you stronger and more confident. When you return home, you’re no longer the same person: you’ve learned to solve problems independently and face new situations without constant support.

New Perspectives for the Future

Many students return from their MLA Study Holiday with a fresh outlook on life! The experiences abroad, the people they meet, and the challenges they overcome make them think about what they really want for their future.

You might discover a passion for a new subject, or feel inspired to study at an international university. For some, a study holiday is the first step toward a career in tourism, international relations, or teaching English. The possibilities are endless, and the world suddenly feels much bigger and full of opportunities!

An Adventure That Leaves a Mark

Every MLA Study Holiday is a collection of unique experiences: from the first selfie in front of London’s Big Ben, to walking the cobbled streets of Dublin, to the thrill of navigating the subway in New York. Every detail stays in your memory, turning into stories you’ll share for years.

It’s an adventure that leaves a lasting mark, and when you return home, you’ll have a story that is uniquely yours.

As you can see, an MLA Study Holiday is not just an opportunity to improve your English: it’s an adventure that opens doors, creates friendships, and makes you more aware of yourself and the world around you.

Take advantage of our special promotion ending on 21/10 to make this dream a reality at the lowest price of the year, saving up to €1550 and receiving a free 8-month pre-departure course in either General English or Cambridge Exam Preparation!

1. Dreams and Interests come first

Every student has a dream waiting to be explored. Maybe your child imagines strolling through Central Park, admiring Tower Bridge, or discovering the unspoilt landscapes of Ireland. Talk with them and find out what excites them most:

Big city or relaxed atmosphere?
If they love energy and fast-paced environments, New York or London are perfect choices. If they prefer calm surroundings and nature, Dublin or a smaller city like Galway may be ideal.

Passion for history?
Cities such as Edinburgh or Malta offer an irresistible blend of culture, heritage, and tradition.

Listening to their wishes makes the decision easier and helps them feel involved from the very beginning.

2. One Goal, One Destination

A study abroad experience is much more than a trip — it’s an investment in the future. What would you like your child to gain from this journey?

• Fluent, confident English?
  UK destinations are renowned for clear accents and strong academic standards.

• Independence and maturity?
  Exciting and distant destinations like Toronto or Miami encourage responsibility and personal growth.

• A truly cosmopolitan experience?
  A study abroad programme in global cities such as London or New York offers an unparalleled insight into international life, thanks to their multicultural environment.

3. The Details That Make the Difference

Practical aspects also play an important role:

• Climate
  Does your child love sunshine and warm weather? Malta is an excellent option. Prefer cooler summers? Edinburgh or Dublin are ideal.

• Distance from home
  For a first experience abroad, you may prefer nearby destinations like the UK or Ireland. For older and more independent students, why not consider the USA or Canada?

4. The Support of the MLA Team

We know that parents value safety, organisation, and peace of mind. That’s why every MLA destination is carefully selected to offer a secure and stimulating environment, supported by an experienced and attentive team ready to assist students throughout their study abroad journey.

Even during the selection process, MLA is by your side. Our team is always available to help you find the perfect destination, tailored to your child’s needs and personality.

Choosing the Right Destination

Careful research and choosing a destination that actively promotes sustainable tourism is the first step. Look for places that adopt eco-friendly practices and are committed to nature conservation. Destinations that value local traditions and support the local economy are ideal choices.

Sustainable Accommodation

When booking your accommodation, look for options with recognised sustainability certifications or eco-friendly policies. Many hotels and lodgings now offer solutions such as solar panels, waste reduction systems, and energy-saving practices. Choosing these accommodations helps reduce the environmental impact of your stay.

Respecting Natural Resources

When exploring national parks, beaches, or nature reserves, always respect local regulations and follow the “Leave No Trace” principles. Avoid disturbing wildlife and plant life, never leave litter behind, and aim to minimise the impact of your activities on the surrounding environment.

Supporting Local Businesses

One of the best ways to support local communities is by purchasing products and services from local shops and markets. Try traditional cuisine, buy handmade souvenirs, and support community-run businesses. This way, you contribute directly to the local economy.

Choosing Sustainable Transport

Whenever possible, opt for low-impact transportation. Choose trains, buses, or bicycles instead of flights. When flying is necessary, look for airlines that adopt eco-conscious policies and sustainability initiatives.

Taking Part in Local Initiatives

Many destinations offer activities for visitors who want to make a positive contribution to the community. Take part in environmental volunteering projects or attend local events that promote sustainability. These experiences will not only enrich your journey but also leave a lasting positive impact on the destination you’re visiting.

Sustainable tourism is a meaningful way to explore the world with awareness and responsibility. Every small action matters and together, we can truly make a difference!

Victorian greenhouses, rare species, a Japanese garden, and even a treetop walkway make this a complete experience for all ages — perfect also for an educational visit focused on biodiversity and sustainability.

Jardin Majorelle – Marrakech, Morocco

Iconic, vibrant, and magnetic. Jardin Majorelle looks like it has been painted straight from a colour palette. The intense blue walls, mustard-yellow pots, tropical plants, and cacti create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world.

Designed in the 1920s by French artist Jacques Majorelle and later restored and made famous by Yves Saint Laurent, it is now one of the most photographed gardens in the world.
