Experience Architecture from Around the World with Architectural Adventures

Architectural Adventures, a travel program from the American Institute of Architects (AIA), is the premier travel provider for architecture, art, and photography enthusiasts, as well as intellectually curious travelers. The program offers a variety of small-group tours specializing in the exploration and appreciation of some of the world’s most remarkable architecture, all while enjoying a destination’s culture, food, and traditions.

Every Architectural Adventures tour features subject-matter experts, hand-picked by the AIA, to guide travelers and enliven their awareness of the world’s architecture. These guides offer an up-close view of not just the iconic landmarks and buildings in the various cities, but also an explanation of how the historical, political and cultural events helped shape the cityscapes.

Architectural Adventures Tour Features:

  • Enjoy educational guidance and commentary from a knowledgeable and engaging, Architectural Adventures-selected expert who will offer unique insights through formal and informal discussions.
  • Participate in special excursions, exclusive behind-the-scenes access and get insider knowledge to popular sights as well as lesser-known, yet equally fascinating architecture.
  • Explore and photograph the world and its architectural wonders with like-minded travelers.
  • Accommodations, most meals, tour transportation and logistical details of the trip are included in the tours.
