Join us in Florence for a Still Life adventure
Find your literary travel tribe and come with us on a journey following in the footsteps of Ulysses and Evelyn in Florence, Italy.
9-11 October 2026
Travel the books you love. Step off the page and in to Still Life in Florence.
Join us in October 2026 for an immersive journey into the world of Still Life in the beautiful city of Florence.
During this literary weekend we’ll explore the places that capture the spirit of the story — from lively neighbourhoods and hidden corners to the restaurant that helped inspire the novel itself.
Together we’ll walk, talk, eat, and soak up the atmosphere of a city that feels almost tailor-made for literature.
This is more than a trip. It’s an invitation to step out of the quiet solitude of reading and into the shared joy of travel, where stories come alive in the places that inspired them.
If Still Life captured your imagination, this is your chance to step directly into its world.

Why travel with Book Club Travel Club?
Created by readers, for readers. Every itinerary begins with a deep respect for the book that inspired it. Here are just a few reasons why we think literary travel – together – is the way forwards.
Because Stories Are Better Shared
Books have a unique way of transporting us to other places and times. But reading is often a solitary experience.
Book Club Travel Club was created to change that. Our journeys bring readers together to step beyond the page and into the real places that inspired the stories they love.
A Different Kind of Travel Experience
Many tours focus on ticking off landmarks.
We explore the context, history and atmosphere that shaped the story, helping you see a destination through the lens of literature.
It’s not just sightseeing. It’s a deep-dive in to the heart of the story.
Travel With Fellow Book Lovers
The magic of these trips lies in the people who join them.
Everyone arrives with a shared love of books and curiosity about the world.
Many guests come solo — and leave having made new connections with people who share their passions.
Thoughtfully Designed Experiences
Our itineraries are carefully curated to create meaningful moments without feeling rushed or overwhelming.
Whilst there is time scheduled as a group, you can also dip in and out of the group-based plans as much as you like; there are not firm rules around attendance at anything
