!!!Kavalierstour

Grand Tour, educational journey undertaken by young noblemen. From the 
middle of the 16%%sup th/%  century, the grand tour became an 
accepted part of the education of noblemen, so that they could become 
acquainted with foreign countries, languages, and customs, get to know 
the world and human nature, and develop their powers of judgement and 
urbanity of manner. Austrian noblemen mainly travelled to Italy, but 
also to the western European countries, which considerably stimulated 
the aristocratic culture of the Baroque period. Because it was so 
costly, the grand tour generally went out of fashion in the 
18%%sup th/%  century.
