The
Veneto is one of most beautiful regions in Italy, due to its
huge variety of landscapes and ancient towns. The region of
Veneto is the most diverse region in Italy. If you want to
experience all that Italy has to offer in one relatively small
geographical area, then the Veneto should be your destination.
Veneto
has a rare combination of pleasant climate, stunning scenery,
beautiful towns and cities, cultural heritage and culinary
delights.
The countryside
has a unique charm with its small cities, treasure troves
of art and fine living. Oonly a few miles to the north the
Alps begin, their foothills dotted with charming towns and
lined with picturesque world-class vineyards.
Apart
from Venice, its capital and one of the most romantic cities
in the world, the region of Veneto includes the soaring peaks
of the Dolomite mountain range that are home to the world
famous ski-resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo and are arguably one
of the most beautiful range of mountains in Europe.
The beautiful
hill country that precedes the dramatic rise of the Dolomites
is home to some of Italy's most famous wines and some of its
more enchanting hill towns. There are also spa resorts hidden
away in these hills, whose thermal springs were first used
by the Romans. Among them, the amazing Euganean Hills one
of the most breathtaking, flourishing attractions surrounding
the city of Padua. At the foot of the hills are the spa towns
of Abano and Montegrotto Terme.
Most
people speed through the Veneto on their way to our favorite
Italian city, Venice. Because the average traveler aims only
to see the city on the lagoon, the rest of the region is blessedly
devoid of tourist crowds, and yet, consider what they are
missing: Padua the Erudite (Padova), where lovers of Renaissance
painting can see Giotto's memorable fresco cycle. Its great
basilica of Saint Anthony is very well-known among the catholic
world.
Verona,
home to Romeo and Juliet, one of the prettiest and most historical
little cities in the whole country.
Vicenza,
the memorable "laboratory" for a man who may have
been the most influential architect in history, Andrea Palladio,
famous for designing magnificent villas.
Treviso,
birthplace of radicchio and countaining a wealth of Renaissance
palaces and arcades.
Asolo,
a beautiful tiny hilltop medevial town at the foothills of
the Dolomites.
Soave,
a fairy-tale castle town whose name you may already know from
your local wine shop. Chioggia, a mini-Venice with all the
canals and none of the crowds.
Lake
Garda, flanked by lemon and olive groves, with the snowy Alps
reflected in its silvery waters. Teensy Marostica, where you
can watch a human chess game whose living pieces are garbed
in Renaissance costumes.
Bassano
del Grappa, the sub-alpine home of white asparagus. Valpollicella,
a verdant valley strewn with countless family wineries.

and many other delights await you in Veneto. Come with us
