1) What are the 10 locations in Veneto that you should visit? VENICE

The first stage of an ideal route to get to know this region could be Venice. With its lagoon, its islands and the Grand Canal, with its wonderful and richly decorated old buildings that resemble the splendor of the ancient Maritime Republic. SEE OUR TIPS ON VENICE. Venice is a city without equal in the world, beautiful also in winter with that nostalgic and dreamy aura. A city entirely built on water with a not-so-far-away glorious past can only attract hordes of tourists. Romantic, melancholy, carnival and aristocratic, Venice is all that. I believe that in the world there is no similar city with so much art and beauty.

Attractions in Venice

Unlike other cities, there is no historic center and it is divided into six districts, each of which has a particular character. It is the dream of many travelers to go at least once in their life to this city with a mysterious and romantic atmosphere. This city is rich in monuments and art, the incredible St Mark’s Square, the Bridge of Sighs, the Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Basilica, the innumerable little streets full of shops and artisan workshops, the ornate churches of canvases, sculptures and frescoes from each season, museums and hidden squares, the famous “campi” and “campielli”. Each place you see has a history and a lot of fascination.

Although there are many who think that the Dolomites are a prerogative of Trentino, it is good to repeat that much of this mountain range is located in the Veneto region. TIPS ON DOLOMITES?

Attractions in the Dolomites

The Dolomites preserve some of the most beautiful places to visit in Italy. They offer fabulous scenery in any season, as well as many outdoor sports activities, in small villages that seem to belong to a distant past, picturesque lakes with a thousand reflections and a location known internationally.

In particular, the Ampezzana section (where Cortina is perhaps the most well-known location) is located entirely in this region and represents a scenic spectacle for all skiers and for those who love panoramas and breathtaking views. Cortina d’Ampezzo’s centuries-old fame is mainly due to the unique and seductive fascination of its snowy mountains and magnificent ski slopes, among the most challenging in the Dolomites.

You cannot miss the 12th century Cathedral, a precious work done by Tiziano and Pordenone (Tiziano’s great rival) and Piazza dei Signori (“Lords’ Square”). Treviso is an elegant city, rich with neat stores and local products, including the famous red chicory, which can be enjoyed in various preparations and special menus.

Along the entire wall of the fortress you can admire beautiful merlons of the guelfo type. The Carraresi, lords of Padua from the mid-1300s, increased and reinforced the city walls. One of the characteristic features of the village is the Castle of Saint Zeno, used until the First World War. The fortified walls are very famous, and even today they are kept in excellent condition. The inner city was developed, following a Renaissance type installation and in the small town there are plenty of wide and luminous avenues.
