For many years Veneto has been synonimus with Venice - but this beautiful region has so many other treasures worth discovering with a day trip from Venice.
TREVISO

You'll see true art masterpieces and Palladio's famous villas.

PADOVA
Another great artist left his mark on this city - Giotto, the famous medieval painter that here decorated the Scrovegni Chapel, one of his masterpieces. Equally beautiful is Prato della Valle, an elliptical green island with beautiful stautes, or St. Anthony's Basilica that houses the shrine of St. Anthony.
VICENZA
A city where the footprint of the Reinaissance Architect Andrea Palladio is more marked than ever.

Architect lovers can also visit the numerous palladian villas along the Brenta river, between Vicenza and Venice.
VERONA
