Treviso e le Colline del Prosecco
Some call it the Garden of Venice, but Treviso is so much more: an intertwining of elegant streets, snug squares, canals that reflect frescoed palaces, and arcades under which everyday life flows. Walking through the centre, every glimpse invites you to discover more: Piazza dei Signori with its vivacity, the Duomo that houses the Titian Altarpiece, the Church of San Nicolò with its fourteenth-century frescoes, and the former Convent of Santa Caterina, today a museum with an archaeological section.
The Buranelli Canal branches out into the heart of the city: the houses are reflected in the water, lights are reflected on the rippling surfaces, and each bridge seems to be made specifically to stop and admire the city.
Gently skimming the city walls, the Sile River outlines the Regional Natural Park, inviting exploration. Here you can cycle along the GiraSile, paddle between the banks of the river, or follow the traces of history among the ancient water pumps, the local fauna, the testimonies of industrial archaeology and the Burci Cemetery.
Leaving Treviso behind, you will see the plain rise gently before turning into a hill. On your route, you will find villages and cities that preserve stories of traditions and art, along gentle curves revealing frescoed villas that whisper stories of ancient nobility.
Now, the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene open up before you like a mosaic of vineyards shaped by man over the centuries. Today they are recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites not only for the beauty of the landscape, but also for the cultivation techniques that defy the slopes and produce a wine that is unique in the world.
Here, food and wine tourism is a sensory journey through historic wineries and vine rows, where Prosecco meets authentic flavours such as Treviso’s red radicchio PGI.
An experience to be enjoyed at a slower pace, with tasting sessions, trekking through the vineyards, and panoramic itineraries that always take you a little higher, as far as the next toast.
It marks the border between the Provinces of Treviso, Vicenza and Belluno but, rather than dividing them, it unites them in an extraordinary landscape. Here the mountain is sweet and wild at the same time, with high altitude pastures, dense forests and valleys dug by the water.
Vicenza e la Pedemontana Veneta
When you are in Vicenza, everything around you expresses art. Look up to see how the Palladian Basilica dominates Piazza dei Signori with its majestic covered walkway or loggia. Enter the streets of the historic centre and at every corner you can find a palazzo, a church, a museum, a detail that reveals the greatness of Andrea Palladio. Its Olympic Theatre will leave you breathless, as though crossing the threshold of a fantasy. Then follow the afternoon light, cross the Bacchiglione River and reach Villa La Rotonda, an icon of architectural perfection surrounded by greenery.
But Vicenza is also a lively city, with famous shops, restaurants that celebrate culinary tradition, open-air markets and events that animate the squares. You can explore on foot or by bike, stopping in hidden gardens or historic cafes to enjoy the laid-back pace of this city of art.
Nearby await walled cities, villages and ancient noble residences to complete your journey. Each place has a story to tell and an atmosphere all its own with unique experiences.
After the art and history, it's time to take some long deep breaths of fresh air. The Berici Hills are an ideal break and an opportunity to venture through vineyards, woods and scenic roads. You can cross them on foot, by bike or on horseback, with the scent of grapes accompanying you along the way. And then there is the cuisine: at a farmhouse surrounded by greenery, with a dish of Vicenza salted cod and a glass of Tai Rosso, the flavour of this land is slowly discovered.
The journey continues through the hills and valleys of the Venetian Pedemontana, the foot of the mountains, a territory that surprises with its variety. Here you can walk along paths that encounter medieval castles and villages, or travel the historic pilgrimage roads and cycle routes. Just follow the thread of local traditions and excellence to discover villages, huts and authentic flavours.
It marks the border between the Provinces of Treviso, Vicenza and Belluno but, rather than dividing them, it unites them in an extraordinary landscape. Here the mountain is sweet and wild at the same time, with high altitude pastures, dense forests and valleys dug by the water.
As you move from one location to another, the Palladian Villas will appear before your eyes, like gems embedded in the fields and hills. The villas are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also living places, which reveal an aristocratic past and the inimitable genius of Andrea Palladio.
After crossing cities, hills and villages, the journey ends at high altitude, where the air becomes cooler and nature dominates the landscape. On the Vicentine Prealps and the Asiago Plateau of Seven Municipalities, you can choose from many sports in winter or trails to explore in summer, all with an expanse of landscapes and delicious food and wine traditions.
