The Botanical Garden of Padua

The botanical garden in Padua was founded in 1545 and is the world's oldest university botanical garden. This natural and architectural wonder houses nearly 7,000 plant species, a unique variety of specimens recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1997.

The old garden, a circular structure in which a square is inscribed that is divided into four more regular squares, is the product of scientific fervour on the one hand and the ideals of order, balance and geometry that enlivened Padua's cultural landscape during the Renaissance on the other hand.

Messner Mountain Museum Dolomites

Monte Rite can be reached from Passo Cibiana along an accessible dirt path about 7 km long. Once you reach the top, a few steps from the Dolomites Refuge, you will find the Messner Mountain Museum Dolomites, better known as the Museum in the Clouds.

This space tells the story of exploration and mountaineering in the Dolomites. During your visit you can admire photos, paintings, works of art and artefacts to discover the true essence of the mountains and the Dolomites.

The Museum of Flight

The Castle of San Pelagio is surrounded by three hectares of green land. We are located in Due Carrare, in the province of Padua. This is the place that, between 1917 and 1918, welcomed poet Gabriele D'Annunzio as he prepared to fly over Vienna, a notable episode of the Great War that changed the castle's fate. As a consequence, the Zaborra family, owner of the villa, decided to transform part of the property into the Museum of Flight.

The Book House

One feels as if it is fairytale and yet it is reality: at Tambre, in the province of Belluno, a beautiful book-shaped construction exists, which is completely built out of wood and full of unique features and details. The 'Casa dei Libri' is the work of the Venetian artist Livio De Marchi, a sculptor reknown for his creations.

A sea of fossils

At the foot of the Lessini Mountains, in the heart of the valley carved by the River Alpone, the tiny village of Bolca offers a fascinating and exciting journey back in time for the whole family.

Livelet Park

Located in the municipality of Revine Lago, in the province of Treviso, the Parco Archeologico Didattico del Livelet (" Livelet Educational Archaeological Park") is located in a small area that caters for a variety of natural, historical and food and wine interests.
