What to do in Veneto: Veneto to Experience: Authentic Journeys of Art, Nature, and Flavor

The Veneto region is extraordinarily rich in landscapes, stories, and emotions. From the peaks of the Dolomites to the golden beaches of the Adriatic, from Palladian villas to fortified towns, every corner of the land offers experiences to enjoy in every season.

Padua, city of Saint Anthony, hosts one of the oldest cultural hubs in Europe. It is home to the University founded in 1222, one of the most prestigious in Italy, where Galileo Galilei taught. The Botanical Garden, a UNESCO heritage site, is the oldest university botanical garden in the world still in its original location. And it was in Padua that the Aperol Spritz—now an icon of Italian aperitivo—was born.
Verona, also a UNESCO city, is famous for its Roman Arena and as the setting of Romeo and Juliet. But Shakespeare set other plays in the Veneto as well, including The Merchant of Venice, Othello, and The Taming of the Shrew, embedding the region in world literature.
Vicenza is the city of Andrea Palladio, whose architectural legacy shaped European Renaissance. His villas and palaces are UNESCO sites, often explored via themed tours or cycling routes.
Treviso, a city of canals and frescoes, is also the birthplace of tiramisù, one of the world’s most beloved desserts. Its charming canals and traditional osterie give the historic center a graceful elegance.
Belluno and Cortina d’Ampezzo, surrounded by the Dolomites, offer breathtaking landscapes, year-round sports, and pristine nature that amazes in every season.

The Veneto is also home to impeccably preserved medieval villages. In Bassano Asolo Este, Montagnana, Monselice, and Marostica you can stroll through ramparts, castles, and picturesque squares steeped in enduring traditions.
The Euganean and Berici Hills host vineyards, abbeys, noble villas, and authentic trattorias. Here, some of Veneto’s finest wines originate—such as Fior d’Arancio DOCG and Tai Rosso. Top experiences include vineyard tastings, olive grove walks, countryside dinners, and panoramic hikes.

Venetian Villas epitomize the refined civilization of the Serenissima—noble residences and working farms built along waterways between Venice and its hinterland.
The Riviera del Brenta, between Padua and Venice, is an open-air museum best discovered by boat or bike. Notable villas include Villa Pisani, Villa Widmann, Villa Valmarana, and Villa Foscari – La Malcontenta, all set in monumental gardens on the riverbank.
On the Sile River—Europe’s longest spring-fed watercourse—you can glide between antique mills, rural villages, and lush landscapes along some of the region’s most scenic bike paths.
The Po Delta, a UNESCO heritage site, is a natural paradise to explore by boat, foot, or bike—perfect for birdwatching and a genuine nature escape.

ILake Garda, bordering Veneto, Lombardy, and Trentino, features picturesque towns like Lazise, Bardolino, and Malcesine, ideal for outdoor activities, water sports, gastronomy, and wellness.
Veneto’s beaches—from Rosolina Mare to Sottomarina, Eraclea to Bibione—offer golden sand, shallow waters perfect for families, modern beach resorts, seaside cycle paths, and natural trails through pinewoods and lagoons.
Chioggia, known as the “Little Venice of fishermen,” is famous for its fish market, canals, and lanes reminiscent of Venice. Boat trips from here lead to the southern lagoon—perfect for sunset views and authentic flavors.

• River cruises in the Po Delta, immersed in pristine nature
