THINGS TO DO IN VICENZA AND SURROUNDINGS

- Vicenza is a beautiful Italian Renaissance city and a walk through its historical centre is the best way to admire the buildings designed by Andrea Palladio in 16th century, like Teatro Olimpico, the Basilica and Palazzo Chiericati. The surrounding area is no less charming, with the villas frescoed by Tiepolo and the Palladian villas located between the Berici hills and the foot of the Alps. A visit to villa La Rotonda in Vicenza, villa Barbaro in Maser, villa Emo in Fanzolo and villa Godi in Lugo is an absolute must.
Also the towns off the beaten track deserve to be discovered with a private tour, like Marostica, with its stately medieval walls and the 14th century castles, and Bassano del Grappa, surrounded by wineries, distilleries and ceramic workshops.
