Exploring Treviso
Treviso is conveniently located in an area rich in both natural and man-made sights. Veneto not only has history to offer, it also has unspoilt nature and breathtaking landscapes, within a territory that in few kilometres connects the Dolomite mountain range to the Venetian lagoon.
About 20kms to the south lies Venice, a city of pedestrians and water traffic. The city is so richly adorned that many visits are needed to fully explore it. Strolling around the web of alleyways and bridges, before stopping off for an espresso or gelato is a lot of fun. Gondola rides are pricey, but a great way to see Venice from the water.
The most popular sights in Venice include: the Basilica of San Marco, mausoleum of Venice's patron saint; the Doges' Palace; and the Accademia. Of the other city museums, the Ca' Rezzonico (18th century art), the Correr Museum and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (20th century art) are the most important. Beyond the city, where the pace of life is slower, are the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.
If its ski resorts you’re after, Belluno is to the north of Treviso. The town sits on the confluence of the rivers Piave and Ardo, and is backed by the ragged peaks of the Dolomites. Belluno gives visitors access to many local ski resorts and summer hiking trails. Wander around the Piazza dei Mercanti and Piazza dei Martiri in the centre, where the cafés and bars are located.
Back down the A4, the enchanting city of Verona is a must-see. Visitors come here for the theatre and the best known is the Arena, a magnificently preserved Roman amphitheatre which hosts the annual festival of opera and ballet. Alternatively, the Archaeological Museum is home to Roman artefacts; while the Castelvecchio Museum displays weapons, jewellery and some notable religious paintings.
