Picturesque towns and villages

belluno
The province and town of the same name Belluno in the north of Veneto lies below the peaks of the Dolomites. Belluno is a good starting point for a visit to the Dolomites where you can enjoy (mountain) hiking or cycling. Enjoy the beautiful views, mountain landscapes, lakes and enchanting mountain villages. In this province you will mainly find small-scale, green and quiet campsites. Also visit the city of Belluno, with Venetian-style palaces, parks and squares where you can drown in space. Recommended!

Student city Padova
This city with a cozy city center and colorful frescoes is definitely worth a visit. Visit the oldest botanical garden in the world, the Basilica di Sant'Antonio. This gem is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The city is known for its markets, every square has one. A dream for true gourmets. Small snacks or dishes are for sale everywhere, from the display case in a bar, on the market or from food trucks.

Venice
This city needs no introduction, everyone dreams of a romantic visit to Venice with an idyllic gondola ride. Venice is located on a group of 118 small islands, separated by canals and connected by more than 400 bridges and small bridges. Meander through the streets and canals of historic Venice. The most beautiful pictures are taken from the Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal. Take the cheap version of the gondola, a Traghetto. That is actually just the bus, so public transport. Slightly less luxurious than a gondola, but much cheaper and also great for sailing past all those palazzi!

Treviso
The former fishing village of Treviso is also known as 'Little Venice'. You immediately see why: the old canals, beautiful bridges, picturesque streets and colorful fishermen's houses. However, you walk around much quieter here than in the original. The center of Treviso is small with medieval gates and narrow cobbled winding streets. It's also a real cycling city, so tip: rent a locally made Pinarello bike (popular with cycling enthusiasts), to explore the city!

City of Vicenza - Unesco World Heritage
A beautiful and slightly lesser known city in the region is Vicenza. Thanks to the brilliant and revolutionary architect Andrea Palladio, Vicenza acquired a classical Roman appearance in the sixteenth century, which is still visible today. Very famous is his Villa Rotonda. It's not in the city, but: He designed 23 of the city's buildings in classical Roman architecture, including the Palazzo Barbaran da Porto. Vicenza is therefore on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Island village of Burano
The traditional island village of Burano is located on one of the islands in the bay near Venice. The picturesque canals and bridges show the Venetian style well. Very Instagrammable! The brightly colored houses stand out beautifully against the blue-green water of the canal. The Calle Galuppi is the main street of the island and here you will find glass blowers and lace shops. Visit the lace museum 'Museo del Merletto' in the Piazza.

Day Trips and Activities in Venice

Strada del Prosecco, where you can find the best proseccos.
The Strada del Prosecco or 'Prosecco Road' is a route between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene and winds through hills full of vines.

Lido di Jesolo
A well-known seaside resort on the Adriatic coast is Lido di Jesolo. Here you will find 5-star campsites and many more luxury campsites, often with a water park.
