When you arrive in Vicenza, you will be enchanted by a dynamic, lively city, a daily destination for cultural tourism and a centre of excellence in different manufacturing sectors, from goldsmithery to metalworking, to textiles. A driving force of the Italian economy with a rich history and fascinating palaces and prestigious residences.
Palladio certainly left his mark on the city: the Olympic Theatre, the Palladian Basilica, Villa la Rotonda and Palazzo Chiericati are just some of the landmarks of a glorious past that has made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Moving away from the city centre, the Berici hills offer a landscape of unspoiled nature that will surprise you. A perfect destination for walks among vineyards and olive trees and of great interest for those who love good food.
Vicenza's central location means you can reach Venice in less than an hour and wander around its streets, go to a concert in Verona, or to Padua for a Spritz in Piazza delle Erbe.
The city has so much to offer: come and discover it!
