Asolo - A little east of Bassano de Grappa

by rubbersoul75

The small medieval town of Asolo in the foothills of the dolomites doesn't get much play in the tour books, but it deserves a visit if you are in the neighborhood. The town is compact and has great views with a central Italian hill town feel. A 1/2 day is enough to explore the 2 castles, shops, cafes and architecture of Asolo. It makes a nice break from some of the larger towns of the Veneto, and is within 10 km from from 2 great Villas - Including Paladios masterpiece Villa Barbaro in Maser to the east.

Asiago

by rubbersoul75

Altopiano di Asiago - Or High Plain of Asiago is an area known for it's Asiago Cheese, bloody WWI battles, and skiing. The area is at the foothills of the Alps, about an hours drive North of Vicenza, and 1/2 hour NW of Bassano.The town is small and pleasant, with about 6,500 residents. Italian, with a bit of alpine atmosphere. It is always a bit cooler than the areas to the south, making it a nice break when the temps are high. The Altopiano area is great for outdoor activities including hiking, biking, and skiing.

Venice in a day

by rubbersoul75

Well, one day is better than none. If that's all the time you've got you can easily do you're own, inexpensive tour of the city, including a boat ride along the grand canal. You are probably arriving on the train so take the public boat system, stop Ferovia directly in front of the Station, all the way up the grand canal and get off at San Marco. Line 1 goes slowest so you can see everything, 5 euro for 90 minutes, you can get on and off if you like. This trip is about 45 minutes. Depending on the type of boat, sit/stand in the outside area in the back or sides, for the best views. The photo is from this Boat.The major sites you don't want to miss are around San Marco, (the Piazza, Basilica, Doge's palace, bridge of sighs, are all right here) and Rialto bridge area/markets. From San Marco you can walk easily to Rialto, which is on the way back to the train station. On a long day, you...

Montagnana

by rubbersoul75

This town, a bit out off the tourist map, has perhaps Italy's best-preserved Medieval. The walls that surround the town are impressive for their size (this is not a tiny town) and their exceptional condition considering they were constructed in the late 1300's. The walls are medieval, but you'll be disappointed if you expect a quaint medieval town. Many of the buildings inside the walls are more recent, and vehicle traffic zips through most of the streets.You will find some nice architecture, including a Palladio work (Villa Pisani) for those fans of Palladio as myself. Piazza Vittorio Emanuele is a large pleasant square with the impressive Duomo looming above.

Scrovegni Chapel in Padua

by rubbersoul75

Cappella degli ScrovegniHard to describe this chapel and the Giotto frescos that cover the inside. A monumental work of art that influenced many of the great European Artists that followed.The chapel was built in 1303, and Giotto painted the interior from 1303 to 1305. The Chapel was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni to lay to rest, and through the magnificent art, hopefully spare his father from eternal damnation. His father was a usurer (One who lends money at interest, especially at an exorbitant or unlawfully high rate) at a time when doing this wasn't cool. His dad was even mentioned in Dante's Inferno, suffering eternal damnation. I guess his loss is our gain.If you have any interest in art, you should visit this chapel. It is frescoed with scenes from the life of Christ in incredible detail and revolutionary realism for the time. Also, two great statues at the alter are done by...

Marostica

by rubbersoul75

The town of Marostica is surounded by some very impressive, almost perfectly preserved Medievel walls. These walls were built by the powerful Scaligeri family that ruled Verona and the surounding areas in the 13-1400's. The city walls head way up the steep foothills of the Dolomites just to the north. For some chalenging exersize and great views you can walk from the lower town to the fortress at the top. We decided to drive and found ourselves in the couryard of the castle (don't do the drive if you have a Van or SUV, it's tight).The Lower town is very pleasant with shops, cafe's and such. What is unique about Marostica is the huge Chessboard covering the main square, directly in front of Castello Inferiore (see photo). A life size chess game (Partita a Scacchi) is played here ever even year during the second week in September.

Padua - City of St. Anthony

by rubbersoul75

Padua is not as established on the tourist agenda as some of the surounging; for me that add’s to its appeal. The city is one of the most ancient in northern Italy, and offers visitors some unique sites, once you get past if its rough edges. Of course, It’s proximity to Venice (1/2 hour on the train) is reason alone to consider Padua as a base. It is a university town and has a very lively feel; the university is the second oldest in Italy, founded in 1222, with the likes of Gallileo having taught here. Padua is particulary lively around the 2 back to back Piazzas Dei Frutti and Delle Erbe (fruit and vegetable). These piazzas are sperated by Palazzo della Ragione, this palace is Europes biggest individual medieval hall. Both Piazzas host daily markets (every day except Sunday) which I’ve heard make it the largest regular food market in Italy behind Bolognas.You'll likely want to visit...

Verona - Romeo and Juliet's home town

by rubbersoul75

The 2nd largest city in the Venteto (behind Venice), Verona is a very elegant town. There is plenty more for us to explore in the Veneto, but I can’t wait to return to Verona, on the River Adige. The well preserved Roman Arena is a must see; it still holds crowds of 20,000 or more on a regular basis for music concerts and Opera. Surrounding the Arena on the expansive Piazza Bra are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants.Another great area of this City is the adjacent Piazzas of Piazza Erbe & Piazza Dei Signori. Plenty of shops and regular markets keep this area lively, and in the vicinity you’ll find the purported balcony of Shakespeare Juliette, judge for yourself. Around Piazza Dei Signori are located palaces and the tombs of the Scaligeri family, Verona’s version of the Medici. We also enjoyed walking along the river and crossing a few of the bridges.

Vicenza - Architectural Gem

by rubbersoul75

Vicenza is a nice size town, and without a doubt filled with some of the best examples of Italian Renaissance architecture. The city is an easy stop on the main train line from Venice, Padova, and Verona.The Piazza Dei Signori and Basilica at the center of town make a nice starting point for a visit; From here you're within a 5 minute walk to most of the major sites. These include:Corso Andrea Palladio - an elegant pedestrian stripTeatro Olimpico - A must, Palladios final and perhaps most impressive work, Europes oldest surving indoor theatre.Santa Corono - Impresive church built in 1261 to house a thorn from Christs crown thorn, Paintings by Bellini and Veronese, and beautiful marble mosaicsA number of Palladian PalazziIf you head south of the city center, up the hill behind the Train station you'll find the Pilgrimage church of Monte Berico and be rewarded with great views if the city...

Venice

by aliante1981

Venice is the second best-known Italian destination (after Rome), and is said to be one of the most romatic cities in the world. While I am not very much into romanticism myself, I still found Venice incredibly impressive (especially at sunset, but that's another point...). Here's why:- St. Mark's basilica - a unique church;- The Doge's palace with its 'Secret Trails' tours;- Bridges & canals;- Its unique public transport;- Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica;- Rialto Bridge...And all the rest. I am in the process of making a special page dedicated to Venice, so you can go there if you'd like some details...
