This event is practically a way to sell chocolate.

Cioccolandovi is made of several stalls located on six squares of Vicenza. It lasts three days and is due at the end of october. Besides the stalls a free of charge guided tour of the town is offered.

Unique Suggestions: You can taste various kind of chocolate and pralines for free. Most of the stalls (perhaps every stall) offer a taste of their products.

Ponta San Michele

This bridge, built 1620, is often touted as a very scenic place from which to soak up Vicenza atmosphere. To us, it held nothing special compared to other bridges in the city which revealed much more of a skyline.

Fun Alternatives: Further down the river is a different bridge where I took my intro page.

Vicenza is the most important centre for the gold trade in Italy. Twice a year there is a big international fair and that is the time when visitors might have inconviniences because magnetic sound of gold gather here thiefs from all over the Europe. In case you are visiting the fair at that time, keep watching your things and in particularly do not leave anything valuable in your cars.

Fun Alternatives: Park your car inside of the protected and monitoring garage, or leave your valuables in the hotel's safe.
