In the province of Padova, you'll find flat plains and the dramatic peaks of the Dolomite Mountains. Padova itself is an old university town surrounded by the conical Euganean Hills. Today, the city is home to many attractions, including an impressive museum housed in a cluster of 14th century monastic buildings. Padova is also home to the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, one of Italy's most important churches. Thanks to the long established university, Padova has a hip, youthful flavor and a broad selection of bars, cafes, and restaurants. Situated south of the city, Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme are ancient Roman spa towns. You can still take the sulphurous waters or indulge in a rejuventing mud bath.

Although certainly best known for the romantic city of Venice, the northern Veneto boasts two other jewels: Vicenza and Treviso. Commercially Vicenza is known for its textiles and computer manufacturing. Architects know it for its artistry, as Vicenza is the birthplace of Andrea Palladio, an influential force in European architecture. Treviso is quaint and beautiful. Don’t miss the frescoes of the saints by artist Tommaso da Modena in the San Nicolo church or the fabulous wrought iron and copper utensils, for which the area is known.

Inspired by the Greek and Arab cities of the early Middle Ages, Venice is built on 118 islands. It is a bewitching maze of alleys, bridges, canals, and piazze. Long a cultural center, the Venetian school bred high renaissance masters such as Titian and Tintoretto; the city’s art collection is rivaled only by that of Florence. Piazza San Marco is perhaps one of the finest medieval squares in Europe. The dialect of Venice is without comparison and is virtually undecipherable to the uninitiated: for example, rio’ means “canal”, while rio’ terra means “filled-in canal”. Spring’s renowned Carnevale is celebrated in distinctive masquerade and commemorated with theatrical spectacles. The Biennale, the world’s most famous contemporary art show, draws an urbane, international crowd to Venice every other year.
