General information

Veneto, Verona and the Dolomites bring together lagoon landscapes, historic cities, wine and some of Europe’s most beautiful mountains. Venice is a unique city on water, Verona is romantic and elegant, Padua learned and lively, while the Dolomites are dramatic and high Alpine. Key places include Venice, Murano, Burano, Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, the Prosecco Hills, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Val di Fassa and Tre Cime di Lavaredo.

Trips and nature

The region stretches from the Adriatic and its lagoons to the limestone peaks of the Dolomites. The Venetian lagoon is fragile and heavily visited, while the Dolomites are ideal for summer hikes, via ferratas, mountain huts and winter skiing. Spring and autumn are best for Venice and the cities, summer for the mountains, winter for skiing and a calmer atmosphere away from the lagoon.

Food and atmosphere

Venice is culturally exceptional thanks to St Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, canals, galleries and lagoon islands. Verona has its Roman arena and romantic image, Vicenza is linked to Palladio, and Padua to the Scrovegni Chapel. Food combines sea, mountains and wine: cicchetti, risotto, polenta, baccalà, tiramisu, Prosecco, cheeses and Dolomite specialities.

Transport and stay

Venice, Verona, Padua and Treviso are well connected by train. The Dolomites require more planning and often a car or a bus combination. The region is ideal for 5 to 10 days, romance, mountains, cities, wine and photography. In Venice, expect crowds and try to explore beyond the San Marco to Rialto axis.
