Veneto By Car
Explore the Veneto region by car. Verona provided the setting for
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Padua is famous for the Giotto
frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel and the relics of St. Anthony. Using
Verona and Padua as your Veneto bases, drive along the Brenta
River to admire the beautiful villas built along the canal by architect
Palladio. Visit the charming town of Vicenza, home town of Palladio,
to see more of his creations including the Villa La Rotonda,
one of the most copied examples of architecture around the world.
Don’t miss the town of Treviso, “little Venice”, known for the first
production of prosecco wine and where the dessert “Tiramisu” was
first created.
