The nobility of the Veneto
FIRST AND SECOND DAY
Venezia
'Venezia la Signora' is our first stop on our cultural tour.
Venice is the most loved city in all the world, unique for its beauty and magic in its suggestion.
1500 years of history moulded into a city which opens onto other worlds: here emotion is guaranteed.
Whoever sets foot here brings this city into their own heart and holds it forever. One can never tire of looking at Venice, because one lives Venice.

THIRD DAY
Riviera del Brenta
We move now into contact with another side of Venice, though possessed of equal emotion and rich in architectural wonders, though in a different setting: amid the green horizons of the Riviera del Brenta.
The Riviera del Brenta connects Padua with the lagoon of Venice by 36 km of beautiful and unique countryside: a landscape which depicts art and culture, nature and history, reaching from Stra to Fusina.

FOURTH AND FIFTH DAY
Padova
We arrive at Padua. In the world of cultural tourism of the Veneto the city of Padua, with its distinctive character contrasting with its 'older sisters' of Venice and Verona, occupies a significantly high position.
Every day the solemnity of its monuments merges with the cosmopolitan bustle of the market and the students. The University here is in fact one of the oldest in Europe, founded in 1222.

SIXTH DAY
Vicenza
Vicenza is an aesthetically perfect city, a priceless jewel among the crown of Venetian art. A humanist city and megalopolis of culture.
Our first leg takes us to the Palladian Palazzo Chiericati, which in addition to a magnificent display of the genius of the celebrated architect is also the home of the Museo Civico, with inestimable exhibits, evidence of an immense artistic heritage.
This takes us immediately on to the perspectival masterpiece of the architect, namely the Teatro Olimpico, itself the pinnacle of artistic scenic representation.

SEVENTH AND EIGHTH DAY
Verona
Verona is the principal land gateway to the Veneto, and is fortunate to lie at the intersection of a wide variety of environmental climates.
It is a concentrated blend of history and legend capable of leaving deep emotions in the heart and mind of the visitor.
