WHAT TO SEE IN TREVISO: WHAT TO SEE AND WHERE TO GO

Things to do in Treviso. It takes only about half an hour to go from Venice to Treviso.
Treviso is a small, beautiful, smart and romantic city.
It takes a day (or even less) to visit the city. The city will give you several reasons to continue your journey across the “marca gioiosa et amorosa” (“the joyful and amorous March of Treviso”), as a well-known 1200 AD definition of this territory says.

Venice summarizes its illustrious history in its Palaces and monuments overlooking the Grand Canal; Treviso, instead, hasn’t got a distinctive monument, but represents Veneto and its desire for looking optimistically into future.
In this post you will find a list of things to see in Treviso.

PALAZZO TE

Palazzo Te. One of the most pleasant experiences you might enjoy in Mantua is certainly a visit to the Palazzo Te.
In the post in which I talked about my journey to Mantua I touched upon that this place is actually one of the masterwork of the city.

Now it’s time for me to explain you the reason why it is so extraordinary and especially what you shouldn’t miss during your visit.

ITINERARIES IN MANTUA: THE PRINCE’S PATH

Itineraries in Mantua. Mantua is a pedestrian-friendly city, and you can easily reach everything you must see on foot, after a short walk, as I wrote in the post I dedicated to my journey to the 2016 Italian Capital of Culture.
There’s an itinerary that connects the two extremes of Mantua and which from the lakeside of the Lago di Mezzo (the Middle Lake) will bring you to the Te Palace, walking over the whole city and admiring its main palaces and monuments.

I walked along it and I suggest that you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to walk along the Prince’s path, because it will allow you to enter the very heart of Mantua.
