3. Marvel at the Prosecco Vineyards
Treviso is surrounded by surrounded by endless rows of hectares of vineyards that give birth to our beloved Glera grapes. A sea of green that expands as far as the eye can see, from the lagoon of Venice to the hills that become the gate to the Dolomite Alps. A territory where you will discover both charming villages and stately villas where you can enjoy local Prosecco tastings and plan a break from the hot Italian sun.
4. Delight in the Beauty of Verona
About 2 hours away by train from Treviso, the enchanting city of Verona awaits. Known as the setting of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” Verona is a treasure trove of history and culture. Explore the Roman Arena, wander through the charming streets, and visit Juliet’s balcony for a dose of romance. Verona’s elegance and authenticity are bound to leave an indelible mark on your journey.
5. Lago di Garda
Just 20 minutes outside Verona, you will find Italy’s largest lake, Lago di Garda. If you are lucky to be driving, take the road around the lake and visit Salò, Limone and Malcesine before stopping at Punta San Vigilio for what we believe is the best sunset you can experience anywhere. If you are travelling by train, Peschiera Sirmione and Desenzamo are great destinations for a day visit and to enjoy their many lake-side beaches.
