The Northern Italian region Venetia divides into seven provinces, each with its own charm and characteristics.

Exploring the unique cultures and histories of Venetia's territories

The Provinces of Verona & Vicenza

Located in the west, Verona is the most visited province in Veneto. Its landscapes range from the Monte Baldo mountain massif to the scenic Lake Garda and the rolling vineyards of Valpolicella. The provincial capital, Verona, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and captivates visitors with its impressive monuments and historic charm. This is where the romance of Romeo and Juliet began. Every year, the world-famous opera festival in the Roman Arena di Verona attracts thousands of guests.

North of Verona, Vicenza impresses with the Renaissance architecture of Andrea Palladio, one of Italy’s most influential architects. His iconic style defines both the cityscape and the prestigious Venetian villas scattered across the region. The province features diverse landscapes, from the Monti Berici hills in the south to Monte Grappa near Bassano del Grappa, famous for its traditional Italian spirit, Grappa. The city of Vicenza was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 due to its harmonious blend of urban planning and architecture.

The Provinces of Belluno, Treviso & Padua

Nestled in the Dolomites, Belluno is the most mountainous province of Veneto. The charming alpine town of Cortina d’Ampezzo is a year-round destination, offering hiking and scenic cable car rides in summer and world-class skiing in winter. The region is also home to stunning lakes, including Lago di Misurina and Lago Santa Croce, which enhance its breathtaking alpine scenery.

Southwest of Belluno, Treviso is a province known for its historic canals and vibrant business scene, housing global brands like Benetton, Stefanel, and Replay. The charming capital, Treviso, is dotted with traditional Osterias, where visitors can enjoy Venetian cuisine. North of the city, the province is famous for magnificent Venetian villas, such as the Villa Barbaro, and the world-renowned Prosecco wine region, where endless vineyards create a stunning landscape.

Further south lies Padua, home to the Euganean Hills, a lush green area known for its thermal spa towns, including the famous Abano Terme, where spa traditions date back to Roman times. The provincial capital, Padua, is a lively university city filled with art, history, and religious landmarks, making it one of Italy’s most significant pilgrimage sites.

The Provinces of Venice & Rovigo

The Province of Venice, with its vast lagoons, is the cultural and historical heart of Veneto. The legendary city of Venice spans 118 islands and is famous for its historical landmarks, art, and world-class architecture. Along the coast, popular beach resorts such as Lido di Jesolo, Caorle, and Bibione attract sun-seekers. The Brenta Canal is lined with majestic Venetian villas, while the vibrant town of Portogruaro features an ancient Roman excavation site, Concordia Sagittaria.

South of Venice, Rovigo is a province of land and water, shaped by the sprawling Po Delta, Italy’s most important river system. Here, the Po River splits into six branches, creating a vast wetland habitat. The coastal town of Rosolina Mare is a key destination, particularly for visitors to the offshore Isola Albarella. The provincial capital, Rovigo, enchants with its charming old town and is home to one of Italy’s finest art galleries.
