Veneto is one of the most beautiful and fascinating areas in Italy.
It is well-known and famous for its great variety of landscapes,

It is situated in a strategic region in the north-east of Italy, and includes the majestic Dolomites
and the exciting seaside resorts on the Adriatic Sea.
The local people are very friendly and hospitable; they will always warmly welcome foreign visitors
and help them to fell at home.
Veneto offers tourists a wide choice of places to see, from breathtaking mountains, to sandy beaches,
passing through enchanting and verdant countryside, or the picturesque shores of
Lake Garda.
This is a region of incredible culture, history and art.
Tourists will undoubtedly enjoy the atmosphere and the magnificent buildings
of some of the most beautiful Italian cities and towns, such as famous
Venice,
the unique city on the water, romantic
Verona, town of Romeo and Juliet,
Vicenza, playground of the Neoclassical revival,
Padova, one of the most important university towns in the country,
and
Treviso, a little medieval town renowned for its red chicory and famous for being the city of Benetton.
Veneto offers a lot of traditional events too.
We can't forget the magic and impressive

where you can admire beautiful and precious masks, or the Redentore Festivity,
which ends with spectacular fireworks and will leave you in a state of amazement and wonder.

Foreign visitors should try the delightful cuisine of Veneto, characterized by
traditional and simple dishes, such as 'rice with peas', 'codfish of Vicenza',

All these savoury dishes can be accompanied by world-renowned wines,
