Ideal destinations in Veneto



Veneto: what to know

Veneto offers beautiful landscapes for experiences in the city and within a few miles of major destinations. The region is not only famous for its wide variety of vegetation, from plains and coastline to hills and vineyards, lakes and mountains, but also for the diversity of local products and dishes, such as casunzei and prosecco.

What to do in Veneto

The most touristy area is Lake Garda from the Venetian shore, where you can find lake-view horseback riding, sunset boat tours on the lake, or a fun daytime Vespa tour of the Gardesana. Otherwise, Valpolicella and the Prosecco area in Valdobbiadene are typical areas to taste some of Italy's most important wines. For the more adventurous, in the winter time, Cortina d'Ampezzo and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are teeming with snowmobiles for fresh snow excursions with dinner at a mountain hut!

A special occasion in Veneto

The provinces of Verona, Treviso, Venice, and Padua, as well as the areas of Lake Garda, Valpolicella, Val di Cadore, and the Venetian Dolomites provide a suitable atmosphere for any type of occasion. Whether you are looking for a wine tasting or romantic picnic in Valpolicella, a peaceful horseback ride with friends or a fun quad bike ride with friends on Monte Grappa, Veneto is the right destination!
