What is Veneto known for? 7 things that make Veneto so special<\/h4> \t

Say “Northern Italy<\/strong>“, and most people picture the same things: canals, mountains, a good glass of prosecco. Say “Veneto<\/strong>“, the region where all of that comes together, and you’ll often get a slightly blank look. That’s the odd thing about this region: almost everyone knows the individual parts, but almost no one can point to Veneto itself on a map.<\/p>\n

Venice, prosecco, the Dolomites:<\/strong> it’s all Veneto<\/strong>. Here are seven things that make this region so special, and that you can now file under one single name.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

1. The Dolomites: mountains that steal the skyline<\/h2> \t

Start with the landscape, because that’s what sets Veneto apart from the rest of Northern Italy. The Dolomites<\/strong>, with their jagged peaks and pink glow at sunset, have been on the UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> list since 2009. This is a popular hiking destination<\/strong>. If you’d like to do a multi-day trek and want to make sure your huts are booked, we recommend doing so through a trail organization<\/strong> such as The Dolomiti Trail<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

2. Prosecco & Valdobbiadene: Veneto’s bubbles<\/h2> \t

No conversation about Veneto<\/strong> gets very far without a glass of prosecco<\/strong> turning up. The best of it comes from the hills around Valdobbiadene and Conegliano<\/strong>, where the Glera grape grows on steep, hand-worked slopes. This area, the Prosecco Superiore<\/strong> zone, is also UNESCO<\/strong>-listed. Touring these hills on two wheels<\/a>, with a wine tasting\u00a0 along the way, is one of the best ways to see the region up close.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

3. Venice: the city of canals<\/h2> \t

Built across more than a hundred small islands in a lagoon<\/strong>, Venice is the city that gave the whole region its name. There are no streets for cars here, only canals, bridges and narrow alleyways. St Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace<\/strong> and, of course, a ride on a gondola<\/strong> are all essential. From the Prosecco hills, Venice<\/strong> makes for a natural day trip to add before or after your Vespa journey.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

4. Verona: the city of Romeo & Juliet<\/h2> \t

Verona breathes romance, and that’s no accident: Shakespeare chose this city as the setting for Romeo and Juliet<\/strong>. Tourists flock to the balcony of Casa di Giulietta (Juliet’s House)<\/strong>, even though the connection to the story is largely legend. Just as impressive is the Arena di Verona<\/strong>, a first-century Roman amphitheatre still used today for opera performances under the stars.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

5. Treviso: little Venice (and the birthplace of tiramisu)<\/h2> \t

Treviso is often called “Little Venice<\/strong>“, and that’s no exaggeration: canals run straight through its historic centre here too, just without the crowds of the big city. What many people don’t know: tiramisu was invented here<\/strong>. Restaurant Le Beccherie, still open on Piazza Ancilotto, put the dessert on the menu for the first time in 1972.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
