BASSANO AND SURROUNDINGS

The Old Town

The historic center of Bassano is considered one of the most beautiful in northern Italy. The River Brenta flows through it and the Ponte Vecchio, built entirely in wood from a design by Andrea Palladio, is a national monument. The city is more than 1000 years old and offers a lot to the visitor: churches, palaces, two museums and typical places to enjoy the evenings, as it is a particularly lively city in the late hours.

Marostica

The old town center and its famous square with a life-size chessboard, its castles, and still intact surrounding walls and chemin de ronde, is reminiscent of other great cities in Veneto.

Asolo

A charming medieval village nestled among the hills of Treviso. Two great women were in love with it: the actress Eleonora Duse, “la Divina", and the English writer and explorer Freya Stark. Both lived in Asolo and are buried in the cemetery of Sant’Anna.

Cittadella

Cittadella is the only walled city in Europe still having its fully elliptical, medieval walls. The walls can be enjoyed with a panoramic 15-meter-high walkway, a unique “walking in history” experience.

Mount Grappa

Monte Grappa is linked to the events of the two world wars as shown by the impressive monument built in memory of the tens of thousands of Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers who fell in battle on this mountain.
But Monte Grappa also offers breathtaking panoramas, culinary traditions, and places of absolute naturalistic and panoramic value.
