Summary
Uncover the unseen gems of the breathtaking Veneto and beyond, from beautiful architecture, and cities steeped in history, to some of Italy's best wines.
Stepping back in time to Italy's Golden Age, we visit some of the country's most beautiful-yet-overlooked cities. visit Bassano del Grappa, nestled serenely in the foothills of the Venetian Prealps, to taste the famous grappa during a guided visit to the local artisan museum. Wander the streets of Vicenza, a site of pilgrimage to many architects with over 20 Palladian villas. Marvel at the opulence of one of Italy's most prominent families - the Gonzaga - on a visit to Mantua and visit the vast palazzo they once called home. Finally, explore Padua, famous as the setting for several Shakespeare plays and see the impressive Medieval frescos of the Scrovegni Chapel.
This holiday is ideal for solo travellers who've already visited Italy's most famous cities - Rome, Venice and Florence - and want to keep exploring this understandably popular country or those looking for a quieter slice of Italian life.

Venice is a city unlike any other. No matter how often you've seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you'll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif.
