Plan your visit to Treviso

Home >  Venice Shopping >  Treviso >

Does the city Treviso sound familiar? Some European low budget carriers will arrive at Treviso Airport. Maybe that’s why you know Treviso...

Big chance you have used this airport city as a hub to Venice. 

But its a city which you can efficiently use for sightseeing and shopping! Beautiful squares, palaces from the Renaissance, painted churches and old waterways. 

The town is not a second Venice. It doesn’t have Grand Canal or a St. Marks square. The city doesn’t have mass tourism and nog high rates for food, shopping, and hotels. But, these are the better things, right?  

From the Airport ‘Treviso-Sant ‘Angelo (TSF) most of the travelers are going straight by bus, taxi or take a train to Venice. Tourist ignores the hopeful promotional invitation around the airport to visit their city… Treviso is an enjoyable visit without the hassle and bustle of Venice. 

Why a visit to Treviso?

Downtown Treviso is a tiny city with middle-aged walls, gates, and streets. These are impressive sights! But the city has more.

It is the home of the international fashion brand ‘Benetton, ‘Lotto Sports Italia’ and cycle specialist ‘Pinarello.’ So famous because here is the origin of the Prosecco wine and the local desert ‘Tiramisu.’ 

It is cozy with different sights and favorable for a day out. It is a relaxed getaway for a day out when you are staying in Venice on a hot summer day. 

The city is an excellent place with cafés and restaurants to taste and absorb the local dishes and Prosecco!

I know, the city cannot compete with Venice itself, but it is beautiful. It is the primary capital of the province, and it has around 80.000 inhabitants.

The most important museum in town is the ‘Museo di Santa Caterina.’ This former ministry building is now turned in to an art gallery and an archaeological collection.
