Palladian Villas

A visit to the Palladian villas in Vicenza can offer tremendous emotions

The city stands out as one of the places where architect Andrea Palladio was most active. His works enchant visitors and transport them back in time to the extraordinary and fruitful era of the Italian Renaissance. In the province of Vicenza alone, there are around ten villas scattered throughout the city and its immediate surroundings. Such a concentration could only lead to the development of tourism focused on art and the history of our country, with a wide range of guided tours that meet expectations.

VISITING OPTIONS

Guided walking tours of the Palladian villas

this is the classic visit, divided into short walking segments and short shuttle or bus rides from one villa to another. The reference website is www.villevenete.net. Excursions usually last a day and are offered during the beautiful season, roughly from April to October.

Guided boat tours of the Palladian villas

an interesting way to visit is by boat. Board the typical vessel called a "burchiello" and glide along the navigable canals surrounding cities such as Padua, Venice, and specifically Vicenza. In this case, you can browse the websites www.ilburchiello.it and www.battellidelbrenta.it for more information.

Self-guided tours of the Palladian villas

for those with a car, there is nothing stopping you from visiting the various villas scattered throughout the Veneto region on your own. In some cases, the villas are not open to the public, while in others, you can visit them after paying an entrance fee. The external gardens are an integral part of the villas and are especially beautiful in spring and summer.

"The beauty of architecture is a harmony that must arise from the relationship between all parts of the work."

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A VISIT TO THE PALLADIAN VILLAS

Most of the Palladian villas are equipped to receive tourists, both from Italy and other European countries. Therefore, there is no special requirement in terms of clothing or equipment, except for comfortable shoes and appropriate attire. It would be better to spend a few hours reading a book about Palladio or consulting a website like www.vicenza-unesco.com, which gathers all the Palladian villas in the right menu. And don't forget your camera! Enjoy your visit!
