Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide In the shadow of Venice, we visit three great cities in the Veneto area. Padova is famed for its venerable university, precious Giotto frescoes, and pilgrim-packed basilica. Verona is a hit with aficionados of Roman ruins and Romeo and Juliet fans. And Ravenna, with its shimmering mosaics, was once the western bastion of the Byzantine Empire. We enliven each stop with a tasty dose of Italian dolce vita

Thank you Rick for this fabulous overview of my region!
I'd like to share other places that it is worth visiting in Veneto:
- Treviso, a very charming town 15 miles far from Venice; it has a beautiful historical center and flowing water canals quite similar to Venice. It is also the best place to drink good prosecco.
- Riviera del Brenta: the Brenta river was a very important connection between Padua and Venice in old time and along the riverside lot of beautiful noble venetian villas were built.
It is possible to enjoy this place by a boat tour.
- Vicenza the city where the famous architect Andrea Palladio worked: the teatro Olimpico is one of his most representative masterpiece
- Este, Montagnana and Cittadella are three little towns famous for their well preserved medieval city walls
- Asolo a medieval hill town.
From the tower of the medieval fortress it is possible to appreciate a fantastic view of the hilly landscape that characterize this part of Veneto.
- Belluno, Feltre and Bassano del Grappa, another historical towns placed in the mountain region of Veneto near the Dolomites; Bassano del Grappa is also known for grappa: the tipical liquor of Veneto

The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;
