Vicenza Travel Guide

Andrea Palladio Architecture

If you plan to visit Vicenza and you enjoy architecture, read up a bit on Andrea Palladio (16th-century architect from Vicenza) before you go because you will hear the name quite often and see his work all over the Veneto region.

A good place to start is with a visit to the Palladio Museum, where you can learn about the architect and see examples of his work. 

  • Basilica Palladiana, is not actually a basilica or a church, it's a museum. Check out the rooftop bar from May through October, and enjoy an Aperol spritz.
  • The Villa Rotunda is one of the most important pieces of architecture of the last 500 years. Many buildings throughout history have mimicked the Villa Rotunda, so it may look familiar to you.
  • Teatro Olimpico is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its beauty and historical importance. It’s a 13th-century theatre that was redone by Palladio in the 16th century. If you can take a tour of the inside, do it! You can get tickets at the tourism office next door.

Other Places to Go in Vicenza

Vicenza is a small city in Italy, with a population of around 100,000 but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of things to do in Vicenza!

  • Pretty much every Italian town has a Duomo, and Vicenza is no exception. The Vicenza Cathedral was designed by Andrea Palladio and finished in the 1560s.
  • Vicenza has two sets of city walls: a Venetian wall and a medieval wall; you can’t walk on them, but you will see them as you walk around town.
  • Monte Berico is one of the hills surrounding Vicenza; Palladio built the steps leading to the top and those who venture up are rewarded with amazing views of the city from the top!
  • The Civic Art Gallery is another Vicenza attraction worth visiting, as the city’s art collection has been housed in The Palazzo Chiericati since 1855.
  • Corso Andrea Palladio is one of the main streets in Vicenza and a great place to wander and people-watch
  • If you’re visiting Vicenza on a Tuesday or Thursday, make sure you check out the market. You can buy souvenirs, food, and clothes at these markets, so it’s a great place to do some shopping and get a feel for the local culture.

Day Trips from Vicenza

Not only is Vicenza great to explore, but it’s also an excellent home base for exploring other destinations in the Veneto region.

  • Venice is less than an hour away
  • Padua, the University City, is 15-30 minutes from Vicenza
  • Verona, where you can see Juliet’s balcony, is less than an hour by train
  • Bassano del Grappa is the home of grappa, the Italian liqueur
