What to do and see in Vicenza, Veneto: The Best Historic Walking Areas
Vicenza’s history dates back to pre-Roman times, but it’s a Renaissance figure, Andrea Palladio, with whom the city is most associated. One of the preeminent figures in Western architecture, Palladio built more than twenty buildings here, including the Basilica Palladiana, the Palazzo Chiericati (home to Vicenza’s museum and art gallery), the Teatro Olimpico (his last and some say greatest work) and many other palaces and villas, leading UNESCO to designate the city as a World Heritage Site.

The city of Vicenza has one of the nicest city centers in all of Italy. And, it’s Main Street is Corso Palladio. The city is a great size - not too big and not too small - and it has a very authentic vibe. Locals outnumber tourists by a wide margin contributing to this feeling. Corsi Palladio is lined with the beautiful architecture of Andrea Palladio. The city has a number of noteworthy sites to see - most of them located a short walk from Corso Palladio. This is definitely a city worth seeing, especially if you’re looking to avoid the crowds of Venice and Florence.
