Overview

  • Explore Treviso, the “Little Venice” of the Veneto, on a self-guided audio walk you can start whenever you like. Why did this city once throw a party with a fountain that flowed with wine?

    Starting at the medieval Loggia dei Cavalieri, follow canals and cobbled lanes through Piazza dei Signori to the Canale dei Buranelli, where houses rise straight from the water. Hear how Treviso grew from a Roman colony into a Venetian stronghold, admire the Venetian-style Palazzo Giacomelli and discover the local legend of Coccolo, before walking on to the Bastione San Paolo on the old city walls.

    In 75 minutes, you’ll see a city that has kept its authenticity beyond the tourist crowds.

    Highlights:

    • The quirky Fontana delle Tette, once filled with wine for city celebrations.
    • Canale dei Buranelli and the medieval mills of Ponte di San Francesco.
    • The Pescheria, Treviso’s fish market on an island in the canal.

Activity itinerary

The heart of medieval Treviso, framed by elegant porticoes and watched over by a 48-metre civic tower. Here stands the Palazzo dei Trecento, the 13th-century seat of the city’s Council of Three Hundred. Hear how power, politics and public life played out on this square for more than 800 years.
