It is a city to be visited walking unhurriedly, to savour every nook and cranny, to discover unexpected glimpses, to breathe in the quiet city life.

The famous Piazza dei Signori with the Palazzo dei Trecento and the elegant Loggia Dei Cavalieri is its beating heart.

However, Treviso is also a city between two rivers, the Sile and the Cagnan, which sinuously flow through its streets, giving a special charm to the historic centre bordered by ancient walls.

Treviso’s urban history is strongly linked to water: the frescoed façades of the palaces reflected in the Buranelli canal and the Isola della Pescheria, created in the Cagnan river to house the fish market, tell a good story of this ancient link.

Definitely worth a visit is the Cathedral, characterised by seven copper domes, with Titian’s Annunciation inside, and the Dominican church of San Nicolò, with its famous Chapter Hall frescoed by Tommaso da Modena.

For art lovers, the appointment is also in the Casa dei Cararresi, which has become a venue for prestigious exhibitions in recent years.

Treviso is the slow pace of a lady among the glittering shop windows of the city centre or on the cobblestones worn away by time and history, but it is also finding oneself seated in an osteria savouring unique, timeless flavours.

Eating in Treviso

The Radicchio rosso di Treviso is undoubtedly the star of the table: it is used in various ways, excellent in risotto.
Typical dishes include sausage (‘luganega’), rice with peas (‘risi e bisi’) and pigeon soup (‘sopa coada’).
The area’s fine DOC wines should not be overlooked, among them the famous Prosecco.
