Treviso

Treviso sits in the heart of the Veneto plain, 30 km north of Venice and 15 km from the Adriatic coast. With a population of about 85,000, it’s a city of medieval canals, frescoed churches, and Renaissance walls that rarely makes the standard tourist itinerary, which is exactly what makes it appealing. Unlike Venice, Treviso feels lived-in and local: the cafes in Piazza dei Signori are filled with residents, not tour groups. The canals actually have working water wheels. And the Prosecco Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are 30 km away. This Treviso travel guide covers everything you need to plan your visit: weather, best times to go, things to do, and where to stay.

Welcome to Treviso: What to Expect

Treviso’s historic center fits inside 16th-century Venetian walls that form a rough circle about 1 km across. You can walk from one end to the other in 15 minutes. The Sile River wraps around the southern edge, and several canals (called “rogge”) branch off through the city center, earning Treviso the nickname “Little Venice.” Unlike its more famous neighbor, Treviso’s canals have working water wheels and are lined with willow trees rather than palazzos. The city is the headquarters of Benetton and the home of radicchio rosso di Treviso (a protected IGP winter vegetable), tiramisu (disputed with nearby towns), and Prosecco (produced in the hills 30 km northwest).
