    Treviso, the Elegant Little Sister of Venice

    The city on the programme today is the stronghold for gourmets and “bon vivants”. Look twice and then fall in love: Treviso, Venice's little sister, will become a favourite place of everyone who appreciates Italian flair, wide skies, and cities shaped by water. “City of waters”, Italians affectionately call Treviso, which is located 30 km from Venice and has a Venetian charm but with a slower pace of life. Along the banks of the river, there are avenues and parks. Here you can find some cosy cafés and restaurants, buy souvenirs, or simply picnic in the shade of the trees.
