Overview
Treviso has everything you could want from a mid-sized Veneto city: medieval city walls, lots of pretty canals, narrow cobbled streets and frescoed churches. Despite this, it receives few visitors, eclipsed by its more impressive neighbours. If you want to experience authentic Veneto life away from the tourist crowds, this is a great place to come.
