Treviso

This Italian city often sits in the shadow of the neighbouring tourist attraction of Venice, but it is also a fantastic place to visit in its own right. The poets gave the city the title 'città cortese' - courteous city - and its tranquility and beauty is reflected in Treviso's character today. Take advantage of the fact that the city centre is mostly closed to traffic, and wander on foot around the maze of streets and waterways, spotting the alfresco paintings on the building facades. Enjoy a glass of grappa, the traditional Italian bitter liqueur, and eat some Tiramisu in one of the many autherntic local restaurants. Those with a desire for adventure should take a trip to the peaks of Grappa and Montello, where you can try your hand at paragliding or hand-gliding.
