Treviso is a charming and lovely city, unique because of its warm hospitality, amazing historical points of interests and an incredible territory called “Marca of Treviso”.
The downtown welcomes you with its coloured medieval streets, lined by porticos and palaces, many of them with original frescoes (one of the most beautiful urbs picta of Italy).
People in Treviso enjoy walking along the Restera admiring the beautiful surroundings and the fascinating Sile River which has been mentioned in the Divine Comedy by Dante.
The Sile River runs through the town and here flora and fauna are constantly changing with the seasons, you can follow its path for many kilometres on foot, cycling or running. To the north as well as to the south, the river can be pleasantly explored among nature reserves, old mills, aristocratic villas and local restaurants.
Numerous are the local products, from the well-known Radicchio Rosso to the Tiramisù dessert, that are the ingredients of the many delicious dishes served in the most typical Trevisan restaurants.
