Veneto or Venetia can definitely be described as a home away from home. Situated in the northern portion of Italy and surrounded by the majestic Alpine mountains and rivers, Veneto has greatly developed throughout the years and has become of the most well-to-do regions in the country. In Veneto, people will never run out of things to do, as the place boasts of vibrant attractions – ranging from the surreal beauty of the canal city to the artistic heritage sites in Verona, Padua, and Vicenza.

Enamoring millions of travellers per year, Veneto tops the tourist industry in Europe. This is not surprising, as the popular city of Venice alone draws travelers who want to explore Italy on gondolas and profess their affections for their loved ones. The unique network of canal waters evident during the day and the beautiful lights of the city at night have made Venice one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites, together with other Venetian cities.

Another attraction in Veneto that is home to the alluring beauty of nature is Belluno. Here, tourists will be left in awe at the fantastic view of provincial structures against an afternoon backdrop of the white-peaked mountains. Among the must-go buildings in this side of Veneto are the famous bell tower and the striking Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi.

Needless to say, one cannot talk about an industrialized region without looking into the gastronomic delights it has to offer. Travelers would be glad to know that they can enjoy their favorite wines right in the heart of the region – Merlot and Pinot to name a few. For those with expensive tastes, fine wines like Bardolino and Amarone, are also available. After a sip of the finest drink, tourists can pamper themselves with yummy Venetian cheeses and Veneto’s very own aged salami, Sopressa Vicentina.
