Padua to Treviso and Cortina d'Ampezzo: Private day trip

Treviso's international airport gives visitors the opportunity to explore Venice, the famous city on water, but Treviso is an underrated town waiting to be discovered. Rebuilt from nearly nothing after the second World War, there is still much to see and do in this town. Its maze-like streets, cobblestoned alleys, and arched walkways induce delight in every nook and cranny. While finding your way around, make sure to visit the former church turned museum: Museo di Santa Caterina. This museum has vivid colors, magnificent cloisters, and beautiful frescoes. If sipping bubbly is more your style, then I'm sure you already know that Treviso is known as the original homeland of Prosecco. Prosecco can be found everywhere and is ready for tasting in plenty of varieties. We suggest sampling a glass with some dessert tiramisu, as it’s often disputed that tiramisu was first created in Treviso. Confirmed or not, a trip to Italy isn't complete without a delectable treat and a glass of wine.

In recent history, Cortina has been rebuilding the Italian encampments of the first World War. Originally under Austrian rule but left defenseless, Italy and Austria battled it out for many years until the Italians conquered. The Alps ignored the imaginary lines of France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. But each country's set of Alps brings their own charm. Cortina d'Ampezzo makes its home in the Dolomites Alps and leaves visitors basking in its 120 km of natural beauty and year-round snow. Abundant in snow of various intensities, the Dolomites Alps have been home to the Women's World Cup and to Olympians all over the world. Hop on the free ski bus and venture through the mountains!
