About Vicenza
Vicenza is a city you read in stone: Andrea Palladio's palaces and the Basilica Palladiana line its centre, and Tiepolo's frescoes survive just outside it. For a first, focused encounter, the Palladian Classic Vicenza: Your Premier Renaissance Experience distils the Renaissance core in about an hour, while the Vicenza Small-Group Walking Tour: Palladian Masterpieces & Hidden Gems stretches the story over two and a half hours with room for the lesser-known corners.

Frequently asked questions
Vicenza's historic centre is essentially a Palladian showcase, so the strongest tours are built around architecture and art rather than general sightseeing. Expect close reading of palaces and the Basilica Palladiana, and options such as the Tiepolo frescoes at Villa Valmarana ai Nani for those who want painting as well as buildings.
