Walking Tour of Vicenza and Palladian Landmarks
Start the walking tour at the Olympic Theatre, the architectural masterpiece of Andrea Palladio and the first indoor theatre in the world.
Stroll through the ancient town along the main street, Corso Palladio, and take charming little roads to visit the Church of Saint Corona, where you can admire the exceptional Baptism of Jesus Christ by Giovanni Bellini, as well as some of the most renowned Gothic palaces and Piazza dei Signori with the Basilica.
Finally, visit Palladio's first public building, recently restored and brought back to its original splendour, along with the Loggia of the Venetian Captain, Palladio's most famous attempt to use coloured architecture.
Later in the afternoon, take the Vicenza guide's suggestion of a short excursion to the two most illustrious villas in the area, Villa La Rotonda and Villa Valmarana ai Nani.
Travel back to your hotel after the tour.
