Holiday apartment in Treviso: Art, the Sile and cycle paths

Treviso offers three strong starting points for planning your trip: art and history, the Sile’s waterscape, and several cycling routes. If you are planning a holiday apartment in Treviso, you can choose your preferred pace between culture, nature and exercise.

Art and history in the cityscape

Piazza dei Signori is the heart of Treviso. The Palazzo dei Trecento and the Loggia dei Cavalieri are located there. The historic Casa dei Carraresi-Brittoni complex was restored in 1987 and designated as a congress and exhibition centre by the Fondazione Cassamarca.

Treviso Cathedral’s Cappella Malchiostro contains frescoes by Giovanni Antonio de’ Sacchis (“il Pordenone”) as well as Titian’s altarpiece of the Annunciation. The Tesoro della Cattedrale is one of the most important collections of sacred goldsmith’s art in the Veneto. The Dominican Church of San Nicolò has a chapter house with frescoes by Tommaso da Modena.

The Museo Santa Caterina comprises an archaeological collection and a picture gallery, as well as the cycle depicting the Stories of Saint Ursula by Tommaso da Modena. The Museo Luigi Bailo presents 20th-century art. The Museo Diocesano di Treviso houses artefacts dating from the 4th to the 20th century AD; access to the crypt of Treviso Cathedral, which dates approximately from the 11th century, is possible from the Museo Diocesano di Treviso.

If you are planning cultural variety with children, the Gallerie delle Prigioni offers art education activities for children and guided tours for school groups. It is open on Fridays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Water and nature

The Sile flows through Treviso’s historic centre. Treviso belongs to the Special Protection Area “Fiume Sile: Sile Morto e ansa a S. Michele Vecchio”. Portico houses with fresco-decorated façades line the Canale dei Buranelli.

Cycle paths for different kinds of days

The L'Alzaia da Treviso route follows well-maintained paved or unpaved paths. The E4 GiraSile circular cycle route connects Treviso with Casale sul Sile and runs along the banks of the Sile; it begins at the Ponte della Gobba near Treviso’s historic centre.

Treviso lies on the regional I4 Dolomiti-Mare cycling tourism route, which is part of the Munich–Venice cycle route on some sections. The first, partially rideable section of the Treviso-Ostiglia begins in Treviso city centre and extends as far as Quinto di Treviso.

Regional tradition and accommodation

For Radicchio Rosso di Treviso IGP, a traditional forcing and blanching technique is applied after harvesting: the plants are immersed in spring-water basins for two weeks. If, when choosing your accommodation, you value art, riverside landscapes, cycle paths and a specific regional food, Treviso offers various starting points for this. You can tailor a holiday apartment in Treviso to your personal mix of sightseeing, exercise and enjoyment.
