Situated in Italy’s north-east, the Veneto region extends from the Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea. As part of the Republic of Venice, the area became a commercial superpower throughout the middle ages and Renaissance, which is reflected in one of the most iconic cities in the world, Venice.
A uniquely beautiful city, Venice has inspired many of the world’s greatest artists and writers, and is easily explored on foot or by boat. Another iconic city in Veneto is Verona, forever known as the fictional home of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, with their famous balcony taking centre stage in the city.
