Italy is a popular destination in the summertime. From the magnificent arts in Rome to the scenic Tuscan hills, Italy is not a very big country but its regions are very diverse. Thus, we (and our travel partners) suggest discovering it in small bites, taking time to experience all the things that make Italy a favorite destination for many of our travelers.

Laura Davis of JDB Hotels* recommends discovering Veneto, Italy on your next Italian vacation. In fact, she suggests that it should be seen in conjunction to Venice. Venice is the ultimate "romantic tourist city that is frozen in time." Veneto on the other hand, is "a cosmopolitan face of the new Europe," says Davis.

"No matter where you travel in Veneto, you will see the winged lion of St. mark, the symbol of Venice, reminding you that Veneto was once part of the Venetian Empire. The Veneto along with the other northern regions of Lombardia and Piemonte could qualify for membership of the G10 group of the world's richest nations. The Veneto region is the most diverse of all the regions of Italy making it fascinating to explore.

"Apart from the magical city of Venice, the Veneto has the soaring peaks of the Dolomites, arguably the most beautiful mountain range in Europe.

"The plains of the Veneto are where you will find cities like Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Abano, and Treviso. These cities are noted for outstanding architecture, churches, museums, and natural thermal waters which have been known for their curative powers since the Romans," Davis shares with us.
