Vé di động
Immerse yourself in 16th-century Vicenza, when the most influential architect in history transformed its face and the very way of conceiving architecture.
The Palladian Villa Owners Network has designed and refined this experience, reflecting our vision of heritage tourism: when we go on vacation, we ourselves love freedom, yet we need a range of quality services to fully appreciate the place.
In general, amidst the current flood of information available, we always seek quality over quantity. Obviously, also seeking the opportunity for a friendly approach and a pleasant human and cultural exchange.
Vicenza will thus present itself to you at its full splendor, like a unique gem in every corner.
In the "inclusions" section (please read it), you can see our meticulous attention to detail and the reasons why this is absolutely considered the first experience in Vicenza.
The tour concludes with a little but exclusive palladian surprise.
Looking forward to helping you appreciate our beautiful city!

Palazzo Valmarana Braga
ALWAYS INCLUDED. You will be welcomed in one of the architect's most beautiful palaces, Palazzo Valmarana Braga. You will be able to contemplate the most extraordinary facade of a Palladian palace, the precious Renaissance fresco with its cosmology on the ceiling of the Count's studio, the ideal reconstruction of what the Empress of Austria saw in her visit to these places and revive the history of the spread of Palladianism in the ancient emporium of the textiles. The exclusive visit to Palazzo Valmarana Braga is always included among the 6 of your basic tour. If you wish to visit all the attractions described, consult the Adult Plus rate. For children, young people and students up to 25 years of age, the rate remains the same.
Vicenza
ALWAYS INCLUDED. We'll accompany you in a walking guided tour through the historical center of Vicenza, making you immerse deep into our Golden Age, the one that generated those new and ancient architectures - at the same time - that all the world comes here to admire. Thanks to our passionate knowledge, you will discover that our Unesco Heritage is not only the fruit of a genial architect, the most influential of history, but the one of an entire enlightened society, that aimed to build its own ideal scenography where to live in. During the walk we'll pass by different places that you will be able to visit inside later by yourself (see the next points), with the information useful to contextualize them and seize the essence. During the walk you'll get also the logistic information, useful to organize and enjoy the most the day.

Englightening and Fun - Vicenza is a gem and Palladio a genius!

5.00This is an exceptional experience, given to us by a qualified architect and brilliant historian Manuel. It is best if you understand from the start that the experience is comprised of a comprehensive tailor-made thoughtful package and after the first hour you are more or less independent/on your own but Manuel (and colleagues) are available for questions on WhatsApp or at the headquarters: (1) first hour: intro by Manuel to the architect Palladio in a stunning Palladian headquarters/building dedicated to the works and substantial influence of Palladio including a walking tour nearby of several Palladian buildings. There is a great gift shop on site with mostly locally made Palladian inspired gifts. I bought 5 gorgeous scarves of Palladian buildings made by a woman in Lake Como; (2) tickets to nearly all city museums including a surprisingly cool Palladian covered/indoor ampitheatre; (3) high quality electric rental bikes available at the headquarters; and (4) exclusive entry, for us on a day it was closed to the public, to La Rotonda, a Palladian masterpiece villa just outside of Vicenza city center and accessible on the bikes (or by bus or taxi). Other villas are also included. While you are on the bikes, we also strongly recommend visiting nearby (1) Monte Berico Basilica which includes a gorgeous Veronese painting (have to ask to see it in a separate room in the back of the church), (2) Valmarana Villa (not Palladian but stunning) full of wonderful remarkable Tiepolo (father and son) frescoes on every wall of 2 buildings and (3) Museo del forze Armate 1914-45 which closed at 4 pm so we missed it (and can't vouch for it) but it's very near (1) and (2) and La Rotonda. All in all a super memorable day and we highly recommend this unique touristic approach.

5.00If you are looking for an immersive, historical experience in Vicenza, you have come to the right place. Manuel gave us a wonderful, contemplative tour of the Vicenza historic district setting the stage for visiting the museums and cathedrals. We road ebikes to Villa La Rotonda and the Valmarana Palace. Unfortunately we only had one day and quickly realized we should have booked a longer stay and had time to explore this truly incredible city.
A wonderful way to experience Palladio

5.00We were lucky enough to meet Manuel by chance entering the Palladian Classic venue. Since our entry he has been extremely friendly and competent in giving us some information, so after a short negotiation he agreed to be our guide for a three-hour tour. I was with a friend of mine and for both of us it was the first time in Vicenza, Manuel made us understand the deep essence of the city and the region giving us historical, cultural, anthropological and folklore information making our short stay in the city unforgettable. Highly recommended for everyone, especially those who want to go "Beyond" Grazie Manuel

5.00Quite simply, the best tour I have ever taken. Manuel taught us to think about not only Palladio but our own times. Highly recommend!
Expensive 45 minute guided tour

2.00I very rarely write bad reviews, however it is very important that people understand what they are getting before booking this tour. The day started on a bad note given Manuel had forgotten that he had booked our tour. After calling to remind him, he did come within half an hour. Mistakes happen so we accepted his apology and continued with the tour as planned. We booked this tour directly through the Palladian Routes website at a cost of 319 Euros for our family of four on the understanding that this was a 5-8 hour duration tour commencing at 9:30am and finishing at 5:30pm including all the sights listed. It is actually a 45 minute guided walking tour of the external facades of the Palladian buildings in Vicenza. You are then handed a map and a Vicenza museum pass to self guide around the sights of Vicenza completely independently. I understand that you can be given e-bikes to cycle yourself up to Villa Rotonda to tour the Villa. We felt the cost of this tour was excessive for a 45 minute guided tour despite the expertise of the guide. It represents poor value. I’d suggest avoiding the cost and to purchase the 26 Euro Vicenza museum family pass. It’s self guided in any case.
It was a good...

5.00Complete knowledge of the works of palladium. Piazza dei Signori with the basilica of palladio, villa the roundabout just outside the city, corso palladio but above all is the Olympic theater, alone is worth the trip
Awesome tour!

5.00Excellent tour. We were worried because it was raining, but Manuele did not cancel on us and we still had a great time. I recommend it if you are interested in Vicenza or architecture.
Much more than seeing Palladian buildings

5.00This tour was much more than just looking at the beautiful buildings of Palladio. I most enjoyed our guide Manuel's walking tour where he provided a comprehensive overview of the social, economic, and political forces that shaped Vicenza and Palladio's place in creating it. His knowledge and passion on the subject made this portion one of the highlights of the day. The other highlight was touring the masterpiece that is the Villa Rotunda. As an architect, this was a place I most wanted to experience. My only regret was that I went there on a day trip and did not provide myself sufficient time to fully experience the Villa before I had to leave. If you decided to go, please be advised that the Villa is closed from noon until 3:00 in the afternoon and plan accordingly. Vicenza is a beautiful city, and the tour was well worth it.
