Veneto

Located in the northeast of Italy, the Veneto region boasts hills, plains, mountains, lakes, and an Adriatic coastline. Its famed cities include Venezia (Venice), Verona, and Padova (Padua). Meander through the land of prosecco and grappa, ogle the grandeur of Venetian architecture, and walk the streets Shakespeare set his plays in.
