• I often travel to Northern Italy to see my family, and have visited many great towns in the area. • Instead of braving the crowds in Venice, I recommend traveling to Treviso. • I also love visiting places like Asolo, Valdobbiadene, Cittadella, Lake Garda, and Vicenza.

This part of Italy is a treasure trove of charming towns, historic cities, and picturesque landscapes that often go unnoticed, from medieval walled villages to hillside prosecco vineyards and serene lakeside escapes.
