“The Garden of Venice”—that’s how this little gem, the heart of the area known as the Marca Trevigiana, is often described.
But in the early 16th century, Treviso was also considered a fortress: enclosed by defensive walls and protected by an ingenious water system that controlled the flow of the cagnani (canals) running through the city center. These very waterways, so characteristic of Treviso, were even mentioned by Dante in his Divine Comedy during his exile here in the early 1300s.
Why not discover this jewel from a different perspective? Hop on a bike tour and explore the city’s most natural side, surrounded by greenery and tranquility.
Treviso has always had a deep connection with water, which is why it is often called the “little Venice.” The real guide of this journey is water itself: the River Sile above all, and the cagnani canals that embrace and cross Treviso. They lead us first into the heart of the historic center, along its streets and lively squares, then around the ancient walls, and finally into the outskirts—revealing their importance throughout history.
A flat, easy, and safe itinerary, perfect for everyone and to be enjoyed without hurry, ending of course with a typical Venetian-style aperitif.
Pedal, explore, and have fun together!
