Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: flip this switch on and Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- turn it off again any time, or reveal the real photo for just one place at a time from its own page.

Create a free account to pick your own style (Vintage, Oil Painting, Illustration, and more) and have it remembered next time you visit.

Vicenza's sights divide cleanly in two. Inside the walls, Palladio's public buildings line a single street: the Teatro Olimpico at the north-east end of Corso Andrea Palladio, the Basilica Palladiana and Piazza dei Signori halfway along, Palazzo Chiericati near the theatre. Outside them, on the hillside to the south, sit the villas -- La Rotonda and Villa Valmarana ai Nani within a few minutes' walk of each other -- and the pilgrimage church on Monte Berico above.
