Piazza dei Signori - 1 kilometer from the bed & breakfast, the main square in the center of town is surrounded by numerous historic monuments. |

La Rotonda - Also known as Villa Capra, Palladio's masterpiece was the model for Jefferson's Monticello and the capital building in Washington D.C. |
|
Teatro Olimpico - Designed by Andrea Palladio but only completed after his death, Teatro Olimpico was the first indoor theater in the world. |
| Villa Valmarana - Just behind the B&B, the Villa of the dwarves has frescoes by father and son Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo. |
| Arco del Trionfo - Designed by Andrea Palladio, the steps leading up to the church offer nice views of downtown Vicenza. |
| Valle del Silenzio - Green area behind La Rotonda which makes for a nice picnic or hike up thru the woods to the Parco Guiccioli. |
| Santa Caterina - On the way to downtown Vicenza, the Oratorio di Santa Chiara dates back to the the 15th century. |

| Monte Berico - Overlooking Vicenza, the church has a wonderful painting by Paolo Veronese in the back room behind the courtyard. |
| Ponte San Michele - The stone bridge leading to the square is a scene from the past, and a romantic spot in the evenings. |
| La Basilica - Palladio's first major work, La Basilica with its arches forever revolutionized the way architects would think. |
| Santa Corona - Next to Teatro Olimpico, the altar of Santa Corona is a work of art, with inlaid marble figures and a long history. |
| Criptoportico - Just in front of the duomo and now completely underground, this Roman villa is the best preserved criptoportico in Italy. |
| Il Duomo - The facade of this Gothic cathedral is over 5 centuries old, built on the ruins of an 8th century basilica. |
| Porta Castello - One of the main gateways to the city, Porta Castello and its enormous tower stands at the top of Corso Palladio. |
| Giardini Salvi - Just past Porta Castello this quiet park and little stream is a great place to relax after touring, it houses La Loggia Valmarana. |
| Train Station - Right downtown with a beautiful park in front of it, the train station is just a 10 minute walk (1 kilometer) from the B&B. |
