Parks and Nature in Veneto

Veneto’s landscapes span from the high-altitude Dolomite passes like Giau and Falzarego to the turquoise waters of Lake Sorapiss and Lake Garda. The region features historic botanical heritage at Padua’s UNESCO-listed Orto Botanico and the manicured estates of Villa Pisani and Villa Godi. In Venice and Verona, urban greenery includes the Giardini della Biennale, the neoclassical Royal Gardens, and the Renaissance Giardino Giusti. These spaces preserve centuries of landscape architecture, from Baroque hedge mazes to 19th-century English-style gardens.
