Bassano del Grappa

Bassano del Grappa lies in the heart of the Veneto region of Italy, once the cradle of the renowned Venetian Republic. Regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in all of Italy, memories of your visit will stay with you for a lifetime. Bassano del Grappa is most famous for it's unique old wooden pontoon bridge that spans the river Brenta. Dating back to 1569, the bridge is revered by the Italian alpine soldiers that flock to the village to remember and sing songs. Bassano's other great 'landmark' is its Grappa liquer, a fragrant grape-based pomace brandy that is served as a 'digestivo' or after-dinner drink. You'll enjoy excursions to both romantic Venice and beautiful Verona, two of the most picturesque and historic cities in Northern Italy. Who could possibly resist a gondola ride down the grand canal?
