Major Cities of Veneto

Latest page update: 6 March 2025

By: Dion Protani

The list of major cities of Veneto includes the region's seven provincial capitals. The capital of Veneto is Venice, the city built on the sea which became a maritime republic, while ancient Verona became the City of Love after Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

The city of Padua (Padova in Italian) is home to a remarkable piazza called Prato della Valle which is just a short walk from the world's oldest Botanical Garden.

The city of Vicenza dazzles with its Palladian architecture while medieval Treviso offers canals and bustling marketplaces.

Rovigo is steeped in history with the ruins of its 10th century castle just one trace of the past while Belluno is the gateway to the Dolomites; two beautiful piazzas and a cathedral being its highlights.
