The Veneto region is located in the north east of Italy.
Veneto borders Emilia-Romagna to the south, Lombardy to the west, Trentino-Alto Adige to the northwest, Austria to the north, The Adriatic Sea to the east and Friuli Venezia Giulia to the northeast.
The main city of the region is Venice.
The Doges’ city is one of the world’s unique sites; a city built in the water, with a rich artistic heritage and world renowned for its carnival. The best way to experience the carnival atmosphere and the city built on water is to rent your own Venice holiday apartment to give you the freedom of the city and not be restricted by hotels. 

With a surface of 18264 km2 (shall I convert it in miles maybe?), Veneto region can be divided into four areas: the southern lower plain where many rivers flow such as the Adige, the Brenta (the Brenta valley is well known for its Brenner pass, an important crossing point into Austria) the Piave and the Po’ river which flow into the Adriatic Sea along a delta of 100 km towards the Adriatic coast. The well known Lake Garda is located in the West. The most important geographical aspect is, without any doubt, the Venice lagoon.
The Northern Alpine Zone has the principal elevations such as the Asagio Plateau and the Dolomites where the Marmolada glacier is located. Veneto has a lagoon and a low coastline.
The region is formed by 581 towns and has more than 4.5 million inhabitants with a population density of 246 inhabitants/ km2.

To speak about the Veneto region is to speak mostly about Venice. Even now the city still conserves its glorious past, from Piazza San Marco to The Doge’s Palace, via the Jewish Ghetto and the Rialto bridge.
However, Venice is not all that Veneto has to offer. Many of the other cities that surround Venice are beautiful and rich in historical heritage: Verona (made famous by Shakespeare as the site of the dispute between the Montagues and the Capulets in his tragedy, Romeo and Juliet) with its Roman Arena, its ancient houses and museums; Padua with its precious architecture, its historical monuments and its incomparable cuisine; Vicenza the proud home of the architect Andrea Palladio who created a new style, the Palladianism, which he utilized throughout the building of the city and which influenced the architecture of the entire world.
