1. Places to Stay in Treviso:
Depending on how long you’re staying and how many people you’re travelling with you could also checkout AirBnB or VRBO. I always check out the reviews, then look at price and location. If you stay in the City Center in Treviso, it will all be walkable, so not to worry about that. I also like the travel sites, www.expedia.ca and www.hotels.com . Here are some suggestions all with great reviews!
- We stayed at the B&B Hotel Treviso, which is located at: Via Gabriele D’Annunzio 35, very close the Treviso Cathedral (4 mins walk). This is a very affordable Hotel, it was very clean, looked renovated, a good size, had a balcony and nice décor. We opted in for the breakfast as it didn’t add much to our bill, it was basic continental style, nothing extravagant, but filled us up. They have street parking, so we did have to pay extra for that, but wasn’t expensive and was close to the hotel.
- LEVELup, located at Piazza Angelo Giustinian Recanati 7-7/B, close to the train station, but still within the walled city. It’s within walking distance to the major sites, it’s a 6 mins walk to the Piazza dei Signori. They don’t have parking either, so it would also be street parking. The prices are reasonable here as well, and they had great reviews.
- Dimora del Teatro, located at Via Armando Diaz 3, a 4 mins walk to the Piazza dei Signori. Breakfast is included, only street parking available and great reviews! This place costs a little more than the first two, but still very reasonable.
- Castelmenardo 39, located at Via Castelmenardo 39, also a 4 mins walk to the Piazza dei Signori. Here they offer laundry service, breakfast and have street parking only. They also offer a shuttle service from all the major transportation hubs, the airports, train station and the ferry port, for a fee. It’s priced at approx. the same as #3.
- Leoni de Collalto Palace, located at Via Collalto 13, a few minutes’ walk to the Piazza dei Signori. On-site parking is available for a fee. This place is the most expensive on the list, but most have kitchens, free bike rentals, luggage storage and laundry facilities.
2. Places to Eat in Treviso:
We typically don’t make reservations, unless there’s an activity included with the food, like a Show or a food tour. We find that if you make reservations, it dictates the pace of your day. We like stopping when we’re hungry or when we see a place that piques our interest. That said, here are a few suggestions of what Treviso has to offer, some we enjoyed, some come highly recommend and some have great reviews! The local cuisine is delicious, so make sure you try something new! This is the best place to try Radicchio Risotto, with a glass of Prosecco and Tiramisu for dessert.
- Trattoria Toni del Spin. It’s located at Via Inferiore 7, behind the Piazza dei Signori. It’s open every day from 12:15pm to 2:30pm and 7:15 to 10:30pm except Mondays it’s only open for dinner. They have a pretty terrace here, a wine room and tearoom. Open since 1880, this is one of the few remaining traditional trattorias left in the historic centre. Vegetarian options available.
- Ristorante da Pino. It’s open 12:00pm to 2:30pm and 6:30pm to 10:30pm every day, but Friday and Saturday it’s open until 11:00pm. Located at Piazza dei Signori 23, right in the main square. They have been open since 1972, are family-friendly and offer Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten free options. They have great outdoor seating right in the main square, a perfect place to people watch with a glass of Prosecco and soak in a little bit of Italy!
- Ristorante Antico Morer. It’s open from 12:00 to 2:30pm and 7:30pm to 10:30pm every day, but Sunday it’s only open for lunch and Monday’s it closed. Located at Via Jacopo Riccati 28, north of the Treviso Duomo. This is a great place for seafood, as they shop at the local fish market. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.
- Le Beccherie. It’s open from 12:20pm to 2:15pm and 7:20pm to 10:15pm every day, but Wednesday it’s only open during the supper hours and Tuesdays it’s closed. It’s located at Piazza G. Ancilloto 9, behind the main square. This restaruants claim to fame is that Tiramisu originated here, or as they call it Tiramesu de Le Beccherie. The recipe had been experimented with for years, then first appeared on the menu in 1972, this is one of Italians most famous dishes, a definite must try within Treviso, but having it here would be extra special.
- Bar Beltrame. It’s open from 8:30am to 11:00pm, except Saturdays it’s open until 12:00am and is closed on Thursdays. It’s located in the Piazza dei Signori, main square under the Palazzo dei Trecento portico, such a great location, especially if it’s raining. We ate here on our very first night in Italy, very memorable atmosphere!! Great for Happy Hour!
The next few are some bakeries that we tried or wished we did!
- Camelia Bakery. It’s open from 8:00am to 7:00pm, located at Via Palestro 30, near the Fish Market. Great for some sweet treats like, pastries, cupcakes, croissants and tiramisu as well as coffee and tea. They have a great atmosphere too, so pop by for breakfast or a treat while exploring this beautiful city.
- I Sapori del Grano. It’s open from 7:00am to 7:30pm daily, except for Sunday, it’s open 9:00am to 1:00pm. Located at Viale Bartolomeo Burchiellati 60, in the north/east part of the historic center. They offer amazing breads, pizzas, sweets and coffee and teas.
8. Forno Palomba. It’s open every day from 7:15am to 3:00pm except it’s closed on Sunday. It’s located at Via Daniele Manin 60, a few minutes’ walk from the main square. We had our lunch hear, some large, delicious sandwiches, before leaving town on our way up to the dolomites!
3. Treviso’s Claim to Fame:
There are 3 things that Treviso claims originated here, Tiramisu, the delicious and famous Italian dessert, the production of Prosecco wine, Italy’s version of Champagne and Radicchio, a leafy vegetable that is often used in Italian cuisine. When you visit Treviso, try the Radicchio Risotto, it’s served in several restaurants around the city. Make sure to find an interesting Piazza to people watch and sip some Prosecco!
4. A Few helpful Recommendations:
- Parking:
Make sure you read all the parking signs to make sure you’re allowed to park in the spot you’ve chosen, also because some spots or lots could be free on certain days or times, so it’s worth looking. Most spots have a number associated to them either in front of the spot or painted on the ground, you will need to enter this number and your license plate into the parking meter in order to pay. (That took us a little while to figure out, Lol).
- Phone service:
When travelling in Europe we use Hippocket wifi. They are based in France, but you can simply order it online and they mail it to you 3 days before you leave for your trip. It comes with a small carrying case, charger, including a car charger if needed and a self-addressed return mailing envelope. The great thing about this is that if you are traveling with other people, you can all use it and share in the cost. You can have up to 10 users at the same time. If you have multiple users, I recommend getting the unlimited option, as the 1GB/day option may not be enough. The unlimited works out to be approximately 8.00 to 9.00 euros per day, including all shipping. It’s a great option.
- Start your off Day Early:
Start your day off early, this will always be my suggestion! When I say early, I’m talking 6:30/7:00am, but I know that’s not for everyone, so just get started as early as you can and always keep in mind open/closing hours and open/closing days for the attractions that you really want to see. If there is something you really want a photo of without people in the shot, start there! For more information on the advantages of get up early, check out our post “Three Significant Reasons to Get Up Early, while Travelling”.
- Speaking the Language:
For some people speaking different languages comes easy and for some, it does not, I’m the latter. Although it’s not easy, I always make an effort to learn at least the pleasantries when I’m travelling. It’s one of my many favourite things! I also carry a language pocketbook with me, and I have google translate on my phone! I also like the free language app, Duolingo!
**All pricing, opening/closing hours and days listed here are as of March 2025 and are subject to change, so be sure to check before you go. I like these websites: Italia.it/en or visittreviso.it/en for all your current information.
5. Our Fav Photo from our time in Treviso:
Choosing our favourite photo from our travels to Treviso was difficult as usual, but I knew it was going to be one we had taken of the Canale dei Buranelli. This area is so picturesque, there was no doubt in our minds that we were going to love these photos. Talk about being giddy, we use that word a lot when it comes to our fav photo, but it’s that feeling you get when you see something either unexpected our something you’ve been researching and can’t believe you’re actually there looking at it. This canal was more beautiful than we were expecting, and we started farther up then the directions had mentioned. So, when we came upon the canal, yes, we were giddy! If you read our post “1-Day Itinerary for Treviso, Italy – An easy Daytrip from Venice” we give you the address to put into maps so you can start your walk along the canal where we did, it’s a beautiful spot. We choose this photo in particular because of the colour of the buildings, their reflections in the water, the porticos, (that we had just walked through), I love the little balcony on the bottom left with the little ceramic duck and the willow tree in the background. When I took the photo, I tried to frame it so you could see as much detail as possible, I wanted to see the buildings on both sides, to show the size of the canal, I wanted to see the portico we had just walked through and have points of interest in the background. The only edits I did was to play around a little with the colour and brightness, I wanted to deepen it just a smidge. We hope this place makes you giddy too!

7. The Wrap up:
All this information, research and suggestions came from our own experiences we had while exploring this beautiful and unique hidden gem of a city, called Treviso. As well, we spent countless hours reading travel books, like DK Eyewitness, Italy and DK Eyewitness Venice and the Veneto, DK Eyewitness Back Roads, Northern and Central Italy, I also enjoyed Lonely Planet’s Fast Talk Italian Phrase Book. These books gave me some great insights into the areas around Treviso as well. I read multiple Travel blogs and Treviso tourism websites like, visittreviso.it/en and italia.it/en. Some of the places mentioned above we enjoyed ourselves, others were recommended to us and some we researched, reading reviews and checking out their locations. We hope you find this helpful!
