About
Ciudad veneciana famosa por su puente de madera cubierto y sus destilerías de grappa.
Bassano del Grappa is a city in the Veneto region of northern Italy, set on the River Brenta at the foot of the Alpine foothills. It is best known for two things: its covered wooden bridge and the grappa distilleries that give the town its name.
What to see
The covered wooden bridge is the city's most recognisable landmark. Crossing the Brenta on it is a simple pleasure, and the views of the river and the surrounding hills are a good reason to linger rather than hurry across.
Grappa and the town
- Grappa distilleries, the reason the city is widely known, which make a natural focus for anyone interested in the spirit.
- The historic centre, best explored on foot, with its streets and river setting.
- The Venetian character of the city, reflected in its name and its place within the Veneto region.
Because Bassano del Grappa sits within Veneto, it is easy to combine with visits to other towns and cities in the region. It suits a relaxed day trip or a longer stay for visitors who enjoy walking, local food and drink, and an unhurried pace.
