Abano and the Euganean Hills

Located at the foot of the Euganean Hills, it is the most important and famous spa resort in Europe, renowned since the time of Imperial Rome, whose ancient remains can still be admired today.

It is a people-friendly town featuring large green spaces such as the Urban Thermal Park and the historic Montirone Gardens, as well as a large pedestrian area that is a bustling meeting place for aperitifs, events and shopping. Those who love Art must not miss a visit to the Museo Internazionale della Maschera "Amleto e Donato Sartori" (Amleto and Donato Sartori International Mask Museum), the Museo di Villa Bassi Rathgeb (Villa Bassi Rathgeb Museum), the brand-new Museo del Termalismo (Museum of ancient thermal waters) and Villa Draghi in nearby Montegrotto.

We suggest you explore the gentle slopes of the Euganean Hills, which reveal breathtaking views, medieval villages such as Arquà Petrarca, walled towns including Monselice, Este and Montagnana, churches, hermitages and abbeys, as well as majestic Venetian villas such as Villa dei Vescovi, the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio and Villa Selvatico.

A region is mainly appreciated for its flavours and fragrances: stop to visit wine cellars, oil mills and holiday farms, and discover renowned local DOC and DOCG wines, traditional rustic dishes of the Veneto region, jams and typical products.
