CAMISANO VICENTINO, VICENZA PROINCE
Camisano is no longer the quite farm community with it's old square that hosted one of the largest markets in the area, every Sunday. Trendy subdivisions of housing have filled up much of the farmland, and a few small factories keep the main road busy. The town makes a great stop if you need something mid day. It is best to cross the town north to south and try to avoid riding on the main road unless it is during repose time.
GETTING TO CAMISANO VICENTINO
Regional bus or private transfer is the only way to get to the area without a personal car. If you wish to bike tour through the area you can do so following secondary roads and it is not a bad point to include into a Vicenza to Piazzola sul Brenta to Padova route.
LAGO DI FIMON TO COSTOZZA WALKING TOUR | VICENZA PROVINCE
Visiting Vicenza and want to escape the city for a day this is a nice walk though the Colli Berici. Starting at Lago di Fimon, stroll around the lake and then through the hills were Andrea Palladio mined most of the stone to create his buildings. Cross the hills which is also part of the Colli Berici Wine Zone (do not forget to stop and sample), pass through Lumignano and then on to Costozza, where you can have a glass of wine while you wait for the bus back to Vicenza.
