We'll visit the typical local market with its lively and colourful atmosphere, hanging around the stalls of fresh fruit and vegetable. From a taste of bacalà (our traditional food made with dried stockfish and olive oil) and the Basilica of Palladio we'll have a delicious lunch prepared in one of the most ancient "ostaria" (Bistrot), finishing on demand with the visit of the Olympic Theatre of Palladio. Spend half a day in Vicenza like a real vicentino, eating in our everyday Bistrot being surrounded by the Palladian art!
