Yes, it is a pilgrimage city for architects, I agree with him.\uffc2\uffa0 Vicenza is created by architect Palladio, so it has a very uniform and harmonious look. Lots of beauty, lots. Several museums, but we managed to visit only one. We spent only one night there, so we saw the city in the evening glow and got the impression, but definitely have to come again. We slept in Michelle&#8217;s apartment in a convenient location going from the train station to the center. The room was on a very high floor &#8211; so the city and the surrounding hills were a fantastic view! It was called on the internet: B&amp;B Venere House, Viale Milano 37, 39338-5653600. The apartment was very large, you couldn&#8217;t feel that someone else lived there, the hostess served us breakfast, she spoke English and gave us some advises of what to see.\uffc2\uffa0 So I highly recommend to stay there. The house is seen on the right, the second tallest house:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4415\" src=\"\/impressions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/P1010271.jpg\" alt=\"P1010271\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/softblog.com\/impressions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/P1010271.jpg 600w, https:\/\/softblog.com\/impressions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/P1010271-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And here is what we saw that afternoon and the eve.
