My sister and her friend visited here last weekend. On their website, ticket was written as 10€ (not tour one) and without reservation on the weekends. At the door, they claimed first it was closed for public that day. But after we said it was written open on their website, they sold the ticket for 15€… The villa was magnificent though!

This place has fairly limited visiting hours so check the website beforehand. To avoid crowds, start lining up outside the gate 10-15mins before opening times, and you'll be able to sneak in a few photos for yourself before tour groups start showing up around 10:30. You can visit all around the building as well as the interior of the main floor, which contrasts with the purity of the exterior.

Amazing architecture and art in the interior, definitely a must see when visiting Vicenza.

Andrea Palladio's most famous Venetian villa did not disappoint. Built as a country residence for Paolo Almerico, a papal prelate, it was inhabited by 1569. La Rotonda is Palladio's only freestanding centralized pavilion. The dome was modeled on the Pantheon with the oculus being initially open. Still owned by the same family, the villa is in an amazing condition and is situated beautifully among the fields on the outskirts of Vicenza.

If you love symmetry, this place is not to be missed. Well worth the time to visit and appreciate. Parking hint: drive past the entrance, continue about 1km and parallel park on the street, it’s free but don’t block any driveways. Check out the picture. We found 1 item not symmetrical, and the guides could not explain it … maybe it’s now been corrected. ?
