| TREVISO |
Treviso is a historic city in the Veneto region with approximately 100.000 inhabitants. It is the wealthy capital of the Province of Treviso, once know as the "Marca gioiosa" (the Joyful March) for the beauty of the buildings and the surrounding areas. There are a variety of monuments (notably, stone lions) and artifacts that belong to the period when the town was a part of the Serenissima (the Republic of Venice, since the XIV century). The town is now famous for the fashion brand "Benetton" and, possibly, for a bizzarre and embarassingly controversial deputy mayor.
To tickle your interest we suggest tou to have a look at the tourist/historical places you cannot leave without visit them. To see where they are located and plan an "efficient" sightseeing see the provided google map . In such a map, the most part of the descriptions contains a link to a nice website that will provide you useful information (in english) about each historical location.

| TRAVEL TO TREVISO |
BY TRAIN
You can easily reach Treviso by train. The direction is often Udine or Udine-Trieste but there are other chances. Check the Trenitalia-website for schedules and fares. You can purchase tickets online.
BY CAR
Treviso can be easily reached by car using:
- Motorway of Alps-Adria A23
- Motorway of Brennero A22 and A4 Milan - Trieste
BY PLANE
Treviso has its own important airport served by many low-cost companies (including Ryanair, Transavia and Germanwings). Please notice that the airport of Treviso (TSF) is also known as Treviso-Venice or Venice-Treviso because it's close to the much bigger airport of Venice that is 40 km far from Treviso. In other words, be aware that Venice is neither Treviso-Venice nor Venice-Treviso, as far as airports are concerned!

| ACCOMODATION |
There are few hotels in the center and searching for accomodation through the web would produce results in locations far from the City Center/Conference Venue. We strongly suggest you to book in advance and pay attention to the location on the map of the chosen site.
You can find a list of suggested hotels in the City Center below; see the aside map to valuate their distance from the Conference Venue. We also list some other possible solutions a bit away from the Conference Venue. Write to IAT Treviso to get a brochure about accomodation in Treviso and a more complete list of hotels and B&Bs.
