Practical guide
Treviso in winter
Winter is Treviso's most gastronomic season and, for many, its most beautiful: the fog over the canals, the porticoed streets, and the late-season radicchio on the plates create a city different from its summer version.
The season of late radicchio
The 'radicchio rosso di Treviso tardivo' is harvested after the first frosts and undergoes a forcing process in water before reaching the table. It is the province's signature product in late autumn and winter, served grilled, in risottos, pasta, and fillings.
Climate and what to wear
Expect damp cold, fog, and temperatures that often hover around zero at night. A waterproof coat, layers, and closed-toe shoes will do the trick. Snow is possible, but not frequent in the city.
Indoor activities
The city center's porticoes allow you to walk protected for much of the way. The historic churches and the Museo di Santa Caterina are sheltered visits, and the late-afternoon aperitivo is the local way to end a cold day.
End of the year in the city
Between November and January, the city center is decorated with lights and has a fuller schedule of events. As dates change each year, check the guide's events page to see what's happening during your trip.
