The five-domed cathedral of San Pietro was built in the 15th and 16th centuries on the site of an earlier Romanesque church. Below it is the crypt of the original church, dating from the 11th and 12th centuries; the porch was added in 1836. Inside the cathedral, look for The Annunciation by Titian, painted in 1517, and the frescoes by Pordenone, completed in 1520. The Cappella del Sacramento is decorated with excellent examples of the sculptures by Pietro and Tullio Lombardo and by L. Bregno. To the left of the cathedral stands the Romanesque Baptistery from the 11th and 12th centuries, with 13th-century frescoes and a fine font. Portions of a mosaic floor from a paleochristian baptistery have been exposed on Via Canonica, where there is also the Museo Diocesano d'Arte Sacra di Treviso (entered through the cathedral), containing sacred art and archaeological finds.

Address: Piazza del Duomo
In the center of Treviso is the picturesque Piazza dei Signori with the Palazzo dei Trecento, built in the late 1100s and once the seat of Treviso's government, and the 15th-century Palazzo del Podestà with the tall Torre del Comune. The Palazzo Pretorio, a Renaissance palace, now houses the town council. Between Piazza dei Signori and Piazza del Duomo runs Via Calmaggiore, Treviso's main street, lined by fine 15th- and 16th-century houses. Although only three blocks long, it has a number of buildings with decorated facades and lunettes above their arched doorways. On Treviso's market days, you'll find the square filled with stalls and shoppers. Backing onto Piazza dei Signori but facing Piazza San Vito is the church of Santa Lucia, where the saint's relics rest. Although not at all prepossessing from outside, it has a lovely peaceful interior with frescoed ceilings and remains of medieval frescoes on the walls. Treviso's tourist information office is in the little Piazza Monte di Pietà, just behind Piazza dei Signori.

At the southwest corner of the old town, the Dominican church of San Nicolò is a spacious Gothic church built in brick during the 13th and 14th centuries. It has round piers and an unusual vaulted timber roof, which has been restored. On the high altar is Madonna Enthroned by Fra Marco Pensaben and Savoldo from 1521, and the tomb of Senator Agostino Oningo is by master sculptors Pietro and Tullio Lombardi dating from 1490. The elaborate organ, completed in 1779, is by Gaetano Callido, and a nearby fresco represents St. Christopher. But the frescoes in the chapterhouse of the former monastery are especially impressive. Wrapping around the room is a frieze of 40 fresco portraits of Dominicans by Tommaso da Modena, painted in 1352. What makes them so outstanding, even in this city where there are so many examples of his work, is their personality, even humor. Each friar is shown at work, engaged in mundane duties at his desk, and the liveliness and individuality of their portrayal is surprising for its day, even for a follower of Giotto, as Tommaso was.

Don’t miss a promenade between canals, water-mills and the fish market. Two rivers encircle Treviso, and in addition to their confluence here, their waters have been contained into a series of canals and tiny waterways that wander picturesquely through the city. Houses rise directly from their water, and it flows under the arched foundations of others. Every bridge reveals another vignette of balconies above the water. Adding to all this is an occasional waterwheel, remnant of those that once drove mills throughout the city. You'll see them as you walk around Treviso, but there is one quite near the Pescheria, the fish market. One of the oldest and least changed quarters in Treviso includes the colonnaded buildings of the Buranelli and the convent of the Camaldolese nuns. Until the mid-1800s, there were three small islands in its midst, where fishermen from Burano brought their fish to sell. Then the three islands were joined, and a proper fish market was built on its own little island. Surrounded as it is by elegant old buildings, this bustling morning market is one of the city's most atmospheric sights. More recently, some incongruous but attractive contemporary sculptures of fish and a mermaid have been added in the river.

Take time to walk alongside the walls, or at least to see the four major gateways into the city (Porta San Tommaso, Porta Santi Quaranta, Porta Fra’ Giocondo and Porta Altinia). From Porta San Tommaso, built in 1518 at the northeast corner of Treviso, you can walk along the northern rampart, where there are beautiful views of the Alps. The well-preserved 15th-century walls that surround Treviso are not the first; Treviso was a Roman city, and the Romans fortified it from the earliest days. The River Sile flows alongside the walls, and together with the River Cagnan, it was used to further protect Treviso from attack. The waters were diverted into canals that encircled the city and were designed so they could also be used to flood the surrounding lowlands, making a siege difficult. The present walls, strengthened by earthworks, were built by the Venetians, as you can guess from the winged lions on the imposing gates. Treviso was Venice's major stronghold protecting it from invasions from the north.

The status — and location — of Treviso's municipal museum has been the subject of some confusion for almost a decade, as its original building on Borgo Cavour has been undergoing a long (and some say endless) restoration. Happily, the contents have been moved to the Santa Catarina complex, which has been repurposed to display them. You will still see confusing references to the old location, but don't be misled. The artistic highlights of the Museo Civico are the frescoes by Tommaso da Modena and Girolamo da Treviso, and paintings by Bellini, Titian, Lotto, Pisanello, and many other artists. Perhaps Tommaso da Modena's best-known works are here, his fresco cycle depicting the life of St. Ursula. But don't stop with the art: the archaeological collections are impressive and well displayed. Address: Piazzetta Mario Botter 1, Treviso

The mix of Romanesque and Gothic features in this church hints at its origin in the 13th century, when Gothic was beginning to replace the older, heavier Romanesque. Hence its rounded transept and entrance arches and lighter sleeker arches of the windows and some chapels. History has not treated the church kindly. Like many others in Treviso, it was commandeered by the French army when they took control of Venice and Treviso in 1797, robbed of its art, and used as a military storehouse. The monastery was demolished, and it was robbed of its cloisters, and a house was built with the bricks of two cloisters. The church floor was removed, and the interior divided into several floors to create more storage space. What's amazing is how much has survived. Inside the restored church is the 1364 tomb of Dante's son, Pietro Alighieri, a coffered timber ceiling, and in the altar to the left of the main altar, a Madonna and Child, with the saints painted by Tommaso of Modena.

Bike or walk along the Sile River! One of the most popular things to do in Treviso, for both locals and tourists, is walking or cycling through the Natural Regional Park along the Sile River. The park protects more than 10,000 acres of meadow, wetlands, and river. You can follow the river in either direction, passing villas, settlements, even the Cimitero dei Burci, a "cemetery" of old commercial boats that once used the river for trade. They were abandoned and sunk here in protest when the river was closed to navigation.

The Buranelli Canal is named after the merchants from Burano who lived along this watercourse in the 1500s. However, this small karst spring river in Treviso – which sometimes disappears underground and runs across the city for less than a kilometer – has other names too: Cagnan di Mezzo – or Medio –, Cagnan delle Beccherie, and Cagnan dell’Ospedale. Whatever you want to call it, it is “one of the three branches in which the Botteniga River divides as it enters the city at the De Pria Bridge […], with its seven awesome arches, each one of which has two sluice gates (‘bòe’ in the local dialect) to regulate the river’s flow in the city”. Along its brief course, before diving into the Sile, the Buranelli Canal is flanked by the narrow Vicolo dei Buranelli, where one of Treviso’s many poets once lived: Giovanni Comisso (1895-1969). Comisso once wrote: “Landscape is my sustenance: I recognize it as the source of my blood. It penetrates my eyes and increases my strength. Perhaps the reason why I have traveled around the world was nothing but a search for landscapes, which beckoned me so powerfully.” “Perhaps I still retain some of the instinct that must have dominated emigrating races, which was simply a thirst for new and wonderful landscapes, before it even became a need for new territories to conquer. Landscapes first and foremost reveal the trace of God’s hands – so I understand how sensitive individuals may have come to claim they saw divine apparitions in the middle of the most beautiful landscapes. The other trace they show is man’s, but men also take shape and grow in relation to the landscape: they mirror it”.

The Museum had closed in 2003 for urgent renovations, but its redevelopment project began to flesh out only in 2010. And in 2015, finally, it was time for a new inauguration. The new entrance of the “Luigi Bailo” Civic Museum in Treviso features an interesting cross-shaped façade by Padua’s Studiomas Architetti Associati and Austrian architect Heinz Tesar. It is a composition of eight artificial stone slabs standing out against a backdrop of white marmorino, located on the southern end of a 15th century monastery that was terribly damaged by bombings during the Second World War and rebuilt in 1952. The Bailo Museum – named after the priest who in the late 1800s founded a “Treviso Museum” in this same spot, showcasing paintings and sculptures from various periods and countries, as well as some noteworthy Renaissance pieces – is now home to a 20th century art collection that includes the largest existing collection of works by Arturo Martini, with over 130 pieces between stone sculptures, plaster casts, objects in terracotta, ceramic and bronze, and works of graphic art.

Bike sharing? That’s the place! There is a municipal bike-sharing scheme, TVBike (€2 an hour), pop in at Tabaccheria Barberia to have all info. Treviso is a cycling city. We all get around the historic centre on two wheels: it’s a good way to avoid traffic jams, and tourists have to get used to bikes weaving between them in what look like pedestrianised streets. But serious cyclists should head to world-famous Pinarello: the Treviso manufacturer’s bikes have been ridden by winners of the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France (including current champion, Egan Bernal) but its local shop at at Borgo Mazzini 9 also hires town bikes from €15 a day. The surrounding region is perfect for both serious 70 to 80km routes – around picturesque hilltop Asolo and the climb up 1,775-metre Monte Grappa – or a lazy ride and picnic on the banks of the Sile.
