I was surprised how much I enjoyed Vicenza. We only had the briefest of visits, stopping off the train from Padua back to Verona after a day trip. So we only had a little over an hour between trains at the end of the day.  But with a brisk walk into the town center and back, and a little wandering around, we were able to see exteriors of some of Palladio's buildings, as well as a few impressive non-Palladian palazzos along the way.  The Palladian buildings we definitely got to see included the Porto Palace, the Palladio Museum, Palazzo Pojana, the Loggia del Capitaniato (photo), and the Basilica Palladiano. We thought we did pretty well with our treasure hunt for Palladian villas in our limited time (and no real map or anything to guide us -- we weren't really very prepared). In the end, we were happy that we had been motivated to stop off here by its WHS status and get a brief glimpse of the city and Palladio's work.
