On foot
Discovering the city on foot is very easy. The historic center is quite small, so you can go around in the narrow streets.

By bus
The local buses are okay, but by nighttime the service becomes quite infrequent. The fares are €1 within the Treviso Comune and €1.50 outside.

By car
It is better to avoid driving your own car, as there are lots of one-way streets in Treviso and a one-way ring road around the walled city.

By bike
With the local rental bike shops you can make a good excursion at Palladian Villas. Ask locals for the Restera, a nice track all along Sile River. If you are brave, you can reach the Venetian Lagoon.

Antique villas
On Treviso region you can make an antique villas easy biking tour (some to see only from outside), among the best are:
 * Villa Emo

Do

 * Seminario Vescovile di Treviso, in via S. Nicolò. Ask to go in the "Stanza affrescata" by Tommaso da Modena: on the wall, between others, there is the first monk painted with spectacles in the history of Painting.
 * Eat Tiramisu. It was 'created' in Treviso, at Ristorante le Beccherie in Piazza Ancillotto. Unfortunately today there is no special place to eat Tiramisu. A Pasticceria near the Railway station has tiramisù made with savoyard biscuits, the original recipe.
 * Rugby Union: Benetton Treviso play in the United Rugby Championship (formerly Pro-14), the predominantly Celtic super-league. Their home ground is Stadio Comunale di Monigo, capacity 5000.
