Discover Isola Vicentina

Isola Vicentina combines different ways of exploring: routes through the landscape, historic sites, local crafts, as well as festivals and regional specialities are all part of what it offers. When choosing a hotel in Isola Vicentina, the town therefore provides, above all, a basis for deciding what you are looking for: decide whether your days should focus more on activity, landscapes, culture or culinary experiences.

Hiking, panoramas and cycling routes

The Sentiero Cammina con noi is a 10.3-kilometre hiking trail in Isola Vicentina. A second option is the Percorso panoramico sulla Pianura, an 8.5-kilometre panoramic route in Isola Vicentina. Both descriptions refer to independent routes with different focuses: the first is named as a hiking trail, while the second is explicitly a panoramic route.

For travel on two wheels, the Itinerario Cicloturistico is available. This cycling route in Isola Vicentina is 11 kilometres long. The Esperienza Degustazione offers another combination of nature and regional cuisine. It is a 10-kilometre route that combines nature experiences in Isola Vicentina with tastings of regional food and wine.

The Buso del Cogolo is also one of the specifically described destinations. The karst cave can be reached from Contrada Sottoriva via the Cammina con Noi trail in ten minutes. This means that both the starting point and the documented access route are specified for this visit.

Churches, Eremo and local crafts

The area’s cultural history is reflected in several distinct sites. The church of the Convento di Santa Maria del Cengio ed Eremo has been known since the late 12th century. The Convento ed Eremo di Santa Maria del Cengio is situated in seclusion on the crest of a hill and welcomes people seeking solitude and spiritual retreat.

In Castelnovo, the Chiesa di San Lorenzo di Castelnovo recalls an earlier era: it was built during the Hungarian invasions and completely rebuilt in 1166. The traditional Sagra di San Lorenzo is also held in the San Lorenzo area of Castelnovo. The 2026 edition was scheduled for 8 to 11 August and was associated with 10 August.

Tomè Sedie in Ignago offers a different local scene. There, a local craft experience takes centre stage, with marsh straw being manually processed into woven seat surfaces. The focus is therefore not on a general museum visit, but on the specific production technique and the material used.

Festivals and regional specialities

The festival tradition also includes the Sagra di San Rocco. Local specialities such as bigoli con l'arna and baccalà are served there. The 103rd Sagra di Santa Maria takes place from 23 to 25 August at the Area Verde di Santa Maria and includes events, live music, family activities and food and drink options.
