Luggage storage Vicenza

Store your luggage around Vicenza with Bounce 

Italy is an absolute treat for fans of history, art, architecture, and culture. This is certainly the case in places like Rome and Venice, but these obvious travel destinations are just the start. The smaller cities in different corners of the peninsula have plenty to offer for travelers and may even provide a more pleasant experience because the crowds will be smaller and the cities are more manageable to get around. 

One of these cities is Vicenza, which is in the Veneto Region in Northern Italy. It’s the ideal stop on a trip through the region, being sandwiched between Bologna and Venice. It’s certainly not a place where you simply fuel up the car and grab a coffee or transfer trains. Vicenza is an incredible travel destination with plenty to do and see. 

A city like Vicenza is generally pretty convenient to visit, but there are still a few logistics worth planning out ahead of time. If you’re caught with your luggage while you want to poke around, finding a secure place to store the bags can go a long way in making your trip more enjoyable. Luckily, Vicenza has luggage storage services like Bounce available for all your travel needs.

Vicenza city guide 

Top things to do in Vicenza

Vicenza is often referred to as the "City of Palladio" after the famous Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio. He’s responsible for a number of architectural treasures in the historic city center, which has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is lined with remarkable basilicas, elegant palaces, and landmarks like the iconic Teatro Olimpico. 

There’s much to do in Vicenza aside from sightseeing. The restaurant scene is, unsurprisingly, astounding. Regional Italian cuisine is also underappreciated by international travelers, but cities like Vicenza are great places to appreciate traditional regional cuisine in cozy trattorias and cafes. The shopping scene won’t hold a candle to Milan or Venice, but for a city of its size, Vicenza offers some perfectly serviceable retail destinations along its piazzas, narrow streets, and open-air markets.  

Here are a few ideas for where to start: 

Museums in Vicenza

Teatro Olimpico

Designed by (you guessed it) Andrea Palladio in the 16th century, the Teatro Olimpico is one of the most revered architectural masterpieces in Italy, which is really saying something. Its iconic trompe-l'oeil stage scenery creates the illusion of a full city street on the stage, which was a revolutionary invocation at the time, and still a striking experience. It’s still operational today, and it’s one of the most coveted stages to play for any Italian performer. Check the calendar for opera, classical, and jazz performances for an unforgettable experience. 

Basilica Palladiana

You really can’t claim to have had the full Vicenza experience without stopping by this iconic building. With distinctive terraced loggias and a booming clocktower, the crowning jewel of Vicenza is situated at the heart of Piazza dei Signori. The facade of this 15th-century palazzo is incredible to behold from the piazza, and the interior houses the Museo Palladio, a small museum dedicated to Andrea Palladio and his works. You’ll also find the Museo del Gioiello, which showcases Vicenza’s storied jewelry-making industry and boasts an incredible collection of antique jewelry. If you’re mostly interested in the view, head up to the top terrace for amazing panoramic views of Vicenza’s historic quarter. 

Palazzo Chiericati

Another one of Palladio’s gems, this palace has been deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its impeccable Renaissance architecture and impressive museum it houses. The Museo Civico di Vicenza is a comprehensive collection of art and artifacts from the Veneto Region. 

Most of these landmarks are housed in ancient buildings, so you won’t find any lockers or luggage storage facilities onsite. If you need to store luggage for a day of sightseeing, your best bet is Bounce. we have plenty of locations near the best tourist destinations and museums.

Shopping in Vicenza

Piazza dei Signori

It’s hardly an original concept, but the city's central square also happens to be one of the best places for shopping in Vicenza. You’ll end up here regardless of your shopping goals because all the best landmarks are located within walking distance of Piazza dei Signori, including the Basilica Palladiana, Torre di Vicenza, and the Loggia del Capitanio. The square is lined with cafés, bars, restaurants, boutiques, and plenty of local shops selling everything you want. It’s especially great for souvenirs and gifts. 

Corso Andrea Palladio

If you’re looking for an upscale shopping experience, head to this elegant boulevard to shop through the many high-end boutiques, designer outlets, and recognizable international brands lining the street. It’s a gorgeous stretch of road, so window shopping is perfectly enjoyable if you don’t end up buying anything. 

Jewelry Shopping

Historically, Vicenza’s claim to fame has been its prosperous jewelry-making industry, and while the rest of Italy has caught up, it's still a thriving part of the city’s cultural offerings. There are countless jewelers throughout Vicenza, with plenty of shops along Corso Andrea Palladio and the Piazza dei Signori, but the other jewelers are spread throughout the historic quarter. Many of these shops have been in business for years, with a lot of the artisans operating family businesses. It’s the perfect idea for a meaningful gift.

If you want to shop around the city freely, it’s much better to book luggage storage so that you can store your luggage safely and sift through the best deals at local shops. Fortunately, Bounce strategically places its storage spots near the best retail districts and shopping destinations.

Restaurants in Vicenza

Matteo Grandi

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to taste traditional Italian cuisine in Vicenza, so take a break from the “Grandma-approved” tablecloth pasta for some contemporary cuisine that will amaze even the most adventurous eaters. The Michelin-starred Matteo Grandi is situated near the Basilica Palladiana and serves elegant modern cuisine that draws inspiration and flavors from across the globe. There’s an Italian focus, of course, but these imaginative dishes showcase how pasta can be a template for a wider reference point of cuisines. Reservations are absolutely required, as the Michelin recognition has really put this deserving restaurant on the map for foodies from around the world. 

Acqua e Farina 

Located in the city center, this pizzeria serves up traditional Neapolitan pizzas in a relaxed but elegant setting of an upscale trattoria. Quality is the name of the game at Acqua e Farina, with simple recipes made with the freshest ingredients imaginable. There are specialty pies with inventive topping combinations, but you should not skip the classic Margherita; it’s one of the best examples of this classic you’ll ever find. While it isn’t the main focus of the restaurant, Acqua e Farina just so happens to have one of the best wine lists in Vicenza.  

Ristorante Righetti 

Travelers come to Italy for a certain experience. This often involves a piazza-side restaurant that’s both romantic and comfortable. Ideally, the place has been around for decades. There will be an amazing wine list. The recipes will be dialed in, perhaps even passed down from generation to generation. Located near the Piazza dei Signori in a 17th-century palace, Ristorante Righetti is exactly this place. It’s easily the best spot in Vicenza for that romanticized Italian dinner you’ve been dreaming about. Oh, and the food just so happens to be delicious.

Many of these restaurants are pretty small, which makes luggage cumbersome to bring to dinner. It's certainly preferable to find luggage storage so you can store bags instead of dragging them through a nice restaurant or bar.
