“If you haven’t visited this area, Veneto is the region where wealthy Venetians escaped the bustle of the city for over 700 years, and its rich history, Palladian architecture and local cuisine makes this area very different than others,” said Nikki Hooper, Overseas Director Thomson Lakes & Mountains.

“We are delighted that our customers have now the option to fly directly from Belfast International Airport to this stunning region to experience some ‘Dolce Vita’.”
