On the Euganean Hills, on the nearby Berici Hills and in the surrounding plain, there are numerous riding stables and itineraries for relaxing horseback rides or walks that can be done in any season.

Monte Sereo is 10 km from the thermal baths of Abano and Montegrotto, ideal destinations for a day of wellness and relaxation.

Forfood and wine lovers, the Euganean Hills are the ideal area to discover unique tastes and flavors and typical local products.

Monte Sereo's location also makes it easy to reach the most popular places in the Veneto region: the cities of Padua (km 20), Vicenza (km 25), Venice (km 70), Verona (km 76), and Treviso (km 82).

The whole area is rich in history, with the first settlements of the Veneti whose evidence can be seen in Este at the Museo Nazionale Atestino and in Padua at the Museo Civico agli Eremitani.

Worth visiting are the medieval fortified towns of Monselice, Este and Montagnana, the village of Arquà Petrarca, which hosted the poet in the last years of his life, the Camaldolese monastery on Mount Rua, and theBenedictine abbey of Praglia.

Beginning in the 16th century, the Euganean Hills and the surrounding Venetian plain became a vacation spot for patrician families, who fixed their summer residence here, erecting numerous villas such as the Barbarigo villa with its garden, in Valsanzibio, the Villa dei Vescovi in Torreglia, the Cataio Castle in Battaglia Terme.

Nearby are some ancient quarries with the remains of the furnaces that transformed the limestone rock of these hills into valuable building material, praised even by Andrea Palladio (visit the nearby furnace museum at Cava Bomba in Cinto Euganeo).

The products of the Euganean Hills reached Vicenza, Padua, and Venice through a dense network of canals and navigable rivers, active from very remote times until the middle of the last century, and whose thousand-year history can be followed in the Bacchiglione River Museum in St. Martin's Castle and at the River Navigation Museum in Battaglia Terme.
