Crowd level: Easy. Busy only at the obvious hour

Palladio's city, a provincial capital east of Verona. The civic building on Piazza dei Signori is the visit, not an arena season. It is quieter than an opera night in Verona. It is still a city.
Worth knowing
The two clocks
The city says weekly markets run 7:30 to 13:00, and that Piazza delle Erbe on Tuesday is a Campagna Amica market run by Coldiretti Vicenza. Campagna Amica's own Erbe page says Tuesday 8:30 to 13:00. Use the operator's clock for that stall and the city's page for which square is on.
The short version
The comune says the Basilica Palladiana is the symbol of Vicenza: Andrea Palladio's loggia of serlianas wrapped around the medieval Palazzo della Ragione, and that UNESCO listed it in 1994. The same page says civic palaces stood on this ground from the second half of the 13th century, including the Palatium vetus and the Palatium Communis. The comune also says the building is accessible to people with disabilities.

Official pagePiazza delle Erbe producer markets
The city says Tuesday in Piazza delle Erbe is Campagna Amica, run by Coldiretti, and Thursday is a weekly market of agricultural producers. Campagna Amica's Erbe page lists vegetables, fruit, pork and cured meat, preserves, herbs, and honey.
Season. The city prints market hours of 7:30 to 13:00. Campagna Amica prints Tuesday 8:30 to 13:00, all year. Those clocks do not match.
Read both pages. The city's list is the one that says which square is on that morning.
