About Padua
Padua rewards travellers who look past the obvious: a frescoed chapel that changed the history of Western painting, a vast piazza without a single building on it, and Europe's oldest university botanic garden all sit within a short walk of each other. You can spend a morning with a scholar on the Private Padua Tour with Professional Guide: Uncover the City's True Spirit, then follow the Brenta Riviera by boat on the Full-Day Padua to Venice Burchiello Boat Cruise along the Brenta Riviera the next day. It is a city of quiet, lived-in elegance rather than crowds.

Frequently asked questions
Padua's most in-demand experiences, especially small-group tours with Scrovegni Chapel entrance and private guided walks, fill up well ahead in spring and autumn, when the weather is mildest. Book those a few weeks in advance, particularly for weekend dates.
