Frequently asked questions
Look for a guide who links the city's layers: Roman Padua, the medieval university, Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel and St Anthony's Basilica. A two-hour walking tour in the compact centre covers the essentials without overwhelming you, and a private guide can adapt the pace and route to what you most want to see on a first visit.
