About Padua
Padua sits within easy reach of the Venetian Lagoon and the Brenta Riviera, so boat trips here trade city traffic for open water, reed banks and working fishing harbours. A full day on the water can start with the Full-Day Padua to Venice Burchiello Boat Cruise along the Brenta Riviera, which follows the old river route past villas and farmland, while shorter outings such as the Chioggia by Boat: Unveiling the Hidden Charm of the Venetian Lagoon get you close to the southern lagoon's birdlife and quiet canals in about an hour and a half.

Frequently asked questions
Padua sits between the Brenta Riviera and the southern Venetian Lagoon, so you spend the day on open water rather than in traffic. Expect riverbanks lined with villas and farmland on the Brenta, and shallow lagoon channels, sandbanks and fishing harbours around Chioggia.
