8 Days Tour in Veneto (Italy) and Milano: Part 2 (Visit to Padova)


It has been a long time since my wife and I wanted to visit Venezia, Padova, and Verona (in the Veneto Region of Italy). As follows, we report our trip experience indicating what is worth visiting and a description of the best restaurants we tried during our holidays according to different criteria (location, menu, service, and price). Our tips and plan can be adapted to 6-8 Days in Italy spent in the areas of Venice, Padova & Verona.


Structure of Pages in this Blog post:

- Days 1 and 2 - Visit to Venice

- Day 3 (morning) - Visit to Padova

- Day 3 (evening), Day 4 (End of the Year), and Day 5 - In Verona

- Day 6 and Day 7 - In Milano


Day 3 (morning) - Visit to Padova: (click Here to be back to top part)


Wondering what to see in Padova in just one day? This city both in terms of museums and monuments and in terms of the landscape is full of wonderful squares and parks. Visiting Padova is a real pleasure because all the attractions are within walking distance from each other and you will not need to take buses or public transportation to see the most important things.








In Padova we suggest walking through the city and visiting “Piazza dei Signori” (have a look at the Clock tower with the pre-roman zodiac signs), “Piazza delle Erbe”, “Piazza della Frutta”, “Prato della Valle” (close to it you find the “Orto Botanico”), the “Cappella degli Scrovegni”, etc.

Close to Piazza della Frutta we decided to have lunch tasting the so-called “cicchetti” (sort of Tapas concept in Veneto) in a place called  "All'ombra della piazza” (in Piazza della Frutta one can also think of taking local food from the “Bottega del Pane”).

In Prato della Valle there is Basilica di San Giustina, and not so far there is the famous Basilica di Sant Antonio. There we met, against any possible expectation, a close friend (Mario), with whom we had a walk over the city in the evening. Unfortunately, we could not visit the Cappella degli Scrovegni and famous "affreschi" made by Giotto, so the tip is to book it in advance.
