Padova (Padua) located in northern Italy’s Veneto region is a really great, and in my opinion, underrated, city to visit. It's perfect for a calm weekend getaway, or even a day trip, and is a great destination to visit from Bologna or Venice.
Padova is probably most famous for its incredible frescoes by Giotto in the Scrovegni Chapel and the immense 13th century Basilica of St Anthony. But there is so much to explore!
What to Visit
Giardini dell'Arena
@daniellecohen
This garden/park area is in between the train station and the Scrovegni Chapel. It's a nice, calm green area with lots of little bar/cafes, the perfect place to pause, enjoy the sunshine and have a drink.

Scrovegni Chapel
@daniellecohen
Make sure to reserve tickets well in advanced! You must select a time slot, (I would suggest arriving 10 minutes early at least) to make sure you drop any large bags/backpacks off and find the entrance okay. They sell out quickly so prepare in advanced.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots.
During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more.
I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.
