Padova is a picturesque town in Veneto, known for its university and history. It is also where Galileo Galilei made his most important discoveries, where William Shakespeare set the Taming of the Shrew and where Oscar Wilde set The Duchess of Padua.
It is also a great place for innovation, creativity and recreation.
Compared to the busier cities of Venice and Verona, Padova is calm and peaceful, allowing visitors to stroll the historic centre and marvel at its architecture without bumping into groups of tourists. Venice and Verona are easy to reach on half-day or full-day trips.
