Book a transfer from Venice to Padua — from the incomparable floating city to one of Italy's most ancient and learned cities, home to Giotto's revolutionary Scrovegni Chapel frescoes and one of the world's oldest universities.
The 40 km journey takes just 45 minutes to 1 hour heading west along the A4 motorway through the flat Veneto plain between the Adriatic lagoon and the Euganean Hills.
Padua (Padova) is one of Italy's most important cultural cities — home to the Scrovegni Chapel, whose Giotto frescoes (1305) revolutionized Western art and are considered the foundation of the Renaissance. The University of Padua (founded 1222, where Galileo taught for 18 years) contains the world's first permanent anatomical theater. The Basilica of Sant'Antonio (one of Italy's most visited pilgrimage sites), the vast Prato della Valle (one of Europe's largest squares), the Palazzo della Ragione with its medieval market, and the Botanical Garden (the world's oldest, UNESCO-listed) make Padua extraordinarily rich. The lively student atmosphere, excellent food scene, and the Saturday market add contemporary energy.
