One of Europe’s oldest cities of art and learning, Padua is home to Giotto’s absolute masterpiece in the Scrovegni Chapel: a fresco cycle that changed the history of art. Close by, the Palazzo della Ragione towers over squares bustling with markets, the beating heart of the city.
The Basilica of St Anthony draws pilgrims from all over the world, while the Botanical Garden – the oldest still in its original location – is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With historic cafés and an ancient university, Padua will surprise you, about 45 minutes from us.
