Overview

This tour will take us, together with a local guide, to discover the real Padua. We will take a walk through the city and be enchanted by the most important views and monuments. We will see Prato della Valle, the Basilica of Sant’Antonio or “Il Santo”, a mixture of styles and hub of cultures from all corners of the world. Along the cobbled streets and walking under the medieval arcades, we will reach the beating heart of the old town. We will see the Ancient Ghetto of the city that with its narrow streets and its typical places has become a meeting place for Paduans and students. Then Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza della Frutta and Piazza dei Signori, often animated by the stalls of the Point of Sale and the swarming of people in the historic covered Point of Sale "Under the Salon". Finally, passing through the atrium of Palazzo Bo, home of the University of Padua, we will conclude the tour with a tasting "alla padovana" at the historic Caffè Pedrocchi.
