Padova is a city 40 kilometers west from Venice, as it is so close to one of the most loved city of the world, it get often forgotten by the tourists. But there are a lot to see and do here, we have one of the oldest University in the world, founded in 1222, one of the widest square in Europe: Prato della Valle and many other sights like Scrovegni Chapel where the masterpiece Giotto's frescos are. Look also to my page about the village nearby MonseliceMontagnanaCastelfranco VenetoStràPiazzola sul BrentaComing soon more tips and pics. I am always working on this page. |

|  | Snow in Padova On January 1, 2009 Padova woke up covered by the snow, in the past we used to see more of these scene here but in the past years it stopped snowing so we have been surprised to see a show like this. |
| | Padova is a city of water The all city of Padova is filled of water, in the past they used to sail along these canals to trade with Venice and the other Veneto's city. We still have many canals all around the town, some of them are still sailing. Have a look to my "Things to do" tips to know more about this. |

Wow - canals in Padova! These are lovely photos and good detail - hope to visit. Artist Giovanni deSimone painted Piazza delle Erbe but I never knew where it was. Grazie, Carol <(•¿•)> | iandsmith Mon Aug 24, 2009 08:51 UTC
You're tempting me. There's a resort not far away and I'm thinking of spending a week there. Just checking you pages, thank you for sharing. | Pinat Fri Jun 5, 2009 10:24 UTC
Ciao Orietta! I'm a newcomer to VT. I lived in Italy for over a year but I was in Padova for one day only in a rainy winter day: Thru your pages I see how much I missed. Cheers from Ankara, Turkey.. |
