Getting to, and around Padova

We're anxiously awaiting your arrival! However, we know it can be difficult to navigate in a new city with so much happening, so we have created a short guide on how to arrive in Padua as smoothly as possible

• Car rental is available with prior booking, however, not necessary once in Padua
