Activity itinerary

Prato della Valle
  • 15m
We will start our journey in one of the largest squares in Europe — Prato della Valle. With its 78 statues and central island, this grand oval-shaped square feels more like an open-air museum. You will learn about its fascinating transformation from a swampy area into Padova’s iconic gathering place.
Basilica di Santa Giustina
  • 10m
Just next to Prato della Valle, we will discover the lesser-known but stunning Basilica di Santa Giustina. It’s one of the largest churches in Italy and holds the remains of several saints, including Saint Luke the Evangelist. Its peaceful atmosphere and majestic Renaissance architecture are often overlooked by tourists — but not by locals.
Basilica of St. Anthony
  • 25m
A short walk away, this is Padova’s spiritual heart. The Basilica of Saint Anthony, or “Il Santo,” is a major pilgrimage site, blending Gothic and Romanesque styles. You’ll hear stories about Saint Anthony, his miracles, and why this church attracts millions each year — even if you're not religious, the architecture and history will fascinate you.
Gelateria Portogallo
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Time to sweeten the walk! We’ll stop for a quick gelato break at Gelateria Portogallo, a legendary local spot with creative flavors you won’t find elsewhere. Try something classic or daring — it’s a delicious pause in our cultural stroll. Gelato included!
Piazza delle Erbe
  • 10m
Once known as Piazza delle Biade or Piazza del Vino, this square has been the center of Padova’s commercial life for centuries. Today, it’s still a bustling market filled with stalls, cafés, and local life. Surrounded by beautiful medieval architecture and arcades, it’s the perfect spot to feel the energy of Padova’s historic heart.
Piazza della Frutta
  • 10m
Right next to Piazza delle Erbe, this square was historically dedicated to the fruit market and remains one of Padova’s most iconic spaces. The vibrant atmosphere, combined with the elegant loggias and the famous Torre degli Anziani, makes it a true symbol of the city’s mercantile past.
Palazzo della Ragione
  • 10m
Dominating the two squares, this impressive medieval building was once the seat of the city’s courts. Its massive hall upstairs is known for its unique wooden ceiling and extraordinary frescoes. Below, the Sotto il Salone remains one of the oldest covered markets in Europe, where you can find traditional Paduan delicacies in historic shops. Entrance to the Palazzo is not included in the tour, however the view from the outside remains as breathtaking as the view from the inside.
Palazzo Bo
  • 15m
Our final stop is the University of Padova’s main building: Palazzo Bo. Founded in 1222, it’s one of the oldest universities in the world. Galileo Galilei once taught here, and the university is home to the oldest anatomical theater in existence. We’ll end the tour with a quick look at its historic façade and stories of revolutionary science and thought. Since it is the last stop of our tour, guests could explore Palazzo Bo's own tour, however it is not included into our tour.
