4/5 - Good

Padova was great to visit. BUt how can Expedia ask about places visited by listing the top attractions for Venice, not for Padua. A real weakness for Expedia.

4/5 - Good

Leon

It is a quaint little town. Cobble and brick pathways are just really beautiful. Food is nice too. If you wish to visit Scrovegni, BOOK in advance.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Can only comment on the apartment and location as we had a late check in only stayed one night and left early the next day to catch a river cruise.
