Discover all the iconic places of Padua in a pleasant 1.5-hour walking tour with a local Italian and English-speaking guide, then relax in the refined atmosphere of historic Caffè Pedrocchi, where you can taste the typical Pedrocchi coffee with mint flavour, accompanied by some biscuits, and ask your guide any curiosity you might have about Padua, its history and its habits.

Meet your guide at 10.30 am in front of the Precinema Museum and start your walking itinerary covering the following must-see highlights:

• Prato della Valle, the largest square in Europe, with its central elliptical island surrounded by a small canal on whose banks there is a double ring of magnificent statues
• Basilica di Sant'Antonio, the destination of thousands of pilgrims who come here every year from all over the world and one of the major Padua tourist attractions.
• Palazzo del Bo, the ancient headquarters of the University of Padua, with the Ancient and Modern Courtyards
• The Jewish Ghetto with its narrow streets full of history, nowadays the slightly more ‘hipster’ part of the city with lots of wine bars and craft shops
• Padua Squares: Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza della Frutta, the beating heart of the city with their markets and arcades bustling with bars and taverns, and Piazza dei Signori, with its famous 14th-century Clock Tower
• Palazzo della Ragione, the ancient city court which houses the largest frescoed astrological cycle in the world, inserted in the frescoes of Unesco-site Padova Urbs Picta

At approximately 12.00 pm you will get back to the starting point, Caffè Pedrocchi, where you will have about half an hour to try the typical Pedrocchi coffee with mint flavour, take some time to relax and ask the guide all your questions.
