Padova Travel Forum

hi...I am from India and I will be coming to Padova in May for about 3 months...as I may get cheaper airlines to Milan, I wanted to know that is it burdensome to travel from airport in Milan to Padova with some luggage and what will be the cost. Please help me in this query otherwise I will have to look for a flight to venice...tahnx

Hi,
Milano has 3 airport. From all airport you have shuttle bus to Milano main railway station (from Linate airport a local bus and subway). From the railway station you have trains every hour to Padove, the railway line is Milano ==> Venezia.
The cost of the train is EUR 18,30 2nd class Inter regional train (more stops), about 2 hours and 50 minutes, or EUR 22,50 2nd class with Intercity, about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Venezia is near Padova, about 30 kilometres. From venezia airport you have a bus to the railway station of Venezia Mestre and from there a 20 minutes train to Padova.

Have a nice stay
Giorgio

The only website I found in english is Padova University.

Being Padova a University town is easy to find a room with our student, expecially during the summer, when a lot of student will finish the courses.

I suggest you to find a B&B for 1 week and to look for a place when you will be there.

There is a nice hostel in Padova that would serve you well until you can find a place to stay for longer. I know most people think hostels are usually disgusting, but this was a very nice one. Ostello cita di Padova www.ostellopadova.it
