Padova Travel Forum

Hello Everyone!

How does this sound to those of you with knowledge of the Padova and Vicenza area:

I've got a maximum of 4 days.
Flight to Brescia.
Car hire and drive to Vicenza for 1 or 2 days.
Drive on to Padova for 1 or 2 days.
Something else?
Return to Bescia for flight home.

Or

Use public transport, I know there is a good bus service to Verona from Brescia (I've been there before) and then get train or buses to Vicenza and Padova.

I've been to Verona before (lovely place, but not for this trip). Would I have enough time to see Padova and Vicenza or best to spend more time in one or the other? Is there any other good places to go to?
Have been to Riva del Garda, Venice, Verona, Udine (a bit far anyway).

What about Bassano del Grappa, Cittadella or Parma?

Thanks for any advice in advance!

If you go to Vicenza be sure to visit Marostica, charming little town about 20 kms from Vicenza which is famous for its "living chess" i.e. chess is played with real people, kings and queens, horses, ...

If you plan to go only to Vicenza and Padova, forget the car and use the train. If you plan to see something else in the province (i can add Montagnana and Soave), only a car can allow you to do it without wasting lots of time you don't have.

Ciao
