Hi all,

Currently I am organizing a study trip to Italy (Padova/Venice) in the end of April, and I am looking for a convenient place to eat.

The group consists of 27 persons. Also, since our budget is limited, the restaurant shouldn't be too expensive, say max 20€ per person.

Can someone advice us what would be an appropriate restaurant for us?

Thanks in advance for any reactions!

Hi people,I need a few answers!
I'll be staying in Pernumia (about 20km from Padova)so I wonder what's the best way for coming to Padova several times? By train (which would require going to Monselice first, i suppose) or by bus directly from Pernumia (if that's possible!) What is the better (cheaper/faster) option?
Are there any buses from Pernumia and how often do they run? I am not able to find this information anywhere...

Best regards!

Hi VTers,

Does anyone know if there is a locker service at the train station there in Padova and how much it costs? I have been trying to search for info online and I cant get specific info about it.

Thanks.

P.S. the hop-on-hop-off city tour bus does not operate during winter, does it?

Hi all,
I am planing a trip for August 2007 in Italy. I really want to visit Padova...Any good suggestions on what hotel that I should stay? The night life? And of course what would be interesting to visit?
Thanks you all,

Hello vters :)

We are planning to go to padova after our christmas in venice. We are thinking if we can already go to padova on the 26th and stay overnight then head to verona.

Are the churches,shops, museums and the university already open on the 26th or not yet? Is one day enough to see most of the tourist spots in padova?

If it is generally closed on the 26th, then perhaps we would stay one day more in venice and go to padova on the 27th and head to verona on the 28th.

Hoping for your enlightenment before we do our final plan and booking.

Thank you very much.

I read good reviews for the new Holiday Inn in Padova. However it is a bit out of town centre, and would appreciate bus directions

Hello,
I'd like to visit Padova using Padova Card for discounts. Trying to book tickets online in the Scrovegni Chapel's website I saw that I can't book the discount tickets without buying Padova Card from their site. This way I will have Padova Card in my hands only when I'll go to take my tickets at the chapel but I'd need it to park the car BEFORE to go to the Chapel.
This UNLESS I need the Card only when I pay the parking AFTER my visit. Does anybody knows how it works with parking and Padova Card?
I'm not very sure I have been clear enough, but I do hope so ;)

Thanks
Sergio

Just wondering how far and what train station is near the Holiday Inn Padova. We're coming from Florence, is there a direct train to Padova?

Dear all travellers,

I need help. I'm traveling to Padova with 3 girl friends from 16 July to 19 July this summer.We are staying in Hotel Accademia Palace - Padua
Via del Pescarotto 39 and plan to go to George michael's concert to Stadium Viale Nereo Rocco 60. Does anybody can tell me which bus to take to go there?
Then I would be very gratefull for the tips where to eat, where to shop and what to buy. The most important question is what to see? I like museums and great buildings, parks and monuments...but there are a lot of them, so I need a selection and adresses - I will be using GPS.
Thanks for your help, greeting from Ljubljana,
Sabina

hello. i'll be in padova this october 30 - november 1 and was looking for a nice, inexpensive place to stay. i found this bed and breakfast online - al ponte, along via a. zacco - and it looks like it has a really good deal: 50 euro a night for a double room with bath, breakfast and use of the washing machine.

the B&B website is www.bbalponte.it

i haven't seen any reviews though and was just wondering if any of you have stayed here or are familiar with it... any info would be good :)

thanks!

Please could someone tell me where to find prostitutes or brothels in Padova. I have heard that 1* hotels are a good place to start??

Hello people! I would like to know how much is a train ticket from Battaglia terme to Padova? And are there any direct trains from Battaglia Terme to Venice or to Vicenza? Thank you all very much...

I also need a great restaurant for a Sunday lunch, one ideally situated in a "charming" town or vineyard somewhere between Venice and Padova (or near Abano). Ideally, something characteristic and non-turisto.

I'm taking some very sophisticated clients to Abano in September and would like to know what you think is the most beautiful and up-to-date hotel there. Thanks.

We will be travelling to the west coast of Italy in June/July this year, finishing off with a 2-night stay in Padova in order to take my mother-in-law into Venice for the day. We require 2 rooms (double + child bed and a single) somewhere that is't too far from the railway station. Can anyone recommend a a nice hotel? If an apartment renter would be OK with just a 2-night stay, that would be great, too. Grazie!

I will be ariving in Padova in early March. I am interested in seeing some Military history while there. Any suggestions? I am also interested in a cold beer after a day of site seeing. Any suggestions? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is there public transportation to the large antiques market held in Piazzola sul Brenta--25 km north of Padova? I hope to attend on February 26th.( a Sunday)
What about public transportation to Brugine for the antiques market on Sunday, March 6th?

Hello, members!
Can someone inform me about the exact location of this hostel, and how far is from train station and city centre.
Many thanks!

1) How far is Sta. Giustina from the Basilica of St. Anthony?
2) Is it walking distance?
3) What is the address/location of Padova's Duomo?

Thanks!

Hi All

We are booked for an 11:15 viewing of the Scrovegni chapel. We will be coming from Venice, arriving either 9:32 or 9:45 in Padua Train Station. Supposedly we have to pick up tkts (at Eremitani Museum) at least one hour before, and be at the chapel gate 5 minutes before scheduled time (11:15). Given this time constraints, what's the fastest way to get to the Eremitani area to pick up our tickets for the chapel viewing. Can we just walk this and have enough time? Thanks for all your responses.

I have heard Padova is a shoe paradise. There are supossed to be shoe fair on Saturdays wiht affordable prices. Does anybody know anything about this? I am going home from Bolzano and I could make a stop in Bologna.
Any hints about shopping in Bologna would be great.
Thanks
