Padua With Transfers To Venice Airport

See historical attractions that define Padua, including the basilica named for Saint Anthony, whose remains are buried there. While browsing the interior of this magnificent 13th-century basilica, you will likely see pilgrims praying as they place their hands on the green marble slab that covers Saint Anthony’s tomb. The city’s roots go back to the Roman Empire and the past is still venerated, especially in public squares such as the Piazza della Frutta, where you will find the medieval Ragione Palace, the oldest building in Padua. Other highlights include the elegant Prato della Valle, the largest square in Italy, and the astronomical clock that overlooks the Piazza dei Signori. Be sure to notice the clock’s unusual 24-hour dial that the hands go around but once a day. After free time to further explore the city center, you will transfer to the Venice Airport leaving plenty of time to make your flight.
