Once again, a short train ride and no car to park or lose. Upon arrival take the public transit to the city centre and enjoy the openness of the plaza. Food fairs, scooter displays, a children’s bicycle-traffic training course, a carousel and a canal grace the city bustling hub.
The city of Padua has an abundance of architectural styles and may more churches and cathedrals. Most interesting is the chapel containing Giotto’s, the noted medieval painter, tomb. A grand university that can boast of the first woman graduate. Many market squares entertained our hours meandering the city streets. It was refreshing to people watch and be met with friendly happy smiles.
