Attractions and Activities: Pedrocchi Café (Free entry) An institution in the city of Padua and a must do when you come here!

Attractions and Activities: Piazza dei Signori (Free entry) One of the city's many (and beautiful) squares! So called because here stood the “Palazzo della Signoria”, or “Palace of the Carraresi”, who were the Lords of Padua from 1318 to 1405. 20 min(s)

Attractions and Activities: Piazza delle Erbe (Free entry) For centuries this square was the ‘commercial centre' of the city. Unlike the nearby Piazza dei Signori where the more ‘institutional' celebrations were held, Piazza delle Erbe was home to the more popular festivities. The imposing Palazzo della Ragione overlooks the square. 15 min(s)
Attractions and Activities: Palazzo Bo (Free entry) The Studium Patavinum, i.e. the University of Padua, today one of the most popular universities in Italy, was founded in 1222 to accommodate students who had moved away from the Alma Mater in Bologna, considered too controlled by the Church.
