Just a few minutes walk from the basilica of San Antonio is this beautiful and vast square that is a must visit. Lined by the statues of the most important people in Italian history, this square is a rather relaxing and peaceful place to be if you want to spend an afternoon or morning with your family or friends or just yourself, have a picnic or just enjoy the moment. Tram stops are close by.

Founded in 1545, the University of Padua Botanical Garden is the oldest in the world to have maintained its original location and architectural layout. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Green heart of Padua city centre, it is host to more than 6,000 specimens and 3,500 species on a total area of 3.5 hectares. In the old Garden, characterised by a charming circular structure enclosed within walls, there are medicinal, insectivores, poisonous, succulents, aquatic, and ornamental plants, as well as historical plants such as “Goethe’s Palm” (1585). In 2014 the Garden was expanded with the construction of the Biodiversity Garden, consisting of five low-impact large greenhouses where visitors can enjoy a fascinating journey through the planet’s natural biomes – from tropical to sub-humid areas, from temperate zones to deserts – while exploring the thousand-year relationship between plants and humankind.

A beautiful respite in the center if the town near St Anthony and Prato. The medicinal plants are amazing as are the water repellant plants. A great day visit for all ages.

I have visited the Sanctuary of San Leopoldo Mandic for two times.San Leopoldo comes from Croatian nation and his miracles and good deeds are very famous.The story of sanctuary is very impressive.There is a kind of museum of Saint Leopold inside.I liked very much a Saint Leopold's carriage that survived the bombing and the body of San Leopoldo lies there where You can see him and take a prayers.I can recommend for visitors to attend the Holly Mass in the church in Italian.If I will come back in Padua surely will visit it again.

We were staying in nearby Guarda Veneta and looked for a town to visit. We didn't wanna see a big town, but something smaller and less-known. We haven't heard of Montagnana before, but just seen some pics online. So headed here and parked just outside of the walls on the Viale Spalato. Free and safe! The walls and the town itself are incredibly well-preserved and an impressive piece of architecture. The walls around town are really complete...and they really DO surround the whole town. It's nice just to walk around it, makes some nice pics. But be sure to get into town as well. Lots of nice sights and good restaurants and desserts. We came on a sunday and the town was pretty much deserted....except for some locals. And our car the only one on the parcheggio. We enjoyed having the town for ourselfes. If you don't mind that many stores are closed, then sunday it should be. It is quite stunning, that this fantastic place isn't more well-known. Still a bit of a secret. But among Italians it seems famous enough, there are festivities in and around the walls quite regularly. Wanna know more about me and my trips? Check my profile.

The astronomical clock overlooks the Piazza del Signori, my favourite of the 3 piazzas in close connection in the historical old Padua. Lots of small restaurants and cafes with seating on the piazza, lots of socializing and relaxing. The clock itself is beautiful.
