FAQs about hotels in Padova

Academic and Artistic Greatness

An artistic gem, Padua (or Padova in Italian) seamlessly combines awe-inspiring heritage and a modern vibe. Counting Galileo among its former tutors, the University has the world’s oldest UNESCO World Heritage-listed botanical garden.

Across the road is huge Prato della Valle, a green square with a canal lined by 78 statues, and home to a Saturday market. A market is also held in squares near to Palazzo della Ragione whose multi-levelled arches and vaulted wooden ceiling are an impressive sight. Cobbled, porticoed streets lead to the finely-crafted Gran Loggia and clock tower.

Every church has incredible décor, but the most famous is Saint Anthony of Padua, boasting the bones of the saint, an impressive 7 cupolas and 4 cloisters. The square in front has a statue by Donatello. Padua Cathedral's simple exterior houses amazing frescoes inside the baptistery by Giotto, creator of the jewel in Padua’s crown – the Scrovegni Chapel. His 14th century frescoes there have been meticulously restored to be as vibrant as the day they were painted.

The closest airport is Venice Marco Polo, but before you head there from your Padua hotel, apartment or B&B take time to enjoy the narrow streets around Palazzo del Bò or the Jewish district.

    College town with nice squares, historic buildings, museums and university without all the tourists. No big tourist groups or buses. Felt more like a real livable city with a local community. Prices for food and drinks were very reasonable relative to the more popular tourist locations.

    Padova is a historic city in northern Italy known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant atmosphere. Its highlights include the Scrovegni Chapel with Giotto’s famous frescoes and the Basilica of Saint Anthony, an important pilgrimage site. The city is also home to the University of Padova, one of Europe’s oldest, and the world’s oldest botanical garden. With its medieval squares, lively markets, and mix of tradition and innovation, Padova offers visitors a unique blend of history, art, science, and authentic Italian life.

    Like most Italian cities, Padova is worth visiting.

    Like most Italian cities, Padova is worth visiting. For those who want to learn about the cradle of free secular thought, Padova is a must location as the oldest secular university in the world and the first university that gave a uni degree to a woman. And top this with the usual mindblowing medieval, Venetian Gothic and Renaissance architecture. You can't see Scrovegni Chapel anywhere else and a cute private Museum of Precinema at Palazzo Angeli. Everything is accessible on foot. I would recommend at least three full days in Padova.

    Even though its a small town it is really nice, 2 days in enough (one day we spent in Padova and one day we went to Venice). We enjoyed the river walk and a lot of nice restaurants like the Pastasuta restaurant that right at the Padova market.

    Nestled in the Veneto region, it offers a truly authentic Italian experience, away from the bustling crowds of more tourist-heavy destinations. It was unexpected but an absolutely wonderful experience! The city is a perfect blend of history, culture, and charm.

    After traveling to so many places in Italy, Padova is possibly one of the most underrated cities. There are several basilicas, chapels, markets, piazzas and restaurants to visit. It's also in a great location; so close to Venice, Vicenza and Verona. The atmosphere is also cool with the university in the center of the city.

    I picked this hotel as it was just outside the historical centre with parking, although as it is in the conference and university area, I bagged the last parking place available on a Tuesday afternoon. It’s twenty five minutes walk to the Piazza delle Erbe in the centre, about the same to the Scrovegni Chapel and slightly less to the station with all the tram building works in the way. Room, breakfast and the one dinner I had were very good and there are fabulous views over Padova from the breakfast/dinner room on the 12th floor.

    I enjoyed my stay at the Biri Hotel - the room was comfortable and had everything we needed, the bathroom was spacious, the building was well managed, the staff was kind, and the breakfast varied. The place has neutrality and the usual advantages of chain hotels but with a feel of local colour. I would definitely stay there again, also for more nights. The location is not strictly central but close to the city center. Padova is a very walkable, and it was nice to walk to the main attractions or to the railway station.

    This year, we were just passing through Padova, so we stayed here twice to rest during our longer road trip. The hotel room was well-equipped, and the staff were very kind. The parking facilities were excellent, with plenty of spaces available. We found it easy to reach our destinations by car, although we didn’t visit the city center this time. I can confidently recommend this hotel to anyone.

    Very clean and cozy, large bedrooms, staffs very friendly and helpful. There is a good café at the hotel lobby. Free parking inside the property. We used Padova as base to visit Venezia, and it was perfect for it, since we were driving.
