Description:

Postcard-worthy Padova, one of the oldest cities in Northern Italy, is best admired from an open-air, double-decker bus. Travel at your own pace by charming canals, pleasant squares, and historic landmarks; this tour allows you to follow a adjustable travel itinerary.

Hop aboard for a day of exploration. Get to know Padova's artistic and cultural customs, as you pass through bustling piazzas and attractive districts. Begin at Basilica del Santo, where you can admire its 13th-century architecture as well as Roman- and Gothic-style interiors.

Gain insight into the city's daily rituals at Piazza delle Erbe. Walk to the Palazzo della Ragione—a medieval town hall—and admire its majestic roof before picking up local produce at fruit and vegetable markets. Then head to one of the largest squares in the country, Prato della Valle, where you have ample space to roam around and soak up the atmosphere. Wander to the center and find the island of Isola Memmia, which is enclosed by a canal and a circle of statues—a nearly picture-perfect setting.

For more captivating photo opportunities, take the bus to Riviera Paleocapa, where the Bridge of St. John was originally built. Find the Observatory, one of the most iconic sights in Padova, dominating the landscape and overlooking the city. From here, head to Piazza l. Nievo, home to the city's oldest church.
