Heading in to Padua (or Padova to give the Italian rendering) you'll find a profusion of sights to see. The main boxes ticked by visitors are of course the Giotto frescoes at the Cappella degli Scrovigni, and the Basilica of St Anthony of Padua. World famous sights both, but there is much more besides. Check out St George's Oratory, the delightful Caffe Pedrocchi, and the remnants of the 11km long defensive city walls. There are superb churches such as San Gaetona and Santa Sofia and the abbey of Santa Giustina. There is the majesty of the Prato della Valle (Padua's main piazza) and museums and galleries to discover. Grab a good guidebook, head out from your Padua hotel and enjoy.
