What To Expect
Prato Della Valle
We will start our journey in one of the largest squares in Europe — Prato della Valle. With its 78 statues and central island, this grand oval-shaped square feels more like an open-air museum. You will learn about its fascinating transformation from a swampy area into Padova’s iconic gathering place.
Basilica di Santa Giustina
Just next to Prato della Valle, we will discover the lesser-known but stunning Basilica di Santa Giustina. It’s one of the largest churches in Italy and holds the remains of several saints, including Saint Luke the Evangelist. Its peaceful atmosphere and majestic Renaissance architecture are often overlooked by tourists — but not by locals.
