We will see Prato della Valle, the Basilica of Sant'Antonio or "Il Santo", destination of millions of pilgrims every year and a romantic mix of styles and cultures from all corners of the world. Along the cobbled streets and medieval porticoes we will reach the beating heart of the historic center.

I did the Live Padua(Padova) as a Local walking tour, and highly recommend it to anyone who has a few hours to spend in this vibrant city. Chiara was an excellent guide, sharing her experiences and local knowledge of the people and culture as we walked through the heart of the historic city centers. Connecting was easy (we used WhatsApp to find each other at the meeting place) and Chiara’s international perspective made for illuminating commentary and excellent choice of locations to include in our tour. Well worth every penny!

The visit of the city with Chiara our guide was very pleasant; a person. He conveys to you the passion with which he does this work. She was exhaustive and prepared. Given the pleasant surprise of being only 2 with her seen the low season we were also able to exchange mutual life experiences.
