Getting there
Getting to Padua: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Treviso Airport (TSF), about 37 km from the city centre in a straight line; Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE, 39 km) and Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport (VRN, 77 km) are also within reach.
Getting around
Discovering the city on foot is very easy. The historic center is not very big, so you can go around in the narrow streets. Padua, luckily, is quite a flat city. Apart from the few Roman bridges and some -not very steep- streets, you will not find any hills to hike! Especially in the city center, most of the streets are narrow and quiet and the terrain is sometimes made of pavé or cobblestones. In some areas, the cobbling is such that it would be unsuitable for standard road bicycles. Outside the narrow streets, a bike lane is sometimes available.
