21 Jun. 2019Padova was great to visit. BUt how can Expedia ask about places visited by listing the top attractions for Venice, not for Padua. A real weakness for Expedia.

2 Jun. 2019It is a quaint little town. Cobble and brick pathways are just really beautiful. Food is nice too. If you wish to visit Scrovegni, BOOK in advance.
