Padua Private Walking Tour

Padua Private Walking Tour

Being in the shadows of Venice has its ups and downs. The disadvantage is that Padua sometimes gets ignored. On the flip side, its visitors can enjoy a nice and quiet visit without the hustle and bustle of its famous neighbour. Although only an hour away from Venice, Padua seems a world apart with its medieval marketplaces, fascist-era buildings and Italy’s second-oldest University. Not to forget that it is also the resting place of Saint Anthony, the patron saint of the illiterate, the poor, the finder of lost things, and of blessed weddings. Be sure not to get lost and walk in the footsteps of Galileo, Giotto, St. Anthony or Titian and discover why this city challenged both Venice and Verona for regional hegemony.

Chioggia, the little Venice - Tour From Padua

Chioggia, the little Venice - Tour From Padua

During this tour to Chioggia you will discover this small maritime city of ancient origins, full of canals, bridges, streets and pastel colored houses with typical green balconies. It will remind you of Venice, but you won’t find neither crowds of tourists nor gondolas. The black silhouettes of the venetian gondolas are are here replaced by hand-painted bragozzi, typical fishing boats of the Upper Adriatic sea characterized by a flat keel, which was useful to reach all corners of the lagoon, where sea level is also very low. THE OLD TOWN The tour to Chioggia starts from the entrance of the town, based in the south, Porta Garibaldi, a fortress built around 1300. After that we leave for the 9 bridges of the Canal Vena, by walking along imposing palaces and historical facades that recall those of Venice. Dont’ forget to enjoy a little stop for a glass of Prosecco or a delicious tasting of Chioggia’s cuisine! Among the monuments there are many religious buildings. Firstly the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, which houses an extraordinary Callido organ with 1617 pipes, secondly the small temple of San Martino, and thirdly the Church of San Francesco, built in 1400 and restored in 1700 with the addition of a rich layer of stuccoes and decorations. After that you will cross the most beloved church of Chioggia: the Basilica of San Giacomo, which houses the venerated icon of the Madonna della navicella, surrounded by the “tolele”, votive tablets donated as ex-voto and painted with the naive grace of the believers as thanksgiving or auspice. Continuing on, next to the Church of Sant’Andrea, you will see the Clock Tower; stop and admire the oldest working tower clock in the world. Finally, you can’t miss a stop on the balcony of the city, the Vigo Bridge: built in 1685 and adorned with marble in 1762, it is still proudly guarded by lions made of Istrian stone. Another lion – friendly called “el gatòn” (the big cat) – surmounts the slender grace of the Vigo column in the square of the same name. Meanwhile you will also admire the ancient residence where Goldoni, famous author of comedies collaborator of Molière, who wrote “Baruffe Chiozzotte“, set here in the town. THE BOAT TOUR In conclusion, you just have to enjoy a relaxing boat tour. You will board a motorboat that will let you discover the three main canals of the city and the Darsene; you will arrive in Sottomarina and you will cross the natural oasis of the Venetian lagoon. The staff on board will tell you all the secrets of fishing in Chioggia, the story of the Madonna dei Pescatori and much more. IMPORTANT: from November to March and in case of bad weather the boat tour will be replaced by an aperitif with spritz and cicchetti

Fantastic experience. Rachel was super helpful even though we had made a mistake booking the tour in English, she accompanied us in perfect Italian to discover the history of the spritz. The choice of the two places included in the tour was excellent, with quality food and delicious spritzes... not the usual Aperol spritz that we are used to drinking at aperitifs! Recommended experience! Thank you

Maria our tour guide was very charismatic and passionate about the places. She gave us a very informative background about Bologna. This tour was worth the money. The only drawback was the meeting point as it took us to another kiosk.

Mario was a wonderful guide with a lot of knowledge. We enjoyed every step of the tour.
