Padua Province (Padova)

In the Italian region of Venice is located a small province of Padua. The area of 2142 km2 is divided into 104 municipalities with a population of approximately 887000 people. The cultural centre of the province of Padua is the capital city of Padua. In the north this province borders with the province of Treviso, in the east with Rovigo and in the south and in the west with Verona and Vicenza.

The cities of Abano Terme and Este are especially worth visiting because of their unique history. The capital of the province has a special feature: it is not crowded with tourists and is governed by the government of the residents and numerous students.
Nevertheless, a trip to the province of Padua is an attraction. The suburbs of the cities in this region are beautiful and there are lots of secluded vacation homes and apartments, but those who prefer to live in the city can also find an accommodation. Because of all these circumstances the holiday in the province of Padua is a real pleasure. Instead of going to a place full with tourists, you should try this region and explore its unique history. Many historical sites and tourist facilities are located here.

Another highlight in the Padua area is the city walls of the Citadella town, the Villa Contarini, and the natural phenomenon called karst spring. If the northern region is characterized by hills, the south, on the contrary, never finishes to surprise by its vineyards and impressive villas. Even the highest claims of the holidaymakers can be satisfied and their intention to meet and explore new cultures and traditions can be fulfilled right here.
