Logistic - How to Arrive to Padova


HOW TO REACH PADOVA

 
Padova is one of the cultural and economic centres in the Northeast of Italy, in the Veneto region, 40 kilometres far from Venice.
Like in most cities in Italy, there is an extensive network of public transportation and an almost as vast number of traffic and parking issues. We highly recommend using the different public transport solutions
Depending on the accommodation of your choice, moving by foot is also an excellent option to enjoy the city.
 

Reaching Padova by TRAIN

Padova is both on the Venezia-Milano-Torino and on the Venezia-Roma train routes; many trains are available. You can check the times and prices on the Trenitalia websiteItalo website or use The train line.
The first and second classes are available; for fast trains, a supplement is required, and in some cases a seat reservation is mandatory: so, specify which train you are going to board when asking for a ticket. All tickets (both round-trip and one way) have a validity of 2 months; before boarding the train, it is mandatory to validate them by using the yellow machines located on the platforms and throughout the station: penalties are applied to the infringers.

Reaching Padova by PLANE

The nearest airport is the Marco Polo Airport in Venezia (Venice), 40 kilometres east of Padova; it is the third most important airport in Italy, and conveniently linked with all major European airports. Other airports near Padova are in Treviso, Verona and Bologna, but the transfer from one of these to Padova is more difficult than from Venezia.
Coming from overseas, look for a connecting flight reaching Venezia from Roma (Rome) or some other convenient European airport, like e.g. London Heathrow, Frankfurt am Main or Paris Charles De Gaulle. On the contrary, avoid flying to Milano (Milan): from Milano, you have a bus ride of about 1 hour after the customs in order to reach the railway station, and then a 2 or 3 hours ride by train to Padova.

From the Venezia airport you can choose:
  • From the Airport (Piazzale Stazione, on the east side of the railway station) there are frequent bus connections to Padova by BUSITALIA Veneto.
