Shopping in Padova

• 1) Markets: The older, much larger market fills the Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Frutti, lying to the north and south of a grand, arcaded stone building, the Palazzo della Ragione. The open passages of the Palazzo house the butchers, cheese vendors, fishmongers, and fresh pasta shops. The Piazza delle Erbe to the south is mostly fruits and vegetables; the Piazza dei Frutti to the north is about half fruits and vegetables and half bric-a-brac and clothing. These markets are open all day every weekday plus Saturday. On Saturdays, the Prato della Valle is filled with a giant market selling clothing, household goods, plants, and antiques. A small fruit and vegetable market has opened weekday mornings as well, though it is incomparably smaller than the offerings at the Palazzo della Ragione.### 

Day trip

• 1) The Colli Euganei are low hills to the west of town with some nice trails to hike on, and other equally nice restaurants to eat at after a day of walking
• 2) Abano Terme is a small resort town especially popular with elderly German tourists based on the thermal spas in the area
• 3) Arqua Petrarca is a beautifully preserved medieval town nestled in the hills, which is probably best known for being the final resting place of the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca
• 4) Venice is not far at all: If you´re in Padova, chances are you´ve already been to Venice or are on your way there. But if not, it´s definitely worth a day trip (or two!).
• 5) Villa di Teolo is a town on the Colli Euganei
