Description
A Padua golf cart tour is the easy way to see a lot of the old town without tiring your feet. You glide through the streets on a quiet electric cart, with a local tour leader who adds stories and curiosities as the route unfolds.
The ride starts by the cathedral and continues to Piazza del Capitaniato, where a palace by Andrea Moroni dominates the square. Along the canal banks you reach the Specola, a tower from the Middle Ages that became an astronomical observatory, then pass old gateways and sections of the city walls.
- Basilica of Saint Anthony, among the world's most visited places of pilgrimage
- Basilica of Saint Justina and Prato della Valle
- The Jewish Ghetto and its narrow streets
- Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori
You can step into the churches that are open on the way, and there are panoramic stops for photos. The experience lasts about ninety minutes, comes with an audio guide and suits families and small groups who want to cover plenty of ground at a relaxed pace.
