Chiesa degli Eremitani - World Heritage Site
The Church of the Eremitani was erected as the Church of Saints Philip and James between 1260 and 1306 for the Eremitan friars of St Augustine.

20 minutes here
An institution in the city of Padua and a must do when you come here! I recommend a short visit to everyone and if you want, you can also consume their ‘Caffè Pedrocchi’: a drink that combines espresso coffee, cocoa, milk and mint syrup!
25 minutes here
Piazza dei Signori
One of the city’s many (and beautiful) squares! So called because here stood the “Palazzo della Signoria”, or “Palace of the Carraresi”, who were the Lords of Padua from 1318 to 1405.
20 minutes here
Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta
Dedicated to Saint Mary of the Assumption, it took its present form thanks to the architect Andrea da Valle, following a design by Michelangelo Buonarroti ( the famous Michelangelo! ) dating back to 1551.
20 minutes here
Piazza delle Erbe
For centuries this square was the ‘commercial centre’ of the city. Unlike the nearby Piazza dei Signori where the more ‘institutional’ celebrations were held, Piazza delle Erbe was home to the more popular festivities. The imposing Palazzo della Ragione overlooks the square.
15 minutes here
Palazzo Bo
The Studium Patavinum, i.e. the University of Padua, today one of the most popular universities in Italy, was founded in 1222 to accommodate students who had moved away from the Alma Mater in Bologna, considered too controlled by the Church. We'll find this into the Palazzo Bo!
20 minutes here
Basilica of St. Anthony
The “Basilica del Santo” is one of the most visited sanctuaries in the world. A treasure chest that also houses the remains of Saint Anthony of Padua, the Saint par excellence.
25 minutes here
Prato Della Valle
A great boast for the city of Padua! With an area of 88620 m², it is the second largest square in Europe, second only to Moscow’s Red Square.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Padua.
How much does Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local cost?
+
Prices start at $8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Padua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Padua is not rushed.
Is Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 83 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Padua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local?
+
Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Padua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Padua and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Padova Walking Tour with Audio and Written Guide by a Local start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Padua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Padua?
+
On Outty we rank every Padua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include CARTIZZI : Iconic PDC, Full-Day Padua to Venice Burchiello Brenta Riviera Boat Cruise, Chioggia : Unveiling City Charm By Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Padua?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Padua?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
