Known as Padova in Italian, Padua may be the oldest city in northern Italy, if you believe the claims of its 12th-century BC founding by Trojans. It certainly has history, including its famous university (one of Europe’s oldest, from 1222), the 13th-century Basilica di Sant'Antonio (resting place of St. Anthony), and Scrovegni Chapel, with Giotto’s famed 14th century frescos. The magnificent Prato della Valle, a 950,000-square-foot elliptical square, is thought to be Europe’s second-biggest.

This is one of the most incredibly places in the world. Giotto's frescoes have been lovingly preserved. You have to wait in an air-conditioned waiting room where they show an excellent little film with English subtitles, telling you about the history of the chapel and all the frescoes in it. Then you go in and they let you stay for about 20 minutes. Each one of the fresco pictures tells the most moving and beautiful, and human, story. He influenced all of future European art with the detail, the emotion, the humanity. Your ticket gets you into the rest of the museums too. Absolutely one of the highlights of my entire life to see this place in person.

In the 2 hours course (50€) we will make one dish. In the 3 hours course (80€) we will make 2 dishes. In the 6 hours course (160€) we will make 4/5 dishes.

Along the courses students will be provided of everything needed: working uniform, instruments, professional kitchen, professional chef and more.
We had a great time making pasta. We were two and learned how to make tortellini and tagliatelli. Fine for children too.

Just a few minutes walk from the basilica of San Antonio is this beautiful and vast square that is a must visit. Lined by the statues of the most important people in Italian history, this square is a rather relaxing and peaceful place to be if you want to spend an afternoon or morning with your family or friends or just yourself, have a picnic or just enjoy the moment. Tram stops are close by.

Founded in 1545, the University of Padua Botanical Garden is the oldest in the world to have maintained its original location and architectural layout. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Green heart of Padua city centre, it is host to more than 6,000 specimens and 3,500 species on a total area of 3.5 hectares. In the old Garden, characterised by a charming circular structure enclosed within walls, there are medicinal, insectivores, poisonous, succulents, aquatic, and ornamental plants, as well as historical plants such as “Goethe’s Palm” (1585). In 2014 the Garden was expanded with the construction of the Biodiversity Garden, consisting of five low-impact large greenhouses where visitors can enjoy a fascinating journey through the planet’s natural biomes – from tropical to sub-humid areas, from temperate zones to deserts – while exploring the thousand-year relationship between plants and humankind.
A beautiful respite in the center if the town near St Anthony and Prato. The medicinal plants are amazing as are the water repellant plants. A great day visit for all ages.
