🇮🇹 Italy's Most Underrated City - Padua 🏰

Padua is absolutely Italy’s most underrated city! 🤯 After living in Italy for three years, I can't believe I waited so long to visit. This place blew me away—it’s pure magic! 💫 🚆 Getting There From Milan, hop on Trenitalia or FlixBus 🚍 (my pick! No transfers, same 3-hour ride, and cheaper 💰). Pro tip: Book in advance for the best deals! 🎟️ 🏛️ Must-See Attractions (Walkable Route!) 1️⃣ Cappella degli Scrovegni (Scrovegni Chapel) 🎨 Padua’s #1 highlight—Giotto’s breathtaking frescoes! 😍 ⚠️ Book online at least 1 week early! Weekends sell out FAST. 🫠 (My biggest regret—don’t be like me!) 2️⃣ Chiesa degli Eremitani (Eremitani Church) ⛪ Bombed in WWII 💣 but still holds fragments of Mantegna’s masterpieces. Hauntingly beautiful. 😮 3️⃣ Palazzo del Bo 🎓 The historic University of Padua museum! 🤓 The "Hall of Fame" is pure gold—literally. ✨ 4️⃣ Palazzo della Ragione (Palace of Reason) 🏛️ Lunch break? 🍝 Ground floor = cafés & restaurants! Upstairs? A MASSIVE hall covered in stunning frescoes. Mind = blown. 🤯 5️⃣ Padua Cathedral (Duomo di Padova) ⛪ The baptistery is the star here! 🌟 🚨 Also needs advance booking—don’t get caught out! 6️⃣ Basilica di Sant’Antonio 🙏 BYZANTINE DOME + CATHOLIC SPLENDOR = 😍 Houses St. Anthony’s tomb & relics—spiritual and awe-inspiring. ✝️ 7️⃣ Prato della Valle 🌅 End your day here! Italy’s largest square, perfect for sunset pics. 📸✨ 📍 Why Padua? ✅ Less crowded than Venice/Florence ✅ Compact & walkable 🚶‍♂️ ✅ Art, history, food—ALL IN ONE! 🎭🍷 #Italy #HiddenGems #Padua #ArtLover #TravelTips #Wanderlust 🌍❤️
