English Hotel Grand'Italia
Early 20th-century Art Nouveau palace opposite the station.
4-star
In Padua is the Scrovegni Chapel, with Giotto's fresco cycle that changed European painting, and its university, founded in 1222, is one of the oldest in the world. Book with Zonetransfers: a driver meets you as you leave baggage reclaim at VCE and drives you to Padua from €109 per vehicle.
Padua is about 45 km from Venice Marco Polo, roughly 40–45 min by private car. From the airport the route takes the Mestre ring road and the A4 towards Milan to the Padova Est exit; the car drops you at your hotel or the edge of the centre's limited traffic zone. Zonetransfers confirms your car at once.
Tolls are paid by us; short stops on the way are free.
