I'm Italian and lived in Padova for 5 years - I've been one of those graduated students celebrated in the piazzas! - and a youtuber too, so I wanted to say good job Dennis! I really enjoyed your video, very accurate infos too!
I'm from Padua and I must say, well-done! But...you totally miss the southern part of old town, with Prato della Valle and surroundings! And it's literally a big missing: Prato della Valle is a monumental square, built in late XVIIIth century, which is the second-largest city square in all Europe. And nearby you may find the Botanic Gardens, which as you correctly cited are the oldest ones in the World, and impressive Santa Giustina abbey (basilica): one of the largest churches in the World.
It's amazing to look at all that human scale density and street design. Beautiful historic buildings, warm inviting streets and pedestrian plazas, and streets that are not clogged up with cars. What more could you ask for? It's fascinating looking at Italian cities from an urban design perspective.
Spent a lot of time at Aviano and Vicenza, so weekend trips to Venice and Milan were always enjoyed, but Padova - Padua was also a great closer excursion. Cheaper, easier to get around and not so crowded, Many classes of hotels - b&b to 4 stars - and some great restaurants.
Really informative and high quality video. It is clear that you put a lot of time and effort into the film. A great guide for the city; with detailed research. Grazie Mille!
Il tuo è un ottimo video perché mostra la vita quotidiana nelle Piazze. Dei monumenti parlano le guide turistiche vanno visitati e non.basta un giorno. Ma della vita operosa e allegra che si respira nelle strade del centro storico, mancano i reportage. E quella sei riuscito a raccontarla bene. Ti sei perso però i mercati del mattino nelle piazze, quello di frutta e verdura in piazza delle Erbe e piazza della Frutta, e quello di abiti e vestiario in piazza dei Signori. Mercati affollati estate e inverno, che dicono molto della vita dei padovani. Anche quello dedicato alle piante e al giardinaggio del sabato, in Prato della Valle, una piazza meravigliosa. Ho vissuto a Padova per moltissimi anni, nelle piazze e la conosco bene. Dovresti fare un video che racconti la vita nelle piazze e sul Liston d' estate la sera. Ci sono i tavolini dei dehors che riempiono il centro delle piazze e concerti, musica dappertutto. Un'atmosfera unica che non ho trovato in altre città. Al prossimo tuo video su Padova! Grazie
Beautiful city! Rich history! Great hospitality culture! Amazing architecture - feast for the eyes! Bur what happened to the bus terminal/station???? That was a shock for me... I took a bus from Vienna to Padova and there was no bus terminal as we all know it... I arrived to Padova at 4 a.m. and had nowhere to go or even have a cup of coffee (there wasn't even one machine available). There was a huge parking lot for cars and buses - empty! No person, no office, no place for sitting and waiting....Thank God for the GPS devices! I got to the Basilica (my point of travel - personal pilgrimage) and waited there for the Basilica to open. It was even scarier to go back at night from Padova to Vienna because I was the only person waiting for the bus at close to midnight time ....very scary.... no room for waiting, no person to ask any question.... what happened??? This was an "international bus terminal"????!!!! Can anyone explain to me what I missed??
Why do some Italians insist on being reckless drivers/riders....ugh, that's just asking for trouble...tourists beware!!!...anyhow, Italy is so beautiful...can't wait to visit.
Dennis ti sei dimenticato del Prato della Valle che è la piazza monumentale più grande del mondo con 78 statue nel mezzo + 2 (Giotto e Dante Alighieri) nel portico della Loggia Amulea. Inoltre nel giardino di una casa privata in piazza Eremitani c'è la statua più alta d'Europa: ben 9 metri.
Excellent commentary, that is good description of the city. But the camera should look above the first story of the buildings sometimes. Also they could give 2 or 3 minutes to the part of the city outside the center-- none of the videos of cities by anyone do this.
@@denniscallan Prego. I've noticed American tourists seldom raise their eyes above the first floors when strolling thru beautiful European cities. Maybe that's because there is little architectural beauty & human interest in the US, at street level or above. The balconies and the ornate facades/roof lines outlined against the sky, are breathtaking, yet they never see any of it. Many TH-cam walkabout video photographers emulate this limited American view. Another common mistake is to not pan the camera to the right &/or left to show down the cross streets as you walk past them. Streets of various enchantments, which could be included in the video without lengthening it, are passed by with oblivion, like a horse does wearing blinders. Thank you for your "grazie." Good advice is often resisted, and seldom followed. By your reply there is hope that you will truly think about this advice, try it, and may follow it. Very few people would. Buona fortuna!
Thanks again James, I agree wholeheartedly, and when you watch my other 1,300 movies you'll notice I do point up sometimes (maybe not enough), and side streets are my speciality, while walking I always look both ways. There lies the true heart of town, away from the mobs. @@jameshannum7270
@@denniscallan What about devoting just a couple of minutes to the vast part of the cities outside the centers? Yes its nice to see the Left Bank and the Right Bank of Paris, yes that does show something of the city away from the touristy very center, but what about the huge area of Paris which is some miles away (5 or 6 metro stops out from the center)?
Interesting and do they speak English in da School? Or different languages and I better ask my partner Leonzio.Travelz and he's Italian thnx for sharing..

Love da history and Arts design.. Bellisimo 💕🌹One Question? Where is the children fun Activities? What about children family time to celebrate! Interesting med schooling.. Feel like dancing with them all playing music Where is all da children Activities? Play park's? Family time.
Great city. We had the good fortune to visit Padova in 2011. The one place you didn't mention or show in the video is the memorial to 9/11. It is in a pleasant park by a river and in my opinion, beautifully done.
Thanks for that information. Next time I am in Padua I will look for it. Is your last name really Padova? That explains why you remember it so fondly. This is another of Italy's many wonderful places.
denniscallan Yes, our name originated in DiPadova. An orphan was raised and given the name. When he reached 18 years of age he left the orphanage and came to the United States. Some time after his arrival, the family he started dropped the Di. The city hall hasProvincia DiPadova on it's facade. While we were in Italy many of the locals did a double take when they learned our last name. My wife is Donna Padova. They kidded with her that her name Donna, means lady in Italian, so they called here Lady of Padova.
That's a fascinating story -- makes me that much gladder I took my little trip to Padova, thanks. My recent trip to Venice gave me time to visit another nearby town, Verona, also nice but Padova is a bit more wonderful.

I used to live in via Oberdan, between caffè Pedrocchi and Palazzo Moroni. It was the best time of my life. I miss my city so much.
I been to pauda while travelling to Venice. Italy is a marvellous country and people are juwel. Coffee Makkiato... Lieve von Bangladesh
Padua is so lively! Thank you for showing us around.

Yes, I must return to Padua to see that piazza and the rest of this intriguing city, and to drink many more spritzes.
denniscallan padua in italy it's the capital of the spritzs
I am planning to settle Padua so I want to know more about it.
Hi what day is Market day in Padua [vegetables eyc] Thank you
@@lesleymcshanemitchell9651 if I remember, every morning but Sunday. But on Monday morning there are fewer stands.
