How to get in Padova

The nearest airport is the "Marco Polo" Airport in Venezia (Venice), 40 kilometers east of
Padova; it is the third in importance in Italy, and conveniently linked with all major
European airports. Other airports near Padova are in Verona and Bologna but the transfer

Coming from overseas, look for a connecting flight reaching Venezia from Roma (Rome)
or some other convenient European airport, like e.g. London Heathrow, Frankfurt am Main
or Paris Charles De Gaulle.
