What's there to do in Padova when I'm not on the golf course?
Padova itself is a fantastic city to explore, boasting the Scrovegni Chapel with Giotto's frescoes and the historic University. We highly recommend visiting the Prato della Valle, one of Europe's largest squares, for a true taste of local life. Plus, Venice is just a short train ride away if you fancy a day trip.
How easy is it to get around and access the golf courses in the Padova area?
Padova is very well-connected by train, making it easy to reach from major Italian cities. For getting to the courses, we strongly recommend renting a car; it offers the most flexibility to explore the various clubs and the surrounding countryside. Public transport to the specific golf clubs can be limited, so a car is your best bet.
