2.Padua Walking Tour with the Scrovegni Chapel

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 96 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $175

Explore Padua’s central squares and the Scrovegni Chapel on a private, English-language walking tour. Your guide explains Giotto’s fresco cycle and the city’s past, with routes that may include the market, Café Pedrocchi, the Ghetto and Palazzo Bo. Chapel access is included, but time inside is limited to about 15 minutes.

“Valérie was clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the art. She also brought her knowledge to her discussion of the history of Padua, which was new to me. I’d recommend two improvements: Make it clear we only have 15 minutes in the space, meaning only 15 minutes to take photos. And if you don’t understand what I’m asking, ask me to repeat. Don’t be shy! I’m pretty sure Jesus wasn’t. Don’t hide your light under a bushel.”

3.Scrovegni Chapel Ticket and Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 61 reviews · 30 min · from $36Best value

Enter Padua’s Scrovegni Chapel for a 30-minute visit to Giotto’s 14th-century fresco cycle, a UNESCO-listed work known for its intense color. Admission and a seven-track audio guide are included; the tracks cover the chapel, the University of Padua, and Erbe Square. The group is limited to 10, and advance booking is required.

“la cappella degli Scrovegni si commenta da sola, bisogna ammirarla per capire la sua maestosità. Il costo del biglietto con audioguida è sproporzionato considerando che prima dell'ingresso c'è un video che spiega tutto, l'audioguida è praticamente inutile. Consiglio di prenotare direttamente nei canali ufficiali! Oltretutto abbiamo avuto difficoltà a farci riconoscere i biglietti.”
