Getting to Padua by car<\/h2>\n\n

Venezia \u2013 Milano (A4) Highway<\/strong>If you\u2019re coming from the West, on the A4 Milan-Venice take the Padova Ovest (Padua West) exit. From there it\u2019s possible to reach the city centre in just a few minutes taking the bypass in the direction of Padua and following the road signs. More information on the traffic situation can be found on the website of the Brescia-Padova highway: www.autobspd.it<\/a><\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re coming from the East, always from the A4, exit on Padova Est (Padua East) and follow the signs for Padova centro citt\u00e0 (Padua city centre).Here you can find more information on the traffic-related incidents and forecasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Bologna \u2013 Padova (A13) Highway<\/strong>If you\u2019re coming from the South, the A13 ends at the beginning of the Tangenziale Sud (South Bypass) that will lead you towards the different parts of the city.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s useful that you know that the centre of Padua is a Limited Traffic Zone, with cameras on its periphery that read number plates.Driving in this area is only granted to cars with valid permits to drive there.More information can be found on the Padua Council website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
