General presentation
Euganean Hills
Mild volcanic reliefs near Padua, between villages, villas, monasteries, thermal baths and panoramic roads.
The discovery of Euganean Hills revolves around Euganean Hills, Arquà Petrarca and Abano Terme. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, heritage and natural areas, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: summer heat and calm rhythm. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Arquà Petrarca
Arquà Petrarca S. approaches as a small set of thresholds, more than just a map motif. Stay long enough in the central streets and then in the margins: you better understand the balance between cultural heritage and residual life of the place.
Place
Abano Terme
Abano Terme carries its thermal history in the very shape of the city: hotels of cure, gardens, ponds and wide avenues make up an organized resting landscape. We come there less for a postcard than to feel the rhythm of a resort where treatments, walks and cafes mix daily.
Place
Monselice
In Monselice, the hill perspectives and narrow streets build a progressive discovery experience. Moving towards high points and then returning to the center allows to see the logic of the city: from stone lines to daily uses, everything remains coherent.
Place
Este
Este around its walls, castle and Venetian streets lined with sober palaces. At the foot of the Euganean hills, the city offers a compact tour, where you can easily pass from the arcades of the centre to the gardens and the fortified remains.
