Visit the deserted Lagoon to the north, still preserving a rich wild fauna, surviving to the noises of the over-crowded city. Your cruise will then continue along the Rivera del Brenta, through the fascinating towns of Mira, Dolo, Strà, offering marvellous villas and enchanting gardens, the nobles’ favourite holiday mansions.
Padova is considered one of the most beautiful art cities of the Veneto region; you will get here cruising along the Brenta Naviglio; you will have the chance to take a walk into the historical centre, through beautiful squares, the Basilica of St. Antonio, the famous Scrovegni Chapel and many other art treasures.
