Boasting undeniable charm, this storybook city is home to a wealth of cultural monuments, historic sites, and architectural gems.

Padua is a city and commune in the Veneto, northern Italy. The city is picturesque, with a dense network of arcaded streets opening into large communal piazza, and many bridges crossing the various branches of the Bacchiglione, which once surrounded the ancient walls like a moat. Padua is the setting for most of the action in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

My wife and I had a marvelous trip to Italy and we will cherish the memories. Additionally, we were thoroughly pleased with our itinerary and the package that was provided by RoutePerfect. I have your website bookmarked and I will definitely be using it again in the future!

Our trip to Europe was fantastic. My husband and I wanted to plan a 2 week vacation. This was our first trip to Europe, so I had no idea how to go about planning it, let alone booking overseas hotels without wondering what kind of place I was going to end up in. I found your site on Google and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed! It was quite easy to use. The four rooms we booked for Paris, Milan, Venice and Florence were clean, well maintained and in good locations as promised.The fifth was a B&B in Rome, also in a great location and within easy walking distance of several of the sites we wanted to see. Your site really made the booking process so easy! Being able to see photos of the properties, pinpoint their locations and read reviews from other travelers gave me a sense of security that I was booking a legitimate and well tended hotel. When I emailed your site with questions, they were answered promptly by a live human. I would definitely use the site again and recommend it to anyone looking to get started on planning their own trip.
