Padova is probably best known for Saint Anthony's (Sant'Antonio) cathedral.
Padova has the second oldest university in the world
Roman ruins (although nothing much compared to others such as the Arena in Verona or those in Rome).
A pleasant local tradition is the spritz or aperitif in one of the central piazzas (piazza delle erbe or piazza della frutta), between 7 and 8 in the evening. There are lots of students and young people, which makes for a very pleasant atmosphere.

Nearby attractions:

The Colli Euganei are low hills to the west of town with some nice trails to hike on, and other equally nice restaurants to eat at after a day of walking.

Abano Terme is a small resort town especially popular with elderly German tourists based on the thermal spas in the area.

Arqua Petrarca is a beautifully preserved medieval town nestled in the hills, which is probably best known for being the final resting place of the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch in English).
