Hotel for Visitors to Padua Fairs

Hotel Giotto offers comfortable accommodation in the historic centre, making it easy to reach Padova Hall while also enjoying everything Padua has to offer beyond the exhibition venue.

Padova Hall and the Exhibition District

Padova Hall is the city’s main exhibition and conference centre, hosting trade fairs, specialist exhibitions, family events, business meetings and congresses throughout the year. Every visitor should check the correct entrance, pavilion, opening time and ticket information before arriving.

Professional and leisure visitors who prepare in advance usually make better use of their time, avoiding unnecessary queues and planning their route through the exhibition halls more efficiently.

Why Stay in the Historic Centre?

The central location is also convenient for people travelling with family members or companions. While one person attends the exhibition, others can explore Padua’s historic attractions before meeting again at the hotel.
