Mercato Sotto il Salone
For 800 years now, this market in Padua, known throughout Italy, has been delighting locals. In fact, it is said to be the oldest covered market in Europe still in operation.

Foodies take note: coffee and pastries are also available. It’s the perfect place to combine business with pleasure in a historic setting.
