The area around Via San Pio X, KNOWN AS CITTÀ GIARDINO, in the southwest quadrant of Padua (between Sacra Famiglia, Santa Croce, and the Prato della Valle area), is generally considered one of the city’s most well-balanced residential areas. Its main strengths are as follows:

In just a few minutes, you can reach iconic landmarks such as Prato della Valle, the Santo, and the university district.
• A green and peaceful residential neighborhood
It is an area with plenty of urban greenery, tree-lined avenues, and neighborhood parks. This makes the area popular with families, professionals, and people seeking a high quality of life.

Supermarkets, pharmacies, schools, and shops are all easily accessible on foot or by bike.
