We are going from Venice to Ferrara, but want to spend time in Padua on the way. Or, would it be better to just go to Ferrara (we have 2 nights there) and day trip to Padua?
Yes, there's a bag storage office at platform 1. Rick's book says that they close at 6:00 p.m., so confirm timing when you leave the bags. Photo ID required.
Thank you so much!
Charlotte,
Another option would be to visit Padua as a day trip from Venice, an easy 30 minute train ride.
If you have the time you may consider visiting Ravenna from Ferrara.
Have a wonderful trip!
Edited to add...
If you plan to visit the beautiful Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, make sure you book your tickets in advance!
