My husband and I are bringing our two teenagers to Italy in early March. We like hiking, wandering around cities, trying local foods, and visiting art museums. We are starting our trip in Cinque Terre and ending in Venice and are planning to rent a car to travel between (NOT IN!) the two cities.
Any recommendations for a good two-night stop on the way? I was considering Padua because a town full of university students sounded fun and the medical museum and botanical garden meet the interests of my two kids. . . but I'm open to other ideas.
Alternatively, I read about Franceschetta 58 in Modena and thought we might enjoy a stop centered around eating there, but I don't know anything else about the area.
