...by car
The motorway exit we recommend is Padova Est. From there, follow the signs for the city centre (centro cittĂ ). Please notice that you cannot enter the historic city centre by car: electronic devices are placed on the main accesses to the walled city and fines can be very high (approximately 80 euros). Note that the railway and coach stations are just outside the city centre, and there are ample parking spaces nearby. Park Sarpi is the nearest to the conference venue but it's open only on working days. Park Valeri is also quite close and it's open on Saturday and Sunday too.
