With the same ticket I visited the chapel which has a limited number of places and a stay timer. The museum, the art gallery and the Zuckermann palace with a large collection of numismatics, furniture, clothing, weapons and works of art. If you are an art lover you cannot visit Padua and miss these visits.

Unmissable, worth the trip. Don't leave without booking your visit in advance! A quarter of an hour of film on the chapel, in the module equipped for air purification. Then a quarter of an hour's visit where you constantly look upwards to admire Giotto's masterpiece. Don't miss a single second of this wonderful vision.

There is no need to dwell on the beauty and artistic value which are beyond question. Having arrived in Padua as a group (after having booked the visit some time ago), the very good local guide points out to us that we will only be able to stay inside for 15 minutes. During this very short time the lady tries to condense and convey to us the main and indispensable knowledge, when, after 13 minutes a bell rings and we are invited to leave without too many compliments. Magical place for its beauty, shame about the incorrect management....

An unforgettable visit. The organization of ticket sales/entry times is excellent, the video presentation of the opera is excellent and then the chapel takes your breath away. The visit to the attached museums is also very interesting. To be remembered for a lifetime

Despite the pouring rain, we didn't miss the Scrovegni Chapel! You need an entrance ticket (the entrance ticket includes several attractions) and you can't go directly into the chapel. In a modern extension to the chapel there is a video presentation with detailed information on the history of the chapel, the extension also serves as a lock to protect the highly sensitive frescoes from temperature and humidity fluctuations.

The chapel contains a fresco cycle by Giotto, completed around 1305. The frescoes are about the life of Christ, the life of the Virgin Mary, the last judgement, the vices and virtues. Giotto worked on the frescoes with around 40 collaborators, from 1303 to 1305. The apse was reworked about 20 years later, and the frescoes here are by an unknown master (Master of the Scrovegni Choir). This chapel is the only UNESCO site in Padova where a booking for a specific date and time is requested: you must be outside the chapel about 10 minutes before your booked time. Groups of maximum 25 people are allowed to enter. Visitor will then wait for fifteen minutes in an equipped room, to allow their body humidity to be lowered and any accompanying smog dust to be filtered out. A video (in Italian, subtitled in English) is shown on the history and significance of the chapel. After this, visitor will enter the chapel and they can stay there for 15 minutes. The Cappella degli Scrovegni is part since 2021 of Padua's fourteenth-century fresco cycles UNESCO world heritage site, together with Church of the Eremitani, Palazzo della Ragione, Chapel of the Carraresi Palace, Cathedral Baptistery, Basilica and Monastery of St. Anthony, Oratory of St. George, Oratory of St.Michael. A cumulative ticket called “Urbis Picta” (painted town) is available to visit all the UNESCO sites in Padova.

The Scrovegni Chapel does not require much comment from an artistic point of view because its cycle of frescoes by Giotto is considered one of the masterpieces of Western art and, seen in person, truly takes your breath away. The visit begins with a presentation of the works in a conditioned environment that has been designed to avoid contamination that could damage the work and for the same reason the visiting period is limited to a quarter of an hour. To fully enjoy the visit, more time would be needed but, if you can, you can take two successive slots online to have at least half an hour (clearly doubling the ticket!).

I really can’t speak highly enough about this. Breathtaking just doesn’t do justice to what you see in that chapel. And to think it was nearly demolished! Worth the trip and the wait and everything else to see this. One of the most amazing old art type attractions I’ve ever seen.

After a wait of about fifteen minutes, you can enter and the masterpiece of Giotto and his workshop appears. Fantastic! It's a shame that you can only stay for another fifteen minutes in addition to the initial wait where you can also watch an interesting film. Pretty. Breathtakingly beautiful!

Stunning frescoes by Giotto, with a fantastic representation of the Last Judgment, in all its "crudeness" and religiosity. It almost seems like a miracle that they have reached us so well preserved. Thanks to all those who, over the centuries and currently, have done their utmost and continue to preserve this great work of art.
