Visiting the University
More than eight hundred years of history, science, education, discoveries, ideas and achievements make up an exceptional heritage, which in our University also is embodied in places, objects and works that bear witness to centuries of history.
It is possible to visit a substantial part of the artistic and cultural heritage of the University. Historic buildings, museums and gardens open to the public to tell the story of the university and, at the same time, of the city.
With a single ticket you can visit two or three Unipd cultural sites among Palazzo Bo, Botanical Garden and Museum of Nature and Humankind, both with either an individual ticket or a family ticket.
