Padua to explore, Abano to experience: where wellness meets art and thermal waters
Proximity as a Privilege
Sometimes we search far for what is already close. The Civic Museums of Padua invite us to embrace slow discovery — the kind that doesn’t require flights or long journeys.
From the AbanoRitz, just half a day is enough to be filled with wonder and then pampered by thermal waters and the quiet serenity of our park.
The Healing Power of Beauty
Science confirms it: contact with art and nature boosts positive emotions, reduces stress, and improves our overall wellbeing.
Visiting an exhibition, contemplating an ancient painting, or walking among the remains of lost civilizations is a form of care — just like immersing yourself in our thermal treatments.
At the AbanoRitz, wellness is composed of small, accessible luxuries: the pleasure of a massage, the view over the Euganean Hills, a slow breakfast, and a cultural outing in the heart of Padua.
It’s about balance: between the good and the beautiful, between what nourishes and what inspires us.
A New Concept of Wellness
At the AbanoRitz, we believe wellness means balance — between body and mind, art and nature, culture and rest. The Civic Museums of Padua are a natural extension of this experience. Because true beauty makes us feel alive.
Wellness here goes beyond relaxation: it’s the harmony between beautiful things and good things. Between thermal pools, skilled therapists, and the joy of discovery. Between the silence of the park, the charm of the Euganean Hills, and the wonder of a 14th-century fresco.
The Civic Museums of Padua are a treasure within reach — a heritage that belongs to us all, and that every guest can experience in a personal, meaningful way.
Just 15 minutes away, Padua offers a true cultural gem: the Civic Museum circuit, 10 remarkable sites that tell the story of a refined, vibrant, and historic city:
