If you are interested in exploring the Veneto region of Italy, consider Due Carrare for your home base. The town is located in the Padua province, just 40 kilometers from Venice and a mere 15 kilometers from Padua. The relatively small town has about 8,500 people, making it large enough to have attractive budget hotels, but small enough to avoid the feeling that you are in a touristy area.

Due Carrare is known largely for being the birthplace of the Carraresi family, the noble clan that became the rulers of Padua in the 14th century. In the San Pelagio neighborhood, look for the Castello di San Pelagio, or town’s castle, which is also called Villa Zaborra. Inside, there is the Museo dell’Aria e dello Spazio, or the Museum of Air and Space, which commemorates the 1918 flight of Gabriele D’Annuzio. The town of Due Carrare borders several other towns that you may want to visit as well: Abano Terme, Battaglia Terme, and Montegtrotto Terme in particular offer their thermal baths as a relaxing choice for a distraction from sightseeing.
