Abano Terme
A famous European spa town known for its mud therapy, with many hotels offering indoor and outdoor thermal pools.
Thermal water rises from underground at more than 80°C in the Euganean Hills, and has been used since Roman times. Abano and neighbouring Montegrotto Terme have over a hundred spa hotels, most offering mud treatments, massages and day passes at about €20 to €40. The town centre's pedestrian street is pleasant for a stroll, and it makes a good base for exploring the Euganean Hills. It is about 12 km from Padua, roughly 20 minutes by train or bus.
