Welcome to the International Ladies Group of Padova.
Friendship, support, and community for women living in Padova and the surrounding area.
Who we are
As women who have made Padova our home, we understand that relocating to a new city and culture can be both exciting and overwhelming. Connecting with women who have already experienced this transition can make settling in much easier. We hope to support you and your family during this journey, introduce you to the beautiful city of Padova and its surroundings, and help you make lasting friendships along the way.

Making Padova Your Home
Discover the beauty, culture, and rhythm of our vibrant city.
Padova is a city rich in history, art, and lively piazzas, but navigating a new Italian city can feel overwhelming at first.
Through our diverse activities, from guided city walking tours to monthly coffees right in the heart of Padova Centro, we help you discover the hidden gems of our beautiful city and the surrounding Euganean Hills.
Let us help you turn Padova from a new location into your true home.
Our group's year runs from September to June. Throughout the year, we host special annual events, including exhibitions, trips, and luncheons.
If you arrive over the summer, things will be a little quieter, but we're always happy to hear from you!
