If you plan to visit the Cappella degli Scrovegni, please note that the tour must be reserved, because the people flow is limited in order to preserve the frescoes in the chapel. Further information can be found here. You should also participate in the Padova social ritual, the aperitivo known simply as spritz. It is best enjoyed in one of the ''piazze'' in the core of the city, like Piazza delle Erbe often crowded with students and people back from an afternoon walk downtown. If you are fond of Venice, it can be easily reached by train (see here for the timetable, you can buy tickets also at the newsstand in the main hall of the train station).
