Abano Terme is a charming spa town close to Padua in northern Italy, just under an hour from Venice. There have been thermal baths in the area since Roman times and the area has remained a popular spa resort ever since.
Aside from the cathedral and the Montirone gallery there is little on offer in terms of sightseeing, so if you get fed up of wallowing in the thermal waters (unlikely) then Padua, just ten minutes away by car, is worth a visit. Here there are a number of places to visit for art and history buffs, including the Scrovegni chapel home to a cycle of frescos by Giotto, the Basilica of St. Anthony and the Palazzo della Ragione. Otherwise just go for a wander through the porticoes of the town centre and enjoy an ice cream or a coffee in one of its many cafes.
It goes without saying that if you have time a visit to Venice is a must. You can get a train and be there in forty minutes.
