The Deepest Pool in the World
We understand that many visitors to Italy want to see cathedrals and the best, freshest pasta the entire planet has to offer. When visiting the origins of pizza and gelato, however, you’ll also come across attractions that are designed to make the heart pump. The Y-40 Deep Joy pool is in Padua is the perfect example.

With a depth of 42 meters, this pool can be a bit daunting, but some of you adrenaline junkies might get a thrill out of your visit. The pool first opened in 2014, and it has since been inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records. The project was originally designed for divers, making it a popular destination for water sports aficionados.
