Safety in Padua always pleases tourists. The well-known tense criminal situation typical of large Italian cities is not characteristic of Padua. The city is relatively small, so in terms of safety there is almost complete idyll here. It is even difficult to say which areas of Padua are considered dangerous.
You should be a bit more attentive in the area of the railway and bus stations. Here you could become a victim of pickpocketing, other petty theft, or fraud, but this happens much less frequently than in large cities. Most often, such offenses are committed by teenagers.
If you contact the police, issues are resolved very quickly. Therefore, tourists only need to follow basic safety rules.
