Cremona is situated in the fertile Po Valley of Italy on the border between Emilia Romagna and Lombardy with cities such as Pavia and Mantova nearby. This well-kept mercantile city was an independent and wealthy city-state for centuries. In past centuries, the inhabitants here built canals enabling the land to sustain agricultural activities.
Well known globally for its violin making tradition, music and history come together here in Cremona. In the 16th–18th centuries, the Amati family and their students made violas and violins here and in the Palazzo dell’Arte, there is a museum of antique stringed instruments.
With majestic medieval architecture, the city’s historic beauty can be admired in the Piazza del Comune and in the cathedral square, the Torrazzo (apparently the highest bell tower in Italy) can be found. Here are some of the best places to stay in Cremona, Italy.
