2025 Cremona Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

I went to northern Italy to see a friend from my time studying abroad in Malta. My friend came to pick me up, and we went to a town called Cremona together while catching up on recent happenings. Cremona is a town famous for violins, and was the setting for Kiki's Delivery Service. I climbed the largest tower in Italy in the beautiful city of Cremona. It's a beautiful spot with a panoramic view of the city of Cremona. The inside is like a museum. Inside the Cremona Tower, photos look great no matter where you take them. The buildings in Cremona have historic exteriors, and made me feel like I was in Italy. #overseastravel #photogenicspot #italy #italytrip #cremona #kiki'sdeliveryservice

#Overseas Travel In Cremona, Italy, although the violin is the protagonist of this small town, you must also visit the Cremona Cathedral! The Cremona Cathedral is the most important landmark of Cremona. Construction began in 1107 and was completed around 1160-1170. It is a classic Romanesque building that was later rebuilt many times and incorporated Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. The 112.7-meter-high bell tower next to it is quite impressive. It is the second tallest brick bell tower in the world. The astronomical clock on the 4th floor of the bell tower was installed in the late 16th century and is the largest astronomical clock in the world! 📍 Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta Piazza del Comune, 26100 Cremona #ItalianTravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

#italytrip Cremona is a city and comune in northern Italy, situated in Lombardy, on the left bank of the Po river in the middle of the Pianura Padana (Po Valley) in Italy 🇮🇹. Cremona was repeatedly sacked by the Goths and the Huns before being rebuilt by the Lombards in the 7th century. A bishopric since the 9th century and an independent commune after 1098, it initially supported Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa in his conflict with the Lombards out of hostility to Milan, but it finally joined the Lombard League (an alliance of northern Italian towns) in 1167. The city was controlled by the Visconti family and, later, by the Sforzas, of Milan, from 1334 to 1535, except for a period of Venetian rule (1499–1509). It was Spanish from 1535 and Austrian after 1707; its later history followed that of Lombardy. And it is a beautiful city with the surrounding of nice people and historic places. #italytrip #localguides
