Discover Cremona

Cremona is the city of the three "T's": turòon, Turàs, Tugnàs, that is the nougat, its most typical sweet, the Torrazzo, the high bell tower that rises next to the Cathedral, and Tognazzi, because here the great actor and director Ugo Tognazzi was born. Located along the left bank of the Po, Cremona is rich in history, culture and natural beauty, which will give you the opportunity to learn the art of violin making, visit the oldest pile-dwelling settlement in the world and take the whole family on a trip to the park of Prehistory of Rivolta d'Adda (CR) where you expect the king of dinosaurs: the T-Rex! Book your stay at the B&B Hotel Cremona: it is the perfect starting point to discover the city!

History and curiosities

Founded by the Romans in 218 B.C., Cremona is known throughout the world for the honey and toasted almond notes of its nougat, which you can taste and buy as a tasty souvenir in the many shops scattered around the city. If you love boiled meats, you can't miss its famous mustard produced both in the sweet and in the spicy version. And if you happen to be at the Civic Museum, visit the Ponzone Wing: you will get to know the "Vegetable joke", a gem of the Arcimboldo, known for its paintings of fruit and vegetables!
