The presence of rivers Po, Oglio, Serio and Adda gives the Cremonese countryside a unique charm, the neatly trimmed beauty of a poplar top-lined scene.
The landscape is remarkable; in it the need for agricultural activities goes perfectly well with the care for the environment.
Parks such as Parco del Serio, Parco dell'Oglio, Tenuta del Boscone or Oasi Le Bine are the expression of a desire, came true, to preserve and safeguard the Po plain landscape in its authentic features, given the deep changes it underwent because of productive priorities.
The slow flow or river Po, laden with history and charm, is the great thoroughfare of nature. It is thanks to the river, used as a trade route ever since Roman times, that Cremona became the pivotal city for commerce until the late Middle Ages.
If the river today is no longer used for trade purposes, the touristic value that the Great River exerts at National and International level is incredible: on a cruise boat it is possible to sail downstream to the Delta and Venice, or spend one or more days at the discovery of the fertile Po area.
The offer range is well suited to the most diverse requirements: on motorboats or pontoons you will experience life on the river and you’ll enjoy its bustling nature.
Boat trips can be completed with bicycle excursions or guided tours of the city, or even charter fishing. Besides river Po, river Adda is also a popular destination for river excursions between the provinces of Cremona and Lodi.
