Po, a river to experience.

The italian longest river offers you unforgettable moments.

Pavia, Lodi, Cremona, Mantua. Along these four provinces the longest river in Italy flows: the Po.

The slow flow of the river dominates everything, while the poplarand the herons flights accompany those who run, those who ride a bike and those who simply walk along its banks.

Yes, because there are so many activities to do along the "Great river". There are over 2000 kilometers of flat paths, immersed in nature and far from the noise of the city.
In particular, the cycle paths through the province of Cremona represent an unusual way to know and appreciate this area living it from a different point of view, that of the river Po.

Routes that branch off along a thick network of cycle paths and along country roads. And for those who would like to enjoy the tranquility of the river from a different perspective, what about taking a river mini-cruise?

From the tourist harbour of Cremona, on motorboats or pontoons it is possible to sail the river, spend a day discovering the green Po Valley or sport fishing, stop for a bike ride, a tour accompanied by local guides, a lunch in a typical trattoria to discover the most authentic flavors of this stretch of Lombardy in a day of pure relax.
