When planning a trip to Italy, you should consider Mantua as a "not to be missed" and pleasent stay in your itinerary.
According to the Frommer's Guide, Mantua is "one of Lombardy's finest cities is in the farthest reaches of the region, making it a logical addition to a trip to Venice or Parma as well as to Milan".
Mantua in the south of Lombardy is wedged between Emilia and Veneto regions as a borderline province. The city and its territory can be easily reached for a stay that will not disappoint visitors.
Mantua is also an ideal destination for a one-day excursion, departing from the surrounding cities such as Brescia, Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Ferrara, Modena, Parma, and Cremona. The Garda Lake is only 40 minutes away.
Venice is 160 km (100 miles); Milan 180 (112 miles). Both are about 2 hours by bus. From Mantua it is also possible to reach Ferrara and Venice by ship with private river cruises.
