The northen Italy town of Cremona is often overlooked by tourists but well worth a visit. Famous for its high-quality violins, Cremona has been a music town since the 16th century and its Civic Museum has a good display dedicated to Stradivarius violins.
Cremona's Cathedral, whose bell tower is the second tallest brick tower in Europe and Europe's oldest surviving tower over 100 meters tall, sits on the picturesque main square. The bell tower houses the world's largest astronomical clock. You can climb to the tower's top for great views.
My friends recently visited Cremona and recommend staying at Albergo Visconti. Although the hotel is outside the historic center, the hotel provides bicycles so you can easily ride to the sights. Cremona is a great town for cycling and you'll fit right in with the locals. My friends also said the hotel breakfast is great.
