Milan is connected to the rest of Northern Italy via the A4 and A8 motorways. Taking the A4 one can easily reach the beautiful Po Valley, which extends for some 650 km or 400 miles from the Western Alps to the Adriatic Sea. The Po River has its source in the Western Alps and with a rental car from Sixt Milan Malpensa Airport exploring this area of outstanding natural beauty is not just convenient, but also quite economical, since travelling as a family by public transport can be quite exhausting as well as expensive.

The Po Valley is criss-crossed by a large number of rivers and streams that have their origins in the Alps, making this an ideal area for hiking, walking and climbing holidays not to mention being a perfect destination for those who enjoy days out in a kayak or canoe.

For travellers who love exploring rural landscapes, trying out romantic country inns and cosy village restaurants, the eastern Piedmont region is a great holiday choice. The Piedmont region is dominated by rice fields, lending an unexpected exotic feel to the otherwise traditional Italian landscape, where red-roofed old farmhouses nestle into shallow valleys, surrounded gently undulating hills and rolling, verdant fields that are criss-crossed by waterways.

While it is possible to travel by train to the city of Cremona, which is the capital of the Cremona province and an integral part of the Southern Lombardy region, hiring a car from Sixt makes the trip far more enjoyable. Cremona is mainly famous for its involvement in the development and making of famous string instruments such as violins. Cremona’s violin manufacture started in the first half of the 16^th and the city’s most famous makers originated from the Amati and Stradivari families.

A whole museum is devoted to the latter. Cremona’s famous Stradivari Museum has delighted music aficionados since 1893, when Giovanni Battista Cerani donated his entire collection of artefacts, moulds, patterns and instruments to the city.

For those who prefer cosmopolitan city life to rural tranquillity, there are the delights of Turin, the main commercial and cultural centre of the Piedmont region. Reknown for its art galleries, palaces, splendid piazzas and palazzos, Turin is also boasting wonderful restaurants, markets, libraries, museums, elegant gardens and stunning Baroque as well as neo-classical and Art Nouveau buildings, not to mention a plethora of interesting shops.
