Travel Guide & Information of Mantua Lombardy Italy

This description page of Mantua, in the Italian region of Lombardy, will guide you in planning your trip to Italy and help you find useful travel information about this Italian city.

Mantua is a stern, inward-looking, noble city with a strong sense of identity. Located in the southeastern part of Lombardy on a plain, and surrounded by swampy lakes, this was once a busy and prosperous port, with its access to the Po River via the Mincio. This melancholy, masculine setting, which sense of this is reinforced by its often foggy or humid weather, can seem uninviting at first. But, Mantua is a great art city and worth a visit. Thankfully, most of the wise patronage of its independent-minded rulers of yore is felt through this handsome, if seemingly somber city of about 50,000.
