Mantua and its province is the Touring Club Italiano, Italy’s leading travel publisher, guide to exploring the history, culture, food and wine, walking opportunities, local markets and festivals of the region. The guide has been designed for independent travellers with in-depth information and advice about how to make the most of a visit. A detailed introduction explores the history, culture and attractions of the area including information about the environment, history and art and advice for first-time visitors to Mantua.

The guide is structured in three main sections - an Introduction, Itineraries and Information for Travellers and Index - providing a comprehensive exploration of the region. The Itineraries section is divided into 2 main sections - Mantua and The Province of Mantua - taking in the historic city as well as outlying regions such as the area south of the Oglio river and the left bank of the Mincio river. Each section has area profiles, colour maps showing town and building plans, detailed descriptions of the history and heritage of the area, suggested day-trips and details of the main attractions in the area. Individual information boxes help provide further insight into the history of the region.


There are also thematic itineraries which explore gastronomic routes, cycle routes around the province and also local celebrations and festivals. A reference section at the back of the book provides an A-Z of practical information including where to stay, where to eat, contact details and opening times, local amenities, useful addresses, and an index of places and notable points of interest. An overview map of the region is also included in the inside-front cover.
