In Cremona, taxi service is guaranteed by two radio-taxi switchboards active 24 hours a day: Radiotaxi Consorzio Cremona (0372 807808) and the more recent Consorzio ItTaxi Cremona (0372 1978234), launched in August 2025 and also linked to the itTaxi app. The city has two staffed taxi ranks, in Piazza Roma (a short walk from the Duomo and the Torrazzo) and in Piazzale della Stazione Ferroviaria, convenient starting points for those arriving by train or wanting to visit the Museo del Violino. Fares are set by the Comune di Cremona, with rides starting at 4,60 € and night/holiday surcharges of 2,50 €. For trips to the nearest airport, Parma, there is no fixed agreed fare: it's always best to ask for an estimate when booking. Uber is only available as Uber Black with an NCC driver (hired car with driver), while for a traditional taxi via app the main choice remains itTaxi.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Parma "Giuseppe Verdi" (PMF) · ~65 km from the center
There is no fixed agreed fare for the Cremona-airport ride: the meter applies the extra-urban rate (1,80 €/km) plus any applicable time-based surcharges. Parma airport can be reached from Cremona in about 45 minutes via the A21 motorway (source: the airport's official website); it's best to ask Radiotaxi Consorzio Cremona (0372 807808) for an estimate when booking. Bergamo Orio al Serio and Milano Linate airports are more distant alternatives (about 100 km and 94 km by car, respectively).
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center's ZTL (limited traffic zone) is active with electronic gates Monday to Friday 9:00 AM-4:00 PM and Saturday, Sunday and holidays 24 hours. Taxis are authorized to transit through the ZTL and pedestrian areas exclusively for passenger transport (source: Comune di Cremona).
Practical tips
- The two official taxi ranks are in Piazza Roma (in the heart of the historic center, near the Duomo and Torrazzo) and in Piazzale Stazione: these are the most convenient starting points if you arrive by train or want to visit the Museo del Violino.
- The pedestrian historic center is protected by electronic ZTL gates active Monday-Friday 9:00 AM-4:00 PM and Saturday, Sunday and holidays 24 hours: taxis may only transit for passenger transport, not for free parking.
- There's no fixed fare for the airport: the nearest one is Parma "Giuseppe Verdi", about 45 minutes away via the A21; always ask for an estimate by phone before setting off.
- To book from your smartphone you can use the itTaxi app (active since 2025 with taxis from the new city consortium) or Uber, available only as Uber Black with an NCC driver.
- Before leaving Cremona, take home some handmade torrone (nougat): the historic pastry shops are located right around Piazza del Comune, just steps from the Torrazzo.
