Our qualified Parma guide will lead you into a real treasure hunt among the most iconic deli boutiques of the town, pieces of general information, descriptions of the locals’ lifestyle, anecdotes about Parma’s legendary personalities and precious suggestions for shopping in the arts and crafts district.

Between a stop at a bottega storica brimming with Parmigiani and Prosciutti, a well-wishing prayer at one of the many panini temples and a peaceful incursion into the guide’s preferred deli to grab some tortelli or anolini for the day, you will also hear about the historical and artistic heritage of the petite Versailles. Indeed, with its 1.000- year-old ensemble of Cathedral and Baptistery, its gracious Renaissance frescoes on the cupolas, the stunning wooden architecture of Teatro Farnese and the neoclassic Teatro Regio wrapped in the unmistakable yellow nuance called Giallo Parma, the town is a miniature summary of all the epoques and styles that have made Italy the fundamental stop of each European Grand Tour.

Goes without saying: espresso as well as a delicious typical dessert will also be part of the temptations to indulge upon…

…*And what if we told you that you could request to enjoy most of the mentioned local bites in the secret cellars of a 16^th-century palace at a very, very special table? No more spoilers…just ask and see!
