Breakfast at the hotel. Transfer to Parma where you will meet your guide for a private walking tour (entrance mu­seum/monuments included). Parma is a town in Emilia-Romagna that we really recommend to everyone, small and compact on a world scale but which at the same time preserves works of considerable artistic importance within its historic centre. This town is ideal for those who want to take a day trip because you can comfortably visit in one day. Join this walking tour with a local tourist guide and explore the beauty of the town. Discover the Medieval era, the rich heritage of Renaissance art, the splendour of the Farnese era, the Bourbon reconstruction of the state, the happy period under the dominion of the Duchess Maria Luigia of Austria and finally the contemporary era. Fol­low the tourist guide and visit the Abbey of San Giovanni Evangelista, the central Piazza Duomo and its monuments, such as the Basilica of Santa Maria della Steccata. Also admire the Teatro Regio, Palazzo della Pilotta and Palazzo Ducale. Discover their stories and their importance in the city thanks to the guide’s story. After the visit, light lunch with tasting of traditional products including a typical Parma first course of homemade pasta, tasting of raw ham and other typical cured meats including Coppa and Parmigiano Reggiano with fried Crescentine and Focaccia with a glass of wine and water. After light lunch, transfer back to Bologna hotel for overnight stay. (B, T/L)
