When is the best time to book outdoor activities in Emilia-Romagna?

Spring and early autumn give the most comfortable temperatures for cycling, walking and riding, while coastal salt-pan visits are especially rewarding during bird migration. Summer works well for early-morning or late-afternoon departures, and winter suits truffle hunting in the Parma hills.

About Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna rewards travellers who step outside the city gates, from the salt flats and wetlands along the Adriatic coast to the wooded Apennine hills above Bologna and Parma.
