About Parma
Parma rewards travellers who look past the obvious: a Roman road under your feet, a medieval bishop's palace turned theatre, and food traditions guarded like heritage. History and culture here are performed as much as preserved, whether you spend five hours inside a working caseificio on the Small Group Tour: Parmigiano-Reggiano & Parma Ham Production or follow the shadows on the La Parma Noire: Uncover Parma's Dark and Mysterious History walk after dark.

Frequently asked questions
Parma's history is bound up with performance and production rather than monuments alone. Experiences here tend to be led by locals who connect the city's Roman origins, its Farnese and Bourbon chapters, and its food heritage to specific places you stand in.
