What is the best time to book activities in Reggio Emilia?

For first-timers, booking a guided tour on your first day is ideal to get oriented. Many experiences are available year-round, but spring and fall offer pleasant weather for walking tours. Since most activities have free cancellation, you can book in advance for peace of mind and adjust if your plans change.

How do I choose between the different first-timer experiences?

Consider your interests: if you love food, choose a tasting tour like the Parmigiano Reggiano & Balsamic Vinegar tour or a food-and-history walking tour. If you prefer stories and mysteries, opt for the 'Secret Side' or 'Tales of Pestilence' tours. For a mix of history and innovation, the Reggiane Workshops tour is unique.
