Description

We'll meet at Piazza Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa to provide you with bicycles for a delightful and eco-friendly journey to explore Parma's cityscape and its delectable cuisine.

During the bike ride, we'll encounter Parmesan cheese and ham, as well as historical and artistic heritage. The route includes stunning palaces, churches, and theaters. Key sites include the Palazzo Ducale, a 16th-century architectural work by Jacopo Vignola, the Palazzo della Pilotta, and the Teatro Farnese.

We'll stop at the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and its baptistery before tasting prosciutto from Parma and Parmesan cheese, paired with a glass of wine. This reflects Parma’s designation as a Creative City of Gastronomy in 2015.

To conclude the tour, we'll visit a local pastry shop to sample the Duchess Cake, made with hazelnuts, custard, liqueur, and chocolate ganache. The tour lasts 3 and a half hours, concluding at the starting point where the bikes will be returned.
