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

Parma is renowned for its Parmesan cheese and ham, as well as its rich historical and artistic heritage. On our bike ride, we'll pass by palaces, churches, and theaters while enjoying Parma's gastronomy.

During our ride, we'll see the Palazzo Ducale, a 16th-century masterpiece by architect Jacopo Vignola, and the iconic Palazzo della Pilotta and Teatro Farnese.

We'll stop to admire the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and its baptistery before tasting authentic prosciutto from Parma and Parmesan cheese. This will be complemented with a glass of wine, illustrating why Parma was designated as the Creative City of Gastronomy in 2015.
