Parma is located in northern Italy, in Emilia-Romagna, halfway between Bologna and Milan. This elegant city owes its refined atmosphere - one that can only be breathed in a “petite capitale” - to its 18th century bond with the French royal family: the central Parco Ducale reproduces the design of the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. With its center rich in art, parks and treasures from different ages, Parma is a very welcoming place.
Widely known for its gastronomic heritage, Parma has been selected as “food creativity town” by UNESCO, and is world-famous for products like Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Parma ham.
