Parma, Italy

Music & Arts Tour in Parma

Parma's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Parma is an elegant Emilian city of Romanesque churches, Correggio frescoes, and the world's finest food — Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, and Barilla pasta all originate here.

Top Music & Arts Tour Spots

•Palazzo della Pilotta and Galleria Nazionale — a massive unfinished Farnese palace housing the national gallery with works by Correggio, Parmigianino, and Leonardo, plus the Teatro Farnese wooden theater
•Mercato Albinelli — a covered market since 1930 selling Parmigiano-Reggiano, culatello, and Parma ham in the city that holds the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy title

Hidden Music & Arts Tour Gems

•Camera di San Paolo — a small room in a former convent with a remarkable ceiling frescoed by Correggio, often missed by visitors who focus on the cathedral
