Similarly, don't miss a chance to see a Parma ham factory and taste the thinnest melt-in-your-mouth slices. Pick a tour that best matches your budget, interests and time frame.

Kamoung Baru hosts a weekly night market that sells clothing and handicrafts.

Emerging from the placid waters just like the nearby National Museum, the National Theatre is one of the biggest theatres in the Arab world.
