A half-day walking tour puts the spotlight on Parma's famous cuisine with stops at the locals’ favourite eateries and shops. Explore the city's main attractions and make stops for small bites and interesting stories from food vendors. Start with a visit to a traditional Prosciutteria and try Culatello di Zibello, Salame Felino, Coppa, Culaccia and Spalla Cruda. Next, explore the selection at a fresh pasta shop and taste different ageings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese at a deli. Explore traditional bistros for a glass of exquisite wine. Try some street food from an old sandwich shop. Get a flakey dessert at a patisserie and finish with a refreshingly cool and creamy artisanal gelato.

Ca’ Pesaro is the city’s modern art museum, located in an old baroque palace facing the Grand Canal. The first floor houses 19th and 20th-century paintings and sculptures, while the upper floor is dedicated to the Oriental Art Museum, exhibiting 30,000 objects from Japan, China, and Indonesia.

Standing on the right bank of the Grand Canal, Ca' Rezzonico is one of the most magnificent buildings in the whole city, as well as a remarkable example of 18th-century Venetian baroque and rococo architecture. It was completed in 1756 and today serves as a public museum with an interesting display of 18th-century Venetian artefacts, including furniture, paintings, and sculptures.
