Parma from a different point of view

A special itinerary, a Parma city tour different from the usual…Forget about historical monuments, let’s hit the city hidden corners!

A customised Parma city tour for people looking for off the beaten track gems. Among the suggestions Saint John the Evangelist Monastery, like a light in the darkness  during Middle Age, a reality of impressive size and richness, right in downtown Parma. Inside its walls, still nowadays, the old Pharmacy, the frescos by Parmigianino and Correggio or the XVI century Library are preserved. While strolling around and talking  about the most important passages of the local history, you will be able to admire the impressive Public Garden with its lush trees and grand Palace, once used as summer residence by the local dynasty. We will loose ourselves in the maze-like alleys where here and there old workshops pop up together with old stories and traditions. Recently restored but hidden at the sight the 2000 years old roman bridge can also be found. The Steccata church  guards jealously  its exceptional frescos by Parmigianino and many other local artists. This is just a hint of what there is to see in Parma. What are you waiting for?!
