Of all the countries in the world famous for their food, Italy just might top the list. Sample some of this beloved cuisine on a day trip from Milan to Parma, the Italian town famed for its Prosciutto di Parma (ham) and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. As you travel through this area that is often considered the Food Valley of Italy, you’ll admire beautiful architecture, hear about its ancient past, and delight in the Parma Ham Museum and the Museum of Parmigiano Reggiano.
Your full-day Italian culinary adventure from Milan takes you to Parma for a guided walking tour of the city center. Parma is an ancient city famous for its food, its rich gastronomical tradition and its university, one of the oldest in the world; you’ll tour the city with your knowledgeable local guide and unlock its treasures.
Next, you'll be whisked off to Felino Castle, where you'll enjoy a castle tour. For an additional entrance fee, food-lovers may also visit the nearby Museum of Felino Salame. Then feast on delicious lunch (additional cost) in the castle’s quaint restaurant, Locanda del Castello.
