Parma owes its historical importance to its vital strategic position - set on the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrim's route from Canterbury to Rome, it was effectively on the main road from northern to southern Europe. With the Via Emilia running east to west just north of the city, Parma was at the crossroads of the continent. Sights to see in the town are many, with a fine Romanesque cathedral (the Duomo), the 12th century Baptistery by Antelami (one of the major medieval buildings in Europe), the Museum House of Toscanini and the Monastery of St Paul (with frescoes by Correggio and Araldi).

Parma, and its home region of Emilia-Romagna, are also rightly famed for the excellence of their cuisine. You'll find this Parma hotel superbly placed for discovering some fine restaurants - the front desk staff will be happy to offer advice.
