Parma itself is a magnificent and very ancient city and with much to discover. An important centre in the northern Italian region of Emilia Romagna, it traces its roots back to the pre-Roman Etruscan civilisation that peopled central and northern Italy. It then became a thriving possession of Rome and, with its vital strategic position on both the Via Emilia and the Via Francigena, Parma effectively became the crossroads of Europe - an important staging post on the pilgrim's road that linked Canterbury in England to Rome.

The legacy is many important churches, the fine 12th century Cathedral and Baptistery, magnificent architecture that spans the medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods, and important artworks including Correggio's frescoes. There is the Farnese Theatre and the National Gallery. Parma is also famous for its food and the city centre has many excellent restaurants.
