Hotels near Parma Airport - PMF, Parma

Parma was a delightful surprise to us with lovely architecture, a wealth of bars and restaurants and friendly people. The food on offer was amazing and where we eventually decided to eat absolutely blew us away with the quality of the food and wine and exceptional service.

Very hot, so stayed only a few hours in Parma. We went to see the Duomo and the Battistero ((Baptistry). They were both very lovely. I enjoyed the art in the Baptistry (it's worth paying 10 Euros, Sr. rate). We looked for cheese, as that's where Parmaggiano-Reggiano is made. Asked around and found a cheese shop to buy a pound. Nice cafes and gelateria. Good shoppng. The parking garage Toschi is the best one to use for the Centro Historico.

If you want to avoid the touristy cities in Italy, Parma is the place to visit. We travelled by train from Milan, so no need for a car. Easy to walk around, plenty of history and of course the Food is what the city is most famous for.

Really enjoyed, beautiful. Very walkable. No police presence. Did not enjoy groups of 25-40 young men running around fighting. Everyone ran from the mercardo in fear when they started fighting with mask and wine bottles.

We visited all the touristic atractions, especially museums and palaces. A lot of the were with free entrance. We found very, very good restaurants, even for the best evaluated ones it is needed to reserve.

I came to embrace Parma in a week!Very walkable with interesting history & a welcoming vibe!! Would love to attend a concert at the Theater!! Medieval parade was unexpected & great! Food was outstanding! Staff suggested restaurant Geppia… incredible!!!
