Reggio Emilia is a maze of parks, cloisters and piazzas bursting with culture and just waiting to be explored.
Outstanding food, piazzas lined with churches, courtyards hidden away inside ancient palaces and so much more! Reggio Emilia is a compact little city where you can explore incredible locations, such as the old Jewish ghetto and its synagogue.
Do not miss in Reggio Emilia:
- The Basilica della Ghiara and the Chiesa del Cristo church.
- The cathedral in Piazza Prampolini.
- The Piazza Cittadina di Fontanesi, where you can enjoy a delicious aperitif and appetisers such as the famous ‘gnocco fritto’ bread or ‘erbazzone’ savoury tart, pumpkin tortellini, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and all washed down with a glass of Lambrusco wine.
- The Parco del Popolo with its centuries-old trees.
- The San Pietro cloisters as well as Palazzo Magnani and the Spazio Gerra cultural centre.
- We recommend a trip to nearby Brescello, famous for the Italian films set here, as well as a visit to Fidenza Village or Mantua Outlet Village shopping centres with designer labels at incredible prices!
