Travel Tips
Since Ancient times, the city of Parma has been considered Italy’s gastronomic capital. Nestled in the Po Valley in the heart of the province, it is the wellspring for a bewildering number of Italian delicacies: prosciutto di Parma, Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and tortelli to name but a few. Parma is the city of good food, bicycles, boutiques, small houses painted in light colors, and of course, magnificent palazzos.

Travel Tips
A small resort with a big reputation, Sorrento is a town of lemons, high-pedigree hotels and plunging cliffs that cut through the heart of the historical core. The groves are criss-crossed by donkey paths and marked hiking trails. It was a compulsory stop on the 19th-century 'Grand Tour' and interest in the town was first sparked by the poet Byron, who inspired a long line of holidaying literary geniuses – including Goethe, Dickens and Tolstoy – to sample the Sorrentine air. The romance persists.
