The best area to stay in Parma is the historic city centre, known locally as the Centro Storico.


This central area is contained within the ancient city walls, making it very walkable and easy to navigate. It's home to Parma's most significant landmarks, such as the Parma Cathedral and the Baptistery, both located in the Piazza Duomo. You'll find charming cobbled streets, elegant boutiques, and plenty of traditional trattorias and cafes. Via Emilia, the main thoroughfare, runs right through the heart of it, connecting many of the city's key points.


For couples looking for a romantic getaway, the Oltretorrente district, just across the Parma river from the main historic centre, offers a slightly quieter yet equally appealing option. It's characterised by narrower streets, artisan workshops, and more independent eateries, giving it a distinct local feel. The Parco Ducale, a large public park with a beautiful palace, is also located here, superb for a leisurely stroll.


Families travelling with children might prefer staying closer to the Giardini Pubblici (Public Gardens) area, which is still within easy reach of the main attractions but offers more green space for children to play.
