Bologna beneath the porticoes
Use the city for wandering and food discoveries, with restaurant suggestions reflecting your preferences rather than a generic tasting checklist.

Emilia-Romagna, through food, art and city life.
This is a region to explore with an appetite and some restraint in the schedule. Choose a few cities that fit your interests, balancing food traditions with architecture, mosaics and time to sit down without rushing onward.
Make this region yoursA place to begin. Room to make it yours.
These are ideas for a private journey, not a fixed departure. We shape your route, hotels and experiences around your interests, pace and anything you have already booked.
A family connection, a celebration, an accessibility need or an unusual request? Tell Fred. We explore the possibilities and practical limits before preparing your personal proposal.
A few ways to find your Emilia-Romagna.
Parma and its food heritage
Build a day around the town and the regional specialties that interest you, checking any producer visit before including it.
Ravenna's mosaic art
Choose a focused group of mosaic sites and leave space to enjoy the city around them, rather than filling every hour with interiors.
A little thought makes room for more.
We discuss these practical points together, so your days feel like a holiday.
- Do not combine every food-production visit in one day; some experiences may require early starts or travel outside the city.
- Use rail where it fits, then assess separate transport for countryside visits and restaurant locations.
Your route can start here.

Your dates, route, room choices and experiences shape the total. Linked journey examples have their own durations and indicative budgets; they are not a price for every trip in this region.
The right table. Your trip in your pocket.
We suggest restaurants for your tastes and budget, refine the shortlist with you, and handle the reservation requests you approve. Tables depend on availability; meals are separate unless specified.
Your agreed day-by-day itinerary, maps and reservation information come together in the Chic Trip app. The example screens illustrate the app, not confirmed bookings for this region.
