Overview
Discover the charm of Reggio Emilia, birthplace of the Italian tricolour flag, on this 3.5-hour walking tour blending history, culture, and the flavors of Emilia-Romagna. Walk through the historic center with a local guide and learn about the city’s past, from its Roman origins to its role in Italian unification. Visit Sala del Tricolore, where the Italian flag was first adopted in 1797, and discover the story behind this national symbol. Along the way, taste regional specialties. Enjoy a tasting of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia and, from February to November, sample craft gelato from a local gelateria. The tour ends with a relaxed aperitivo featuring local cured meats, cheeses, and a slice of erbazzone, paired with a glass of regional wine such as Lambrusco or Spergola—a perfect introduction to local flavors. This easy walk covers about 3.5 km through the city center. Comfortable shoes are recommended, and the tour suits families and travelers of all ages.
