Day 1 - Delving into Reggio Emilia's Marvelous History
Welcome to Reggio Emilia, a city seemingly untouched by time. Start your day by stepping into a breakfast café for a traditional Italian breakfast, perhaps a sweet pastry and cappuccino?

Commence the day with the serene vibes at Parco del Popolo, perfect for a stroll or a laid-back picnic. Next, get ready to feed the art enthusiast in you as you head to the Musei Civici. This palace-turned-museum is a treasure trove of Italian art as old as the 14th century right up to contemporary pieces. Don't you love how art allows us to perceive the world differently? In the evening, awaken your taste buds to the authentic flavor of pasta, pizzas, and wines at one of the city's local eateries. Doesn't that painted picture of exploring art by day and local food by night sound like the perfect Italian dream?
Day 3 - Embrace the Vibrant Culture and Style of Italy
Give your final day in Reggio Emilia an invigorating start with an ultimate spa experience at Salus per Aquam. Their locally sourced olive oil and essential oil therapies will prove to be a real treat. When in Italy, how can we miss out on style? Indulge in some retail therapy at Italy's oldest fashion district - Max Mara - and get your hands on some uber cool Italian styles. As the sun descends, visit the Teatro Valli to catch a heart-warming Italian opera. Can you think of a better way to bid adieu to this enchanting city?
