Emilia-Romagna welcomes you with a genuine smile and wins you over with its scents. Here, between the Po Plain and the Adriatic Sea, life flows gently — accompanied by the clinking of glasses, the chatter of markets and the aroma of freshly baked bread.
It is a region of art, cuisine and hospitality, where beauty doesn’t show off — it’s offered, with warmth and simplicity. From UNESCO World Heritage cities to medieval villages in the Apennines, from the lively beaches of the Riviera to the Lambrusco-covered hills, every corner tells a unique story of Italian life.
With Toucan Travel, you’ll discover an Emilia-Romagna to be experienced — not just visited: to savour, to breathe, to remember.
Bologna is a city that embraces you. Its endless porticoes, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, welcome travellers beneath arches filled with history and warmth. Every step here is scented — morning coffee, rain on red bricks, ragù simmering slowly in home kitchens.
In Piazza Maggiore, among students, street performers and evening conversations, you can feel the city’s true soul — sociable, witty, cultured. Bologna is also the kingdom of flavour — tortellini in broth, tagliatelle with ragù, mortadella — dishes that are not just food, but gestures of love.
It’s a city that doesn’t flaunt — it makes you feel part of it, even if you stay only a day.
In the heart of Emilia, Parma and Modena embody the Italy of taste and elegance.
Parma is as refined as an opera melody: its historic theatres, noble palaces and artisan workshops preserve a tradition steeped in beauty and good living. Here were born masterpieces of flavour such as Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano — symbols of a culture that unites hands and heart.
Modena, by contrast, is pure passion. It’s the sweet aroma of traditional balsamic vinegar, the sleek curves of Ferrari, the notes of Pavarotti echoing through its streets. Between its Romanesque Cathedral and Ghirlandina Tower, you can sense a perfect harmony between sacred and everyday life.
Two cities, different yet united by the same spirit: living well is an art — and here, it’s practised every day.
To the north, between the plains and the sea, Emilia-Romagna grows quiet and noble.
Ferrara, with its Este Castle and Renaissance walls, is a city seemingly suspended in time. Walking through its orderly streets feels like stepping into a painting — among hidden gardens, elegant palaces and an air of wistful beauty.
Ravenna, on the other hand, is an explosion of light. Its Byzantine mosaics, unmatched in the world, capture the soul — gold, blue, turquoise, stone and faith blending in silent harmony. Here, every church tells a story, every detail reflects eternity.
Two sister cities that speak softly — and precisely for that, they remain within you like an ancient melody.
The Riviera Romagnola is the region’s liveliest soul — a hymn to life, joy and the sea. From Rimini to Cesenatico, from Cattolica to Milano Marittima, miles of golden sand welcome families, young people, travellers and dreamers alike.
Here, the day begins with a swim and ends with a toast at sunset.
But the Riviera is more than beaches: in inland villages such as Santarcangelo di Romagna, San Leo and Gradara, you can rediscover the authentic Romagna — made of taverns, breathtaking views and genuine hospitality.
It’s the brightest side of Italy, where life still tastes of warm piadina, salty air and freedom.
Where the plains dissolve into hills and forests, another Emilia begins — more intimate, slower, more sincere.
The Emilian Apennines are a mosaic of paths, valleys and villages where time seems to have forgotten to run. Among Castelnovo ne’ Monti, Bobbio, Castelvetro di Modena and the thermal baths of Porretta, nature embraces humanity and invites it to pause.
Here, food has the flavour of authenticity: fragrant mushrooms, aged cured meats, strong cheeses and generous wines. In local taverns, voices are gentle, laughter is hearty, and toasts are made without hurry.
This is the most authentic Emilia — the one you never forget: a refuge for the soul and the senses.
With Toucan Travel, Emilia-Romagna becomes an experience to be enjoyed with all your senses.
You can follow the routes of flavour through the Lambrusco hills, explore medieval villages in the hinterland, admire Ravenna’s mosaics or lose yourself in Adriatic sunsets. Every itinerary is an invitation to slow down, rediscover the joy of small things, and embrace the authenticity of those who still know how to say “welcome”.
Let yourself be enchanted by a land where every smile is sincere, every dish tells a story, and every day smells of happiness.
Because in Emilia-Romagna, living well truly is an art.
