More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a private vehicle outside a Florentine palazzo as morning light pools on the Arno, and the highway unfurls northward toward the low, cultivated sweep of the Po Valley. Rolling fields give way to red-brick Bologna, where covered porticoes create a cool, shaded walk; later the car eases into Modena’s compact centre, thick with vinegar-scented air and timeworn stone; Parma’s elegant squares offer a buttery counterpoint before the urban high-rise rhythm of Milan concludes the day.
