Summer in Parma’s historic center

06-08-2026

The countryside and the Apennines are usually the most popular destinations for enjoying Parma’s summer, with late-night sunshine and temperatures a few degrees cooler than in the city. But the historic center doesn’t go on vacation—quite the opposite!
The heart of Parma’s historic center becomes the perfect stage for cultural events, outdoor dinners, and special evenings to share with friends and family.

Among the liveliest streets are Borgo delle Colonne with Piazzale San Francesco, Borgo del Gallo and Via Nazario Sauro with the surrounding streets, Piazzale Boito, Piazzale Inzani, and Piazzale Picelli in Oltretorrente.

Borgo delle Colonne and Piazzale San Francesco
Borgo delle Colonne is a charming corner of Parma’s city center, where history intertwines with modernity. The street, lined with bars and restaurants, comes alive especially on Wednesdays for the “Mercolonne” event, with music, a market, closed streets, and outdoor seating.
Piazzale San Francesco, just steps away, transforms every evening into a stage for outdoor events, especially musical ones, thanks to the Casa della Musica’s summer program.

Borgo del Gallo
During the summer, its narrow streets come alive with outdoor dinners offering typical Parma dishes and gourmet specialties, often accompanied by live music. Local venues organize themed evenings, tastings of local products, and cultural events.

Via Nazario Sauro and its surroundings
Via Nazario Sauro, along with the surrounding streets, is a hub for those seeking entertainment and nightlife.
Numerous bars, wine bars, and clubs line this area. The street is known for its artisan shops, market, aperitivo bars, and outdoor dining.

Piazzale Picelli and Piazzale Inzani
Just head “across the water” beyond the Parma River, along Via D’Azeglio and then to the squares that come alive every evening with outdoor seating, in the beautiful Piazzale Inzani and in front of the church of Santa Maria del Quartiere in Piazzale Picelli, for truly lively evenings.

Via Nino Bixio Piazzale Barbieri
A new shared project is coming to life in the heart of the Oltretorrente area thanks to the commitment of the merchants of Via Bixio, with the aim of enhancing Piazzale Barbieri and restoring vitality to one of the most distinctive areas of Parma’s historic center.
With the support of Confesercenti Parma, the Association aims to build a network of events, community gatherings, quality, and urban regeneration, transforming Barriera Bixio into an increasingly vibrant, welcoming, and attractive space for residents and visitors.
Five Parma businesses—Bastian Contrario, Casa del Formaggio, Macelleria Mantovani, Oven, and Micca—create a space dedicated to food, music, conviviality, and entertainment for all ages.
A program that will run every weekend in June and July, returning in September and October.

Some recommended dining spots from the Parma City of Gastronomy club in the historic center:

Antica Osteria della Ghiaia
Otello Beccheria
Da Mat
Ombre Rosse
Osteria dei Mascalzoni
Ruliano
Parmamenù
Artusi Salsamenteria
Angio d’Or
La Forchetta
La Filoma
Degusteria Romani
Gelateria Cioccolateria Banchini
Operaviva
