10 Shopping in Modena That You Shouldn't Miss
Known for its medieval history, its auto-making prowess (as home base of both Ferrari and Maserati) and its famous balsamic vinegar, Modena is a treat for visitors of all ages. The 12th-century Romanesque Cathedral of Modena, with its spectacular Ghirlandina bell tower (under restoration until the end of 2010), is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just outside of town (and next to the car maker’s factory) in Maranello is Galleria Ferrari, dedicated to the brand and Italian motor racing industry.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We will be back. The difference between 5 years and 12 years is significant and I was happy to learn the difference

Consorteria 1966 was one of the reasons my fiance and I came to Modena, and it did not disappoint. This balsamic vinegar is like nothing we have in the states in the best way. Cristina was so friendly and helpful, and she gave us a taste of 6+ vinegars. It is 5 euro per person, but that fee is waived if you buy a bottle (which we did). We were even able to bring back some gelato and try it with balsamic on top, which was wonderful. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in Modena.

4.5 based on 388 reviews
The Albinelli Market keeps alive the tradition and heritage of the ancient market that since the Middle Ages has spiced up the streets and squares of Modena, safeguarding the city cultural and nutritional values and the personal and close customer relationship that has always characterized the retail sale. With the October 28th, 1931 new Market inauguration, Modena retail trade left piazza Grande, the original location which hosted it for centuries. The vendors who moved in became stable retailers, leaving behind their previous experience as street vendors for good.Now it is the beating heart of the city of Modena, appreciated by citizens and by visitors the possibility to identify and sample the Modena traditional culinary ingredients and dishes

The covered fresh produce markets in the Emilia Romagna region are great places to visit with some of the most beautiful and well presented fruit and vegetables you will see anywhere. This one was the best I saw on my visit and the largest, with some really friendly stall holders. It even has a small statue and fountain in the centre. Really enjoyed experiencing this market.
