Top 10 Day Trips from in Modena, Emilia-Romagna

March 30, 2022 Diedre Savory

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.

Tourism everywhere has been hard hit by the pandemic but we made the decision to travel to Italy including a short stay in Bologna. On an initial walk round the historic centre, we decided that we needed a guided tour to get the most of our time there. We chose Bologna Tour and were so glad that we did. Sonia handled our booking very professionally and she introduced us to our guide, Frederico, at the agreed meeting place. We then spent two fascinating hours walking around some of Bologna's best sights. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging and given us a very helpful insight into the city and it's people. As tourist numbers are down so much at present, we got a private tour for the price of a group tour! It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour and I would definitely recommend it.

9. Day Trip from Milano to Modena

This ancient town and seat of an archbishop is situated on the south side of the Po Valley, in the Province of Modena. Modena is well known for its automotive industry since the factories of the famous Italian sports car makers like Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani, and Maserati are, or were, located here. Apart from Enzo Ferrari, other famous Modenesi were operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti, soprano Mirella Freni, chef Massimo Bottura and others. Since 183 BC Modena was an important center of the region, due to its strategic importance, which resulted in a rich historic legacy. Part of the legacy can be seen at Piazza Grande, the main square where the Cathedral of Modena and its Gothic bell tower called Torre della Ghirlandina, can be also found. These three monuments and their universal value were recognized by UNESCO declaring them a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Another unmissable attraction of Modena is the Baroque Ducal Palace, now serving as a military academy.
