Up the 12th century bell tower for great views of historic Modena.
"If you dream it, you can do it!" Enzo Ferrari. This was such an inspirational museum! A great one to visit with the whole family.
The large main exhibit hall had more expensive shiny red machines in one room than I’ve ever seen before. There were models from every decade, including some very rare vintage ones.

It was just a five minute walk from Modena train station to the museum, and it was easy to find using the handy signs posted just for tourists like us.

Beautiful traditional home that is cozy, great location, and spacious. The only thing was, when we arrived, we were confused with the entrance of the building. Other than that, its located in the center of old town bologna and near the popular Bolognese place.

Not a typical tourist destination, but it has its own charm. Excellent food and great place to get balsamic vinegar. After dealing with heavy traffic of people in Venice, this place was a nice break with peace and quiet. Did I say the food was great?

5/5 - Excellent

What a great town. Although not as many people spoke English as in other parts of Italy that I have been to, I had no problems communicating with the locals with and without a translation app. This town is less touristy, which I like.

4/5 - Good
