Over the course of the day you move from city-to-city, stopping in Modena or Maranello to visit museums, plan test drives, and explore historic sites that include a Romanesque cathedral and the town center.

Outing Highlights
Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati — Automotive Heritage
Modena and nearby Maranello are the birthplace and workshop of some of Italy’s most storied sports-car makers. The day can include visits to the Ferrari museum and other marque-related sites that trace the region’s automotive lineage.
Museums, Test Drives and Factory-Town Atmosphere
Beyond static displays, the itinerary can be shaped around dynamic experiences: planned test drives and visits to brand museums give a sense of how Maranello and Modena live around automotive production and passion.
Traditional Balsamic and Regional Flavors
Modena’s culinary traditions are part of the stop: guided visits to producers of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, Parmesan stops and recommendations for some of the area’s notable restaurants are offered as part of the day.
