Ferrari Museum (Museo Ferrari)
Via Alfredo Dino Ferrari, 43, Maranello, Modena, 41053
The most evocative name in Italian sports cars is Ferrari. This dedicated museum in Maranello, Italy, focuses on the auto manufacturer’s history and production. It features 25 cars, including road cars and prototypes, a section devoted to the historic Formula 1 racing team, and fascinating automotive artifacts and memorabilia.
The basics
With about 27,000 square feet (2,500 square meters) of floor space devoted to Ferrari’s history and design, a visit to this unique museum is an unforgettable day trip from nearby Bologna, or cities as far afield as Verona, Florence, or Milan. For a full immersion experience, combine your visit with a stop at the nearby Ferrari factory, a stop at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, or even a thrilling test drive on the Fiorano Track.
The Ferrari Museum is one of several world-renowned car manufacturers in Emilia-Romagna’s famed Motor Valley. Consider booking full-day Ferrari Museum (Museo Ferrari) tours that also include visits to the Lamborghini, Pagani, and Ducati museums and showrooms. Many of these museums have temporary exhibitions in addition to their permanent exhibitions, so even if you’ve already visited, you’ll almost always find something new on display.
Things to know before you go
The Ferrari Museum is located on Via Alfredo Dino Ferrari, 43 in Maranello. The Enzo Ferrari Museum is located in Modena about 12.5 miles (20 kilometers) away; free shuttle buses run between the two museums every 90 minutes.
The museum includes a Ferrari store selling official branded clothing, toys, and other memorabilia.
Kids will particularly enjoy the multimedia exhibits, Formula 1 simulators, and interactive activities like pit-stop trials and photo ops in Ferrari cars.
How to get there
The Ferrari Museum is located in Maranello, about 31 miles (50 kilometers) west of Bologna. It’s not easy to reach the museum by public transportation—you must take a train to Modena. Once you're at the Modena train station, you have to take a bus or taxi to Maranello. Booking a private bus tour is the most convenient option.
When to get there
The museum is open from 9:30am to 6pm from November through March and until 7pm from April to October. It makes an unforgettable way to spend a rainy day, as the collection and store are indoors.
Cars and food: two passions
The Emilia-Romagna region is famous for its iconic automotive design and its unrivaled cuisine. Parmesan cheese, prosciutto ham, and balsamic vinegar all hail from this region. Combine a Ferrari Museum visit with a food tour to experience the best of Emilia-Romagna in a single day.
