Ferrari Museum Maranello vs Modena | Cars, F1 & Experiences

Visiting both the Ferrari Museums in Maranello and Modena in one day is the best way to experience the full story of Ferrari, from Enzo Ferrari’s early beginnings to the legendary Formula 1 and road cars. Planning it on your own, however, often means buying separate tickets, arranging transport between the two towns, and coordinating timing. That’s time spent organizing, not enjoying.

The solution

A Maranello + Modena combo keeps the visit simple and connected. Start at one museum and continue to the other without worrying about separate queues or schedules. Explore each museum at your own pace, enjoy interactive experiences like GT simulators or factory tours, and if needed, add organized transfers from Bologna or join a guided tour for deeper context.
