For those who love cars and the history of Ferrari, visiting the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy is like travelling back in time. Located in the house where Enzo Ferrari was born and began his journey, the museum is not just about cars: it is about the life of the man behind the brand, his inspirations, challenges, and the passion that gave rise to one of the greatest legends in world motorsport.
Walking through the museum makes you feel part of Ferrari’s history, among interactive exhibitions, legendary engines, and videos revealing the behind-the-scenes of Enzo’s life and work.
The space combines the preservation of Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace with a modern exhibition pavilion.
The car collection includes iconic models that marked the brand’s trajectory, from the earliest vehicles to rare prototypes. Inside, you will find:
Interactive exhibitions: immersive videos narrating the story of Enzo Ferrari, from his childhood to his rise in the automotive world.
Exclusive collections: customised cars and a selection of Ferrari engines.
Themed areas: sections dedicated to Scuderia Ferrari’s victories, highlighting F1 world champions.
Tip: from time to time, there are presentations detailing Ferrari’s history (approximately every 30 minutes, but it is best to check on-site).
Opening hours: daily from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm, with the last entry at 5:15 pm.
Tickets: can be purchased directly from the museum’s official website here.
How to get to Modena?
By car: the roads are well signposted, and there are car parks near the museum. The museum’s address is Via Paolo Ferrari, 85, 41121 Modena, Italy.
I usually compare rental options through Discover Cars, which brings together providers in one place and makes it easier to find a car that suits the trip and budget.
By train: the nearest city with a station is Modena, with easy connections to Maranello. I usually book train tickets through Trainline because it makes it easy to compare schedules and fares and manage the booking in one place.
By bus: there are regular lines linking Modena to Maranello, ideal for those wishing to visit both museums without a car.
If time is short
If you have to choose just one museum, I recommend visiting the Ferrari Museum in Maranello. It offers a more complete experience, with a vast car collection, F1 simulators, and the chance to take the panoramic factory tour. Even if you don’t enter the factory buildings, it’s fascinating to watch cars move from one section to another.
