Ferrari Museum... Modena vs Maranello

[Z4MCSL]

We are driving through Italy and looking to visit the ferrari museum, but which one!

Looking for some advice, hints and tips. I'm not especially a ferrari fan but obviously I'm a petrol head. I'm not bothered about the factory tour and probably more interested in modern machinery

Any advice massively appreciated

I went to the Ferrari museum at Maranello, found it quite disappointing. Not on par with Mercedes and Porsche museums in Stuttgart.

The Pagani museum and factory tour in Modena was exceptional, and one I would highly recommend

The Speyer Museum is well worth a visit inside is all vehicles

Currently in Modena.

The Enzo museum is the superior of the two. You can get dual tickets for both that don’t cost much more than for one museum although they are 20-30 minutes apart.

The Pagani factory tour is worth doing, their museum is great, but small.

Lamborghini museum is again quite small.

There is a Fioruccio Lamborghini museum in his old factory too.

The Panini (stickers family) collection is essentially the old Maserati collection on a family farm and worth a visit.

Stanguellini museum is by arrangement, but also by Zushi which is my preferred Japanese restaurant.

Food wise Antica Moka is great for Italian fine dining.

You can easily do both in a day. They’re not far apart if you’re driving through and it doesn’t matter which order you do them. Maranello had more F1 stuff when I went and the Modena one had a great display of road engines and cars but that was 2018 and I guess the displays could change. The combined tickets are good value as well, from memory it was something like €25 for one or ~€30 for both

42 euro to both Ferrari museums for me and my son.

We just had a private tour of Stanguellini museum for 50 Euros for two adults and two children.

A very good experience and a great collection of cars.

We were at the Modena one not long ago. Thought it was good, not fantastic but worth seeing. Liked the fact that they recreated his office.



We went to Maranello just to hire a Portafino, didn't visit the museum though.

This place is awesome

Then you can walk round the corner & see the (rather dull) Lingotto old factory.

Thread resurrection time.

We're planning a road trip for September. So far we've sorted out our route and stops as far as Zell Am See in Austria. (Amsterdam -Dusseldorf - Koblenz - Heidelberg - Munich - Zell Am See).

I wanted to know if the Ferrari Museum(s) are still considered worth visiting? Any suggestions for a hotel nearby to stay for a night? Our thought is to make these the furthest South part of our trip before heading back North.

Thanks in advance.

I'm part of the Scuderia Ferrar Club so we go over quite often.

Both are worth visiting, what is on display changes quite often as well. The "factory tour" Ferrari offers to the public is a bus tour so you basically just get to see the outside of the buildings.

I did a full factory tour in 2024 includng the Scuderia buildings but that was a club arranged event.

My first time I stayed in the Domus hotel as it was cheap, I usually stay in the Planet Hotel as its next to the Scuderia building, a lot of people like the Maranello village hotel but thats in the outskirts and I like to be central.

I visited both last year and would recommend them. The Maranello site has a nice mix of old racing cars and notable road cars. I'm not normally interested in the modern stuff, but seeing things like the Purosangue and other current models alongside the older ones was good. The Modena museum is smaller and has a very different character. They complement each other nicely.

[David-H]

Thanks for the replies guys.

Maranello will now be the southern most point of our road trip, before we head back North to eventually return to Scotland.

They run shuttles between Modena & Maranello. For my money Maranello is the better of the two, but both are well worth the trip.

[the-norseman]

Its not just the museums worth visiting but the restaraunts around the area, most have a lot of memrobilia on display.

[gazza5]

We did both last year - I would do both.

Both different.

We did Alfa Romeo museum, lamborghini (in my opinion was crap - not worth it), pagani wiith factory tour, both ferrari museums.

[raceboy]

We've done both Ferrari museums twice, and were different enough each time and to each other.
Last time we went we were based in Bologna and hired a car, managed Lamborghini and both Ferraris in a day, we enjoyed Lambo, I liked the random abstract art pieces and the collection of one of one cars.
We then did Imola by train the following day which was a great trip, very small tour group, a few laps of the track in a minibus and a stop at the Senna memorial.

The Lambo musuem or the Ferruccio one?

I've been both, The Ferruccio one is probably better if your into History. The lambo one was just a collection of fairly modern cars parked in a room it seemed like.

Yep we went to the modern one - had about 15 cars in total. Complete waste of time tbh.

I didn't realise there was two.

I learnt more about lamborghini from the film, than I did from the "museum" of latest modern cars and one tractor.

[raceboy]

They must change up the displays at Lamborghini quite often,,,

[gazza5]

I saw the red, gold and green one when we went.

I was expecting it to be more like Ferrari or Alfa museum.
