The Ferrari Museum in Maranello offers visitors exclusive shuttle bus tours to the Fiorano track and along the Viale Enzo Ferrari boulevard in the factory complex.
A museum guide will also discuss the various characteristics of the Ferrari track where the Prancing Horse has carried out all its competition and road car tests since 1972. Likewise the Ferrari Campus, the heart of the complex where all the Prancing Horse cars are built. The buildings and facilities designed by world-leading architects of the likes of Renzo Piano, Massimiliano Fuksas, Jean Nouvel, Marco Visconti and Luigi Sturchio are also fascinating. Equally interesting is the historic part of the factory which has been meticulously preserved, not least the factory entrance which dates back to 1947.

The Luciano Pavarotti Home Museum is the home that Maestro Pavarotti built in the Modena countryside, in a large estate, where he lived the last years of his life.
It opened to the public in 2015 to firmly ground Maestro’s memory to his beloved homeland and to make the man LUCIANO behind the great artist PAVAROTTI better known to the general public.
Today, the house is still as Maestro left it and it can be entirely visited. It keeps all the objects he loved to be surrounded with and it displays the memories of the days spent with family, friends and students to whom he gave singing lessons.
The time spent traveling between locations will make up the remaining times.
