About Modena

Modena packs UNESCO Romanesque architecture, a legendary opera house, and some of Italy's most serious eating into a compact Emilian city. April to June and September to October bring warm days for the Piazza Grande, Luciano Pavarotti's legacy, and acetaia visits in the hills without summer humidity. Summer is hot but evenings stay lively around the Mercato Albinelli; winter fog can dull the Apennine views but truffle season rewards. Pair two nights here with day trips to Parma and the Ferrari museums in Maranello.
