Ferrari Museum tickets: Maranello and Modena

Prices and the two seasons

Ferrari runs two price bands. From October to April an adult (19+) pays €27 per museum; from May to September it's €32. Reduced tickets are €22/€24 for students over 10, over-65s, military and carers of disabled visitors. The discount worth knowing about is for teenagers: under-19s with a family member pay just €9 in low season and €12 in high season. Under-5s and disabled visitors go free.

The official page doesn't limit these reductions to EU citizens; bring ID for the age-based ones. Your ticket is valid from opening time until 45 minutes before closing.

One trick for rail travellers: if you arrive on a Trenitalia Tper regional train and show your single ticket at the museum, entry to one museum is €20. Keep that paper ticket from Bologna.

Maranello, Modena or both

These are two different museums about 20 km apart.

• Maranello sits next to the factory. Formula 1 cars, trophies, today's road cars. If you only have time for one and you came for the racing, this is it.
• Modena (Museo Enzo Ferrari) wraps a modern building around the house where Enzo Ferrari was born, with the cars of his life and a large wraparound film. More biography, less pit lane.

The Musei Ferrari Pass covers both for €38 (October–April) or €42 (May–September), versus €54 or €64 for two separate tickets. The catch: you must visit both within 48 hours of each other. A shuttle bus runs between the two museums at set times and stops at Modena train station too.

Simulator, factory shuttle and "Ferrari test drives"

People mix these up, so here's the split:

• F1 simulator (Maranello): €30 for a 10-minute session, 7 of them actually driving, with a technician setting you up. Modena has a GT simulator for €25. Both are paid on top of entry. Tiqets and GetYourGuide sell entry + simulator bundles if you want a fixed time slot.
• Panoramic factory and track tour: run by the Maranello museum. A 45-minute guided shuttle ride down Viale Enzo Ferrari and inside the Fiorano circuit. You stay on board throughout. €25 adults, €20 reduced, €7 under-19s.
• Driving a Ferrari on the road: not part of the museum ticket. These are separate experiences, some sold by GetYourGuide bundled with museum entry. Check if you drive or ride, for how long, and on what route.

Official desk or resellers

For a plain entry ticket the official box office is all you need: booking is optional and you can always buy at the desk. Resellers make sense if you want a simulator slot bundled in, a combo with the Lamborghini museum or Pavarotti's house, or a day trip from Bologna or Florence with transport. You'll pay more than the official price, but you're buying a package the museum doesn't sell as such.

Getting there

Opening hours are the same at both museums: November–March 9:30–18:00, April, May, September and October 9:30–19:00, June–August from 9:00. Last entry 17:15 in winter, 18:15 from April to October. Closed only on 25 December and 1 January.

Without a car, go to Modena station and take the Museo Ferrari Shuttle (a train + bus service) to Maranello. Driving, the free P4 car park on Via Fornace in Maranello is reserved for museum visitors; the small lot right in front of the entrance charges by the hour. In Modena there's a free car park behind the museum on Via Giuseppe Soli while spaces last.
