When to visit

The best time to visit Maranello is during the spring and fall months, from April to June and September to October, when the weather is mild and perfect for exploring the town and its surroundings. Summers can be hot and crowded with tourists, while winters are cold and rainy, making outdoor activities less enjoyable.

Getting around

Maranello is a small town that can easily be explored on foot, especially the main attractions like the Ferrari Museum and local restaurants. Visitors can also rent a car to explore the surrounding countryside and nearby cities like Modena. Public transportation options include buses and taxis, but they may be limited in frequency.

Traveller tips

Make sure to book Ferrari Museum tickets in advance to avoid long queues, especially during peak tourist seasons. Try the local specialty, balsamic vinegar, which is produced in the nearby town of Modena. Respect the local customs and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Learn a few basic Italian phrases to communicate with locals, as English may not be widely spoken. Be prepared for siesta time, when many shops and restaurants close in the afternoon.
