    We drove to Modena from Bologna (via some sights on route) - the trip is around 40kms. The hardest part of it was getting on the right road out of Bologna, the rest was fairly easy. We didn't have to worry about parking when we arrived as our hotel had private parking. We left the car there and walked into the centre of town (only about 10 mins from where we were staying). There is limited parking in the centre of town, so best to park a little out and walk in.

    If you are not driving to Modena you can catch a train from Bologna which takes about 30 mins. This is how we got there the first time we visited back on Sep 2002. The train line also has services to/from Parma, Rome, Milan and plenty of other places.

    There are also ATCM buses to/from other cities in the region.

  • If flying to Modena the best way to get there is to fly to Bologna, catch a bus into town and then get the train from platfrom 1 (west) to Modena, it takes around twenty minutes. There are trains every twenty minutes and it is definately quickest to arrive by train.
    The best way to get around the centre of Modena is on foot.

    Alternatively, in order to travel from one side of town to the other there are lots of buses from outside the bus station or all the way along via emilia. Most people in Modena travel around on rickety old bikes - it might seem odd at first but the terrain is very flat and this is a very practical method.
