Travel by train from Florence to Modena

The train is by far the best way to travel from Florence to Modena. It’s faster and less stressful than driving, and it’s a fraction of the price of hailing a taxi! Driving to Modena from Florence might take up to 2 hours (traffic permitting), but the train takes just 1h 15m on the fastest services, with just one change at Bologna Centrale station. If you take a high-speed Frecciarossa service, you’ll enjoy air-conditioned coaches and access to an electrical socket – plus extra-wide seats and complimentary snacks in First Class. There are 6 direct services per day on the Florence-Modena route and plenty more requiring just one change in Bologna, so you’d be mad not to take the train!

Situated to 101km (63 miles) north of Florence, Modena is famed for its racing car heritage and incredible food. The Ferrari Museum is about 50 minutes by bus from the station, located in nearby Maranello. Be sure to sample a taste of the local balsamic vinegar once you return to Modena, which you can do in one of the city’s many fine restaurants.
