One-night rail city break to Modena, home of balsamic vinegar and Ferrari

Modena, a rail journey with railtour suisse

railtour suisse offers this two-day, one-night rail city break to Modena, Italy, travelling by second-class train, from 305 Swiss francs per person. The package includes one night in a 3-star Modena hotel. No day-by-day itinerary is included in the evidence, so specific timings are not confirmed here. Modena is known for its balsamic vinegar, Lambrusco wine, and the Ferrari and Maserati cars produced in the region, alongside a well-regarded old town and the Mercato Albinelli food market. The Teatro Communale commemorates the city's opera connection to Luciano Pavarotti, and the roughly 90-metre Torre Ghirlandina tower can be climbed via a spiral staircase for a view over the city. This short break suits independent travellers with an interest in Italian food, cars and history.
