We loved the way the museum offers a glimpse into Enzo Ferrari’s life and passion, setting the scene for the spectacular cars to come. Expect to spend around 30 minutes here, enough time to appreciate the exhibits but not so long as to cut into the main part of the day.

Ferrari Museum in Maranello: The Heart of Ferrari

Your guide will point out famous models and racing victories, helping you understand how Ferrari became a symbol of speed and luxury. One reviewer mentioned, “The museum and factory are a must,” emphasizing how this stop is a highlight.

Tickets are extra, but many say it’s well worth the small additional expense to see the beautifully preserved cars and learn about Ferrari’s racing history.

Additional Experiences and Flexibility

If you’re craving more, you can pay for the chance to drive a Ferrari or Lamborghini with a professional pilot sitting beside you. This is a real highlight for thrill-seekers, but remember, you’ll need an international driving license and to be at least 19 years old with three years of driving experience.

For those wanting to sharpen their driving skills, a professional Ferrari simulator is available, blending simulation with the real thing. Several reviews highlight guides like Giorgio’s enthusiasm, making the journey not just informative but also fun.

Practicalities and Pricing
