Visit highlights and lesser-known spots of Modena such as Piazza Grande, Duomo di Modena, Mercato Storico Albinelli, and many more incredible places that will offer a cultural contrast between Bologna and Modena.

By spending a day with a local, you’ll get authentic insights about Italy. Along the way, your local host will explain how traditions, customs, and history differ between cities, even if they are from the same country. But thanks to those differences, they make Italy a beautiful cultural treasure!

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each with a different background ranging from history to art. They can't wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you!
