Step by Step
Modena, a city that combines history, art, tradition and modernity, is revealed in this two-hour private tour of its main treasures. Accompanied by a certified guide, you will walk through its enchanting historic centre, where every corner holds a fragment of the splendour it experienced when it was the capital of the Duchy of the Este.
The tour starts in Piazza Grande, the heart of Modena and one of its most representative points. From there, you will delve into the history and symbolism of the imposing Cathedral of Modena, a Romanesque jewel that, together with the square and the Ghirlandina Tower, has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Then you will visit the Mercato Albinelli, a space full of life and tradition where the flavours and colours of Modena are manifested in every stall. This market is the most authentic reflection of the daily life of the Modenese people and an excellent place to understand their gastronomic culture.
The tour continues towards Piazza Roma, where the Palazzo Ducale stands, one of the greatest examples of Renaissance architecture in the city and the current seat of the most important military academy in Italy. Strolling along ancient canals and cobbled streets, you will experience a journey through time that will allow you to understand the past and present of this very special city.
