Transfer and Taxi in Modena

When traveling around Italy, you will need to find ways to get from place to place. The most economical options are undoubtedly trains and buses, and some travelers rent a car. Still, the most comfortable way to get to Modena is a transfer or a pre-booked taxi to Modena.

Modena is known all over the world for the names of luxury car brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and others.

The city has a population of 185,000. It is a hub of modern car manufacturing in northern Italy. At the same time, the city has preserved unique historical monuments, which is why tourists from all over the world have been making pilgrimages here since the 12th century.

The History of Italy, Frozen in Stone

To explore 800 years of Modena's architectural history, be sure to see the following landmarks:

• Modena Cathedral – this magnificent building  was completed in 1319.
• The Ghirlandina Tower can be seen from anywhere in the city, as it is Modena's tallest building (86.12 m). It was built in 1179.  
• Palazzo dei Musei brings together masterpieces by Italian artists, rare artifacts and other unique exhibits.
• Piazza Roma – the square in front of the Ducal Palace of Modena, located in the heart of the historic quarter.  It features  a flowing fountain with beautiful lighting. 

After the historical tours, visitors can relax in the public park Giardini Pubblici, see how balsamic vinegar is made at Villa San Donnino, and visit the Ferrari and Panini car museums.

Transfer to Modena or a Pre-Booked Taxi

However, the most convenient and reliable way to travel to Modena is a transfer to Modena with the English-speaking company TTS taxi. What's more, you can choose a car that meets your exact needs. The advantages of a transfer:

• The driver will always wait for you if your flight or train is delayed. They meet passengers at the airport or station and help load the luggage into the car.
• You will get a car of the class you ordered,  fitted with a child seat if needed. 
• The fixed transfer price is lower than a ride in a regular taxi, with no extra charges  to pay. For example, at the most economical rate, 4 passengers in a minivan  pay 100 euros for the ride from the airport to Modena, i.e. 25 euros per person.  For a large party or group, you can book a minibus for up to 19 passengers (22 euros per person). A ride in a business-class car  costs 111 euros for three passengers (37 euros each). 

How to Get to Modena on a Budget

Budget travelers will have no trouble getting to Modena, as there is a direct bus from Bologna  every 2 hours. A ticket costs up to 10 euros.  You can also take a regional train, which takes 26 minutes, with tickets starting at 4 euros. 

Keep in mind that if you have large luggage, you will have to pay extra. You will also need to change to another form of transport to reach your hotel. With all these costs combined, a trip by public transport ends up only slightly cheaper than booking a convenient, comfortable and safe transfer.
