Visit Modena Verified partner 

From the plains to the Apennines, the Modena area is a magical intertwining of colors and landscapes that can be explored along nature trails for hiking or cycling, on ancient roads, and in parks, nature preserves, spas, and wildlife oases. Because of its importance as a natural habitat, a large portion of the Modena area lies within Man and the Biosphere Programme’s Biosphere Reserve of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, a UNESCO project.

Surround yourself with unspoiled nature, entertaining recreational activities, and ample opportunities for fun and relaxation.
