A propriedade — Planet Hotel
A functional 3-star on a ring road near Modena's main train station. The lobby is small, tiled and unpretentious — think brown leather chairs and a rack of tourist maps. It suits budget-conscious travellers who treat the hotel as a base: clean rooms, free Wi-Fi and parking, but zero charm. The USP is location: a 15-minute walk to Piazza Grande, or two stops on the bus that stops outside.
Crónicas de Modena
Modena was founded by the Ligurian Boii tribe, then became the Roman colony Mutina in 183 BC. Its medieval core was shaped by the Este family, who built the Unesco-listed cathedral and the Ducal Palace. The city's contemporary identity is turbocharged by speed: it is the home of Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini, plus the world's best balsamic vinegar. Today the streets feel like a live museum: cobbles polished by thousands of car fans and food pilgrims.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de Modena →Melhores meses
May, June and September. Warm but not brutal, and the Ferragosto crowds have thinned in September. The Ferrari Museum and balsamic tours are less frantic.
Peak / Festival Surge
July to August, when Ferragosto (15 August) fills Modena with Italian holidaymakers. Hotel prices at the Planet can double. The main draw is the annual Ferrari-related events and the heat – expect 30°C afternoons.
Orçamento da temporada
April and October. You'll see early-season discounts on Booking.com and cooler air – 15–20°C. The balsamic harvest (October) is a genuine local festival with few tourists.
Tempo e embalagem
July in Modena is sticky: it can rain suddenly after a scorching day. Pack a light rain jacket and comfortable walking sandals – you'll do a lot of pavement time.
Livro City Briefing — Modena
- Modena's ZTL (limited traffic zone) expanded in early 2026. Check your car's emissions – older diesels are banned from the historic centre between 7am and 8pm.
- The Enzo Ferrari Museum is hosting a 'Lamborghini 60' exhibit throughout summer 2026. Book two weeks ahead; it sells out fast.
- A new bike-share scheme (Mobike Modena) launched in May 2026 with 200 e-bikes at the train station and Piazza Roma.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Planet Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the back of the building (courtyard side). These floors are above street-level bustle but low enough for quick lift access; the rear orientation cuts road noise from the main street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms overlooking the street – direct pavement noise from pedestrians and local traffic. Also skip rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor; you’ll hear the mechanism and guest chatter.
Best views
Rooms on the rear side offer a quieter view of Modena’s tiled rooftops and small inner courtyards. Front-facing rooms look onto the city street and parked cars.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, away from ground-level hubbub and still below any potential rooftop plant noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Modena’s main streets can carry scooter and delivery van noise from early morning until late evening, especially on weekdays. The hotel lift is audible in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the courtyard side when booking – it makes a real difference to sleep quality. If you’re arriving by car, check if the hotel has a reserved spot or can point you to the public parking garage two blocks north; street parking fills quickly and is limited to 2-hour paid bays.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Dinheiro e moeda
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or train station—they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted; contactless is common in shops and restaurants. Some smaller bars or markets may only take cash for small amounts.
Not expected but appreciated. Round up the bill in restaurants or leave 1–2 EUR for good service; taxis and hotel staff don't expect tips, but you can round up the fare.
Comer, Comprar e Viajar em um Orçamento
Cheap car hire →A standing espresso at a bar: about 1.20–1.50 EUR. Always cheaper at the counter than sitting down.
A takeaway piadina (flatbread filled with ham, cheese, veg) from a rosticceria or kebab shop: 5–7 EUR.
Pasta or pizza main course at a modest trattoria or pizzeria: 10–15 EUR.
Best cheap eats around the market area and near Piazza Grande—look for gnocco fritto with cold cuts or tigelle at hole-in-the-wall bakeries.
Conad, Coop, and Lidl are common budget supermarkets in Modena.
High-street chains like OVS, H&M, and Zara in the centre; for cheaper basics, try the weekly market on a Saturday morning at Piazza XX Settembre.
Buy a single bus ticket (1.50 EUR) from tabacchi or the daily pass (4 EUR) for unlimited rides. From Bologna airport, take the shuttle bus (8 EUR) to Modena bus station.
Eat at the counter rather than sitting down for meals, which can double the cost. Fill a water bottle at the free public fountains (fontanella) around town. Avoid taxis; walk or use buses.

Principais atrações em Modena
💡 Look for the carved reliefs on the facade called the 'Metope'—each tells a biblical story in surprisingly expressive detail. Mass times mean the interior is closed briefly at noon, so plan accordingly.
💡 Grab a coffee at Caffè Giusti on the corner, a local institution since 1880.
💡 Avoid the lunchtime queue by visiting at 1pm. While you're inside, look for the small chapel dedicated to Saint Geminiano, the city's patron saint.
💡 Visit late afternoon for the best light on the facade. Sundays are quietest.
💡 Come early morning when it's empty to see the light hit the cathedral facade. The column of the Preda Ringadora is where medieval edicts were proclaimed.
💡 Visit on a Saturday morning for the market stalls selling local produce and crafts.
💡 Go early morning to avoid crowds and see the sunlight filter through the rose window.
💡 The museum is free on the first Sunday of every month, but it's already free for everyone every day. The ticket also gets you into the nearby Museo Lapidario Estense on the same day.
