City in Italy

Modena

2 things to see

Modena is the home of balsamic vinegar and some of Italy’s finest food traditions, with a UNESCO cathedral and a pace of life that invites slow, affordable eating. The cathedral, the medieval Piazza Grande, and the old town are all free to wander, and the local Emilia-Romagna cooking is cheap and superb. Modena sits a short, cheap train ride from Bologna and Parma, so it slots easily into a budget food-trail loop through the region.
