Museo Ducati

Definitely worth seeing for any motorcycle fan. It isn't too big but it was amazing to see all these legend machines. Also, I bought the factory tour as well on the Ducati website and I had the chance to see where they assemble the bikes. I'd recommend both of them if you are a motorcycle enthusiast.

It has been a dream of mine to visit the home of Ducati all my life and we finally made it. Honestly it did not disappoint whatsoever it was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the all the Ducati machines. I genuinely did not want to leave, 100% recommended.

The display was very good,I was hoping it had more of the early square and round case models and the early v4 prototype,still overall pretty good.

Amazing collection of bikes from the 1900’s to present. Friendly and accommodating staff. This museum is a must see incredible to see how far Ducati has come. The factory is also next door and you can do a guided tour.

Excellent presentation of the history of Ducati. Had the opportunity to sit on a couple of the new Ducati bikes and then view the vintage collection. We finished our tour as the factory shift was finishing and we were treated to many employees leaving on their bikes; a treat for the eyes and the ears!

We were there on a friday, we had a factory tour, which we can highly recommend!! It was amazing to see how they build motorcycles! Our tour guide was Giulia, she was funny and kind! After we went to the museum, it was well made and organised. Lots of beautiful bikes! Who have passion for motorcycles and motoGP its a must to see with a factory tour as well!

Great museum and one of the best factory tours I have ever been on. You do not need to be a motorcycle aficionado to appreciate the Italian engineering and craftsmanship that resonates within Ducati.

Factory tour and Museum, great to see! Was there for the second time. If you're a bike enthousiast just go there!

Sweet side trip if you're in Bologna! The Ducati museum and the Ducati factory are one and the same. I was lucky enough to have a friend book this for me and when I arrived in Bologna I made sure to grab a bus ticket and figure out how to get out there. I was told the ride time should be about 20 minutes. I hopped on the bus and headed down here. The bus comes often so you don't have to worry about the bus times. After about 20 minutes I wasn't near the Ducati factory. 25 minutes and still nothing! I was a little worried I had missed my stop. I want to give everyone a heads up but it can take up to 45 minutes. I didn't experience any traffic and it took that long to get out here. No matter which stop you get off at you're still going to have to walk a little bit to get to the museum. Upon arrival at the Ducati factory I had to check in and leave a piece of ID. Sure no problem. They walked me through the gates and to the front desk. There is a small Ducati souvenir store which I wish had more items. I'm not sure why it's not stocked up as there are some items from Ducati that were not available here. The museum itself is really not that large. It's a small showroom with a Ducati from each generation including the very first Ducati which was a pedal bicycle. Walking through the showroom I enjoyed each of the Ducati's they had on show. There is also a movie screen shaped like a motorcycle helmet. Very cool! Unfortunately that's it! I had a chance to see the production floor as well and found that pretty awesome! Unfortunately for me nothing was going on as they hit a target for the month. It was still awesome being there and seeing everything. If you're a motorcycle fan you should definitely come by the Ducati museum. Just set some time aside as the factory is just outside Bologna. Also sample the fantastic food in Bologna!

The museum was fantastic for history buffs. I would recommend you read up before going, it is quite small. If you go on the weekend the factory floor will not be available to you as they are adamant about not working on the weekend. The factory store is across the street and after taking the tour they will give you a five euro discount on your purchases.

High crime area. Don't leave anything in your car. Leave the doors unlocked unless you want broken windows. We drove to the Ducati museum from the Lamborghini museum. While parking we were approached by two individuals who had just returned from the museum to find both of their cars broken into. Evidently Ducati does not care enough about their fans/customers to provide safe parking.

Hit the museum up after (or before) a factory tour. It's not huge, but it does contain a hell of a lot of historically important Ducati bikes for its limited size and is laid out in a easily navigable format.

Pretty cool museum. Not too big, but nicely done. My only complaint was with one young lady who gave me grief in the very beginning for not being able to scan my ticket properly. The factory tour is interesting as well. Love the bikes!!

You must make a reservation ahead of time to take the tour at 2 o'clock and they don't open until 2 o'clock so you must call a day ahead of time.
