Museo Ducati

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!

A great way to see some marvellous motorcycles produced over the years. When we visited the crowds were light so there was no waiting nor crowding around the bikes. Only down side, we went to the on site Ducati shop and were told they were closed for lunch and that no purchases could be made - unfortunate customer experience to finish the tour

Great museum, lots of motorbikes from the first produced to the most modern ones, well organized. Detailed explaining of the motorbikes and the history of Ducati also with free audio guide using QR code.

Nice experience, museum is not huge, but you have good descriptions, at the end you have also a virtual experience, parking is not in front of the museum but 300-400 m you can find a lot of parking. Ticket is 18 EUR (I think a bit too much especially if you have more people together).

Great - I saw proper Moto GP bike worth 30.000.000 Euro. It has almost nothing to do with Panigale you buy for road. Its like comapring a washtub to an automatic washmachine. I reccomend also booking factory tour to have proper experience.

History of Ducati is quite well presented. There are plenty of motorcycles on display from early age to season or two old GP bikes. You can also sit on few new motorcycles. Was expecting a little bit more stuff and better presented showroom but overall quite good.

Great self guided tour. Interesting history of Ducati and the racing and engineering development. Not crowded and employees can speak English.

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.
