Nothing about this Italy route felt like filler, a nearly perfect couple's itinerary.
Modena was a lovely surprise stop, though our hotel room there was smaller and a bit tired compared to the ones in Rome and Venice for the same trip.
My husband dreaded another museum, so the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena was meant to be his one concession, and it's the stop he still brings up months later. All that racing red after days of churches was exactly the switch-up we both needed.
Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena was a nice change of pace from all the churches and history, my husband loved it more than any of the traditional sights honestly.
Rome, Venice and Modena in eleven nights turned out to be the perfect mix for us, ancient history, romantic canals, and then completely unexpectedly a car museum that my husband still brings up months later, the gondola ride at sunset on the Grand Canal was every bit as romantic as the brochures promise and somehow more so in person.
A wonderful route overall, but the Sistine Chapel was so densely packed we were shuffled through in under ten minutes, no chance to just stand and take it in on what was meant to be a slow, special morning.
