The Lamborghini factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese is one of the few working supercar production facilities in the world that opens its doors to visitors. Located halfway between Bologna and Modena — about 30 km from each — it offers a rare combination: a world-class museum and, for those who book in advance, a guided walk through the actual production lines where current models are assembled by hand. This page covers what to expect, how to book, how to get there, and how to combine a factory visit with other experiences in Emilia-Romagna.
The Lamborghini Museum
Address: Via Modena, 12, 40011 Sant’Agata Bolognese BO
Hours: Monday–Saturday 9:30–18:00 (last entry 17:00); closed Sunday
Tickets: Check the official Lamborghini Museum website for current prices and to book in advance.
The museum traces the full arc of Lamborghini’s history — from its founding in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, a tractor manufacturer from the Po Valley who decided to build his own sports car after a disagreement with Enzo Ferrari, to the company’s current position as one of the world’s leading supercar manufacturers.
The collection includes the cars that defined the brand: the Miura (widely credited as the world’s first supercar), the Countach, the Diablo, and the Murciélago. Current models including the Huracán, Urus, and Revuelto are also on display alongside prototypes and racing variants. Interactive simulators and rotating exhibitions complete the experience.
Allow 1.5–2 hours for the museum alone.
The Lamborghini Factory Tour
The factory tour is a separate, bookable experience that takes visitors through the actual production lines at Sant’Agata. It is led by official Lamborghini guides in English and covers the key stages of vehicle assembly: bodywork, engine fitting, dyno testing, and final quality control.
The experience typically lasts 60–75 minutes and is combined with museum entry. Key things to know before you go:
- Book well in advance — factory tour slots are limited and sell out quickly, particularly in summer and during school holidays.
- No photography inside the factory — cameras, phones, and bags must be left in secure lockers before entering the production areas. Photography is permitted in the museum.
- Age restrictions may apply — check the current policy when booking, as children under a certain age are sometimes not permitted on the factory floor.
- Languages — official tours are in English. If you need another language (Italian, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese), Emilia Delizia can arrange a translator to accompany your group.
How to Get to the Lamborghini Factory from Bologna
Sant’Agata Bolognese is approximately 30 km from Bologna city centre. By car it takes around 30 minutes via the SP568. There is no direct train, and local bus services from Bologna are infrequent and slow. The practical options for visitors without a car are:
- Taxi from Bologna — approximately 30 minutes, around €35–45 one way.
- Private transfer — bookable in advance, more comfortable for groups and flexible on timing.
- Organised tour — the most practical option if you want transport, logistics, and a guide all handled. We pick up from Bologna, Modena, Florence, Parma, and other locations and can accommodate groups from 2 to 100 people.

Sant’Agata Bolognese sits at the heart of Emilia-Romagna’s Motor Valley — the same countryside that produces Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar, and Prosciutto di Parma. A full day from Bologna can combine a morning at food producers (a Parmigiano Reggiano dairy, a balsamic acetaia, or a Prosciutto cellar) with an afternoon at the Lamborghini factory.
Other Motor Valley stops within easy reach of Sant’Agata include:
- Ferrari Museum in Maranello — about 40 minutes from Sant’Agata
- Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum in Funo di Argelato — the founder’s personal museum, about 40 minutes away
- Pagani in San Cesario sul Panaro — the smallest and most exclusive of the Motor Valley manufacturers, about 30 minutes from Sant’Agata
