We visited the Lamborghini museum for a tour of the factory and expected a great deal from it, especially given the price of the tour, which wasn’t cheap. However, our expectations fell short, and the tour failed to deliver on the promise of the Lamborghini name and experience.
Upon our arrival, we were shocked to discover that the vast parking lot adjacent to the factory is reserved for employees only and we had to turn around to look for a parking spot. The nearest public parking lot was completely full, so we wasted 15 minutes looking for a spot elsewhere, eventually parking somewhere in the woods - without knowing if we’d even find the car again by the end of the visit. As a result, we were late.
Because we were late, the hostess had us join our tour that had already started, so we missed the opening explanation. Since tours begin every 10 minutes, we were disappointed that we couldn't join a later group and experience the tour from the beginning.
Another issue was our guide. He was a perfectly nice young man, but his English and accent were nearly impossible to understand. On top of that, because of the noise, you can only hear him through a Bluetooth audio receiver connected to a headset - both provided at the start of the tour. While the idea is nice, it doesn't work well: the Bluetooth connection kept cutting in and out, so we kept missing parts of the explanation, which was already difficult enough to follow.
The tour itself is restricted to a very narrow path through the work area, and for understandable safety reasons, you're required to stay on it at all times. The problem is that the view of what you're supposed to see is often blocked by carts of auto parts, workers, or equipment, and you can’t shift your position to get a better look. It's also not very clear what you’re meant to focus on at each station- the explanations are very brief, lacking detail or insight, and the whole thing felt rushed. I can’t say I learned a single thing about the car or its manufacturing process that I didn’t already know - and I came in knowing nothing.
The tour ends with a view of the finished, assembled cars waiting to be road-tested. It’s the only time you get to see the cars up close - but by then, they’re fully assembled, and it’s basically like spotting a Lamborghini at a red light and admiring it before the light turns green.
Overall, the tour was quite disappointing, especially considering the relatively high price of it. I would not recommend it to...
Read moreSummer is always a great time to take a family vacation, and this year we decided to embark on a car tour through Italy. Our first stop was Florence, followed by a visit to the Lamborghini factory in Bologna.
As someone who has toured a number of manufacturing facilities, I was particularly excited for this car factory visit. While I'm usually more familiar with factories producing door building hardware like Italian Door Hardware but it is my first time ever to visit automotive production line. And what an experience it was!
The Lamborghini URUS production line was incredibly impressive. The factory was clean, organized, and highly automated, with a big focus on Industry 4.0 technologies like AI and robotics. We weren't able to take any photos, but we got an up-close look at the production process - from the chassis assembly all the way through the electrical system installation.
The level of craftsmanship was also amazing to see. While the factory leverages a lot of advanced automation, many of the interior leather and trim components are still hand-crafted by skilled Italian artisans. It was a true testament to Lamborghini's commitment to quality.
Overall, it was a fascinating glimpse into the manufacturing prowess of one of Italy's most iconic automotive brands. I came away with a deep appreciation for the engineering and attention to detail that goes into building these incredible machines. If you ever have the chance to tour the Lamborghini factory, I highly recommend it!

Read moreI try to be helpful with your visit if you decide to visit this museum when I do my reviews. 🅿️ PARKING: There is none where you pull up that says reception. Go back out of the entrance and take a left. There is parking about 150 Meters down the road. You will see spots on both sides. Two complaints here. Why not put a sign stating no parking. The person at reception only spoke Italian. He could not provide any information in any of the 5 languages we speak besides Italian. ENTRANCE: If you are walking into the entrance you will see the museum entrance to the right of the reception/store. TICKETS: The ticket staff were outstanding. They covered the majority of questions right from the start. Then they answered our questions professionally. BATHROOMS: First floor once you enter take a Left and it is center door. MUSEUM: Like others have stated. Not much here. There are 2 floors with about 25 cars. The history wall at entrance was very nicely done. On the first floor you have the older models. Each car has a placard with good info on each vehicle. I personally enjoyed the second floor vehicles. There is a simulator that you can ride that last 7 minutes for 20 euros. We saw it on the second floor and was told by a person there that the next slot was 2hours even though nobody was there at the moment. The bottom line is this if you like cars like one in our group you will like this museum. If you are not then I would suggest skipping the museum. STORE: Way overpriced. 600 Euro for Lamborghini gym bag 😯 as one example. FOOD/DRINK: ...
