Hello
We are doing a 3 week European Honeymoon. We are spending 4 nights in this region. I already have the Three Kings Food Tour booked, but I was hoping for some help on other must see sights.
Thanks!

I consider the Ferrari Museum to be a must-see excursion from Modena. Shuttle buses depart from Modena train station a couple of times in the morning; check schedules.

If you are into motorcycles the Ducati factory tour is fun. (Bologna) I did it with my son. We took a taxi to get there.... You have to register on line to reserve a time/day.
Also, food tours, you are missing out if you don't do one with Alessandro http://tours.italiandays.it/index.asp?IDcategoria=1
These guys offer other tours as well.

A day trip to Ravenna to see the beautiful 5th-6th century Byzantine mosaics. In Bologna, a visit to the University.

If you like walking then follow the 4km Portico di San Luca in Bologna. Also climb the tallest leaning tower in Italy while in Bologna - Asinelli Tower. If you like sport go to a Bologna FC match. And if you like food head for the Quadrilatero. As Chani says the university is also interesting.

The other night we watched the first episode of Chef's Table, stream-able on Netflix. It was a nice profile of Massimo Bottura, who operates a 3-star restaurant, Osteria Francescana, in Modena. Worthwhile if you are into the food, even if you, like me, won't soon be spending that kind of cash on a dinner.
