The Factory Museum
The Lamborghini factory also have a company museum on the grounds. This houses many special cars including the last made of several models and several Formula 1 cars.
Museum Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 to 12 a.m. and 02:00 to 05:00 p.m.
Entrance is free of charge.
I am told that they require 4 days notice to arrange to visit the museum.
The factory also closes for two weeks vacation each year in August so contact the factory regarding dates if visiting around this time of year.
Usually factory tours must be authorized and it depends on the period of time because, if it is a time when pre-series or other special models are being built, it is not allowed to go inside the production plant. Factory tours are not conducted regularly and not to anyone.
TRAVEL DIRECTIONS:
Closest airport is Bologna airport, (not Bologna Forli).
To get to the factory, other than by car, you can take a bus leaving from Bologna main bus station. It will take about 45 minutes to get to Sant'Agata. The bus stop is just 5 minutes walk from the factory. Or, you can take a train to San Giovanni in Persiceto (which is located 6 km from Sant'Agata Bolognese. From there, you should take a taxi, although being a small station, usually there are no taxis waiting in front of it.
