Hotel Estense, a Superior three-star hotel that is both contemporary and functional, is one of our city's accommodations that best keeps pace with the times. Situated strategically just a few minutes' walk from the historic centre, and near to the train station and the main clinics and health centres, it is an excellent choice for visiting Modena for any occasion. Just a few minutes' walk from the Palazzo Dei Musei (Museum Palace), hotel guests can visit the renowned Estense Gallery, the city's magnificent Duomo (Cathedral), the Ghirlandina, Piazza Grande (Main Square), all of which are UNESCO world heritage sites (since 1997). The Palazzo Ducale of Modena, which hosts the prestigious Military Academy, is located just 1.5 km away, at the end of the Via Emilia Centro, with its characteristic streets making up the historic centre, offering a great excuse to do some serious shopping.
