The museum does not inform on its website about correct opening hours. So we used our holiday to visit a museum that was closed. A trip of 2500km. And we were about 20 people standing there flabbergasted. From all over Europe. Not a very happy tourist at the moment.

It was absolutely perfect - so many motorcycles, all immaculate!!
I went back the next day hoping that the bookshop would be open but it wasn’t.
Each motorcycle has descriptive information - I totally loved and was absorbed for 90 minutes.
I didn’t need a tour guide which was just as well as he only spoke Italian.
If you know anything at all about Moto Guzzi this is hallowed ground and a must-visit!
Just read up on it before you go to get the best experience.

After visiting the Ducati Museum the Moto Guzzi Museum is a stark contrast in the way it operates and is presented. The first thing you notice us that the building is very old and not very glamorous. That said it is the oldest manufacture of motorcycles in Italy but is well worth seeing if you have a passion for bikes. You do not need to book and it is free to enter but is only open between 3 and 4pm. There is no guided tour but each item or bike on display has a plaque giving a brief description. What I like about the museum is that it is very pure and it is not trying to pretend to be anything else. In fact there are more bikes here than the Ducati museum but you have to bare in mind that both road and race bikes are displayed here. There is a small shop which offers T shirts and memorabilia. There is free parking opposite the main gates and a train station nearby.

Ok we all know it's only open for an hour so get there on time! I went two days in a row and this was a lot better. But don't mark it down for the limited opening. Am I crazy to say this is one of the best motoring displays on the planet? No cheesey interactive displays or attempts to 'enhance' your experience, just 200+ Moto Guzzis! Just what I like in a museum. They are mostly unrestored, just off the race track or road and in a lovely, chaotic very vague order. The original (non-Guzzi named) prototype is there and I think basically every variant ever made since. I reckon not many factories can claim this. It is also a tribute to human ingenuity. Some of the machines were way ahead of their time. Suitable for any petrol head or mechanical geek actually. I believe that like many things Italian, it can be unreliable in its opening hours and certainly you can't stay a minute past 1600 hrs so do what I did- aim for two days there and hope to get one in. The area around Lake Como is beautiful so lots to see there in between visits. Oh I went specifically to see the beautiful 8 cylinder 8 carburetor 500cc racing engine but for you here are some external valve springs.

Before my visit I found it very difficult to get information on how to get to the museum. I caught a train to Mandello del Lario and the museum is right there opposite the station. Waiting for museum to open (for one hour a day) I chatted with some guys who had ridden their Guzzis in which was a good start to my visit. The museum have a collection of almost one one of every Guzzi every produced. They are all working models which are still used on occasion for special shows etc. I was glad I had done my homework on the opening hours and what to expect. The guide didn't speak English which was a bit disappointing but then we are in Italy and fortunately for me one of the visitors interpreted.
I was disappointed that on the wall of fame there was no badge from any Australian Moto Guzzi club but that's not up to the museum to fix. I'd recommend this visit for any motorcycle enthusiast or anybody who, like me, is just curious and enjoys history and learning about something new.

We spent six weeks driving around Europe & being the owner of a Moto Guzzi, the factory visit was a definite. The Lake Como area is worth visiting just on its own so with the factory & museum almost on the lake edge it is a no brainer. Unfortunately you do not get access to the factory & the museum is only open for one hour per day but is still well worth the visit for anyone who is remotely interested in the brand.

The museum is right next to the factory, and right on beautiful Lake Como. The tour is free and the people friendly. The only bad thing is it is only open for tours one day per week. Great gift shop too!

This is an old school museum, which is fitting for a heritage marque. If you love Moto Guzzis, according to my husband, it's like a trip to a religious site. There are indeed a truly remarkable number of bikes there, some of them very interesting, even for non-afficionados like me. However, there aer soooo many of them cheek by jowl without muhc interpretation, so it gets a little repetitive if you're not an expert. Also, it's not air conditioned. When i was there in late August it was unbearbably hot and humid inside. It didn'tseem to bother the true enthusiasts though and if you are one, I recommende it highly

It is a bit of a challenge to visit, but if you're a fan, well worth the trip ;-)

Sorry for the very slow reply, I've been offline.
You can walk from the ferry pier to the museum in about 15 minutes. I didn't see any taxis around while there. We were staying in Mandello and had use of a car.

I'm travelling to Italy in June and staying in bellagio for 3 nights ! I was wondering what time this museum is open? I know that it's only open an hour a day but I'm unsure of what time of day it is? Also does anyone know the best public transport from bellagio to the museum?

Hello,
Interested in touring the museum. Will be in Milan Oct 14 to 18 2015.
We are dependent on public transit. Is there a train or bus from Milan?
Written September 3, 2015
Hi there sorry not sure, Google will have bus routes and timetable, be aware that you only get 1 hour for a visit to museum and you don't get to see the factory, so you could spend a lot of time travelling for little reward. Enjoy
