Imola track

Imola Circuit

Imola Circuit is a must if you are visiting northern Italy and you are an F1 fan. I’ve loved seeing the circuit, with a guided tour. We were driven around the track, stopped and walked to see the track better. Unlike Monza, where the track tour is very fast, driven at speed, the Imola track […]

Ristorante Montana. Inside

Ristorante Montana

Ristorante Montana is a very special place in Maranello and the third post in my series on Ferrari. As a Schumacher fan I read about the restaurant in biographies I read about him. This is where Schumacher had his meals with mechanics from the factory. It was popular with mechanics before and drivers for decades. […]

Ferrari Museums: Maranello

Ferrari Museum in Maranello is the second museum. Yesterday I talked about Ferrari Modena which celebrates the life and legacy of Enzo Ferrari. Today I am sharing details on the Maranello museum. It’s in walking distance of the Ferrari factory, which is the only place where Ferraris are being made. We also booked a factory […]

Ferrari Museums Modena

Ferrari Museums: Modena

There are two museums celebrating Ferrari, one in Modena and the second one in Maranello. I’ve been to both and today I’m talking about the Ferrari Museum in Modena. It is where Enzo Ferrari was born and the museum revolves around him. It’s about his life and the story ends when he died, ignoring the […]

Bologna from above

Bologna

I knew Bologna will be on my list of places to see in Italy, mainly because of its university. It is the oldest in the world, while Oxford is the oldest in the English-speaking world and 3rd oldest overall. Besides this very specific reason, Bologna has a lot to offer to people who otherwise might […]

Shanti Vegan

Shanti Vegan is a vegan restaurant in Maranello. We’ve been there twice, in the afternoon to get some take away for dinner, and the following day for breakfast. The ladies running the place are so friendly and helpful. We managed to chat in Italian after making clear that I fully understand Italian, but I have […]

Venice

Today I’m making a quick round-up of our stop in Venice. I blogged about the vegan restaurant, La Tecia Vegana, and about Doge’s Palace. Now I’m going to share lots of pictures from the city and a few highlights. Venice is well known for its canals, but the small streets are just as delightful. Restaurant […]

La Tecia Vegana

La Tecia Vegana

La Tecia Vegana is the only vegan restaurant in Venice, but there is another one in the mainland Venice that I blogged about previously, Vgloso. As you can imagine, La Tecia Vegana is a very busy place, so booking is necessary. The restaurant opened in 2016. The restaurant is in Santa Marta, a location that […]

Doge's Palace interior court

Doge’s Palace

Doge’s Palace is one of the best known landmarks in Venice. It was the first place we saw on our visit to the city. The oldest building dates back to the 11th century. There is so much to see, from the beautiful rooms with stunning ceilings to the jail underneath, the Bridge of Sight. I’ve […]

View of Verona

Verona

Today I’m sharing a round-up of Verona. It is my favourite city in Italy, from the ones I’ve been to. I liked it more than Venice, so that’s indicative of how amazing I think it is. So far I blogged about locations in Verona. I shared my views on two restaurants, Flora (vegan) and Zazie […]
