F-trip from Milan > Monaco > Bolzano > Innsbruck > Lazise > Maranello

Next May the 6th Historic Grand Prix will be held in Monte-Carlo (http://www.formula1monaco.com/). A very special event as many people have told me.

I was also invited to join the Dutch F-Chat section on their trip to Italy (http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176095), so I decided to combine both trips:

Thursday: flight to Milan, travelling to Monaco

Friday: Monaco
Saturday: Monaco Historic Grand Prix
Sunday: Monaco Historic Grand Prix

Monday till Wednesday: travelling from Monaco to Bolzano

Later that Wednesday I will be travelling to Innsbruck by train. On the morning of the next day I will meet up with my Dutch F-Chat friends for a couple of fun days in the italian countryside and of course we will be visiting holy ground: Maranello.

I'm interested to know if there will be other F-Chatters present at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, what are the "must-see's" in Monaco and which places are worth visiting on my way from Monaco to Bolzano.

Like to hear from you!

I tried to book a hotel in Monaco but most of them were a bit too expensive... The hotels I could afford were mostly booked.

Gr. Martin

Trey in Menton, Nice, Roquebrune and some of the little places down the cost! these are all accessable by train

 

Thursday and Friday in Roquebrune, Saturday and Sunday in Monaco. Received an e-mail yesterday the hotel in Roquebrune was also fully booked...

 

So now it is 2 night Menton and 2 night Monaco.

Looking forward to it. Thanks for the advice.
