    Hey guys, i am in Italy and plan on making a trip to Maranello for a day or so. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do and how much it will cost me? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    Try using the search function to find out exactly what you can and cannot do

    I think the short anser is Galleria Ferrari and loads of merchandise shops

    Unless you've prescheduled a visit to the factory, that will be out. Probably the best non-factory thing you can do is visit some of the local repair shops around town. Most of them have some pretty neat machinery being serviced.

    Countwake,
    Do you own a Ferrari? Because if you do, you can arrange a factory tour.I did that in 2003 and can give you some some advice on how to arrange it. If you do not, I believe there is not a way to get in. Having said that, there was a young guy in my tour who did not have a Ferrari but his father did and that somehow got him in.

    Katman,

    I own a 365 GTC/4. I will be in Italy next May. Could you let me know how to schedule a tour when you are an owner? Thanks, Rich

    Do a search if you need more detail - its been asked every month - the short answer is ask your local franchise dealer or FNA

    Go to the Ferrari store across the street from the factory gates, look around (free). Go next door and have lunch at the Cavalino (not expensive) and stand around outside and watch the expensive stuff go in and out of the factory gates (free) - if you have a car, find your way to the Fiorano track and you can see through the fence in a couple of places (free) if the weather is OK. The museum is first class I hear - but have never been.
    If you want to spend a few more bucks and take a chance on who you might see, try "Montana" for lunch around 1PM. Enjoy

    Maranello isn't big. What you want to see is concentrated near the factory.
    If you are lucky you can even see some testing on Fiorano.
