Weekend trip to Italy - Part 4/5 - The Ferrari museum in Maranello
It was so weird to drive through Maranello because it was a very small town but there was something in the air. There was an energy, a majestic vibe which you could really feel. Then more and more Ferraris appeared, driving on the road. I got more and more excited as soon as I heard the engines roaring!
In front of the museum there were some Ferraris lined up, getting ready to drive around in a convoy. It was great to see and hear so many Ferraris live and in action. After they left, we entered the museum and paid the 15€ entry fee each.
F1 Section:
My highlight was to see the F40 and F50 in real life, as they are actually my favorite models of Ferrari. I think that they look more aggressive than the other ones, which I love. I also used to have a small F50 toy car as a little boy, so this was like a dream from childhood coming true!

At the end you could find the driving simulators, which were pretty crowded. I was really looking forward to that part but have to say that I got really disappointed. You had to pay 25€ extra to drive 7 minutes in that thing! I mean the graphics weren´t all that good and even real life go kart racing is cheaper. And I´m sure, kart racing will provide more adrenalin and fun as well.
Thank you for reading! Part 5/5 will probably be uploaded on Sunday and will be about a road trip around Lake Garda with loads of stunning pictures!
love the photos! thanks for sharing this, my husband will flip about it.
upvoted and resteemed ;)
Thank you so much! I was wondering if you and your husband have seen the post already. Hope he likes it! ;-)
No way, you've been to Maranello?! I've never met anyone apart from me who's been there! My dad's the biggest Ferrari nerd, so I've probably been there 10 times - and stayed at the Ferrari hotel across from the factory every time (of course ;-) ). It's such a cute little town! Tell me, did you go to the ice cream store where they have 50 different kinds of gelato?
Haha 10 times is a lot! Nooo I didn´t know about that store till now :-(
Must say I wasn´t too impressed with the gelato in Italy. Maybe I expected to much but I´ve had much better ice cream in Vienna and Hamburg. But that´s probably because I haven´t been to the ice cream store in Maranello :-D
It is! But what can you do when your dad's obsessed? Just showing some family support and getting a trip to Italy out of it, haha! ;-)
Haha, probably! I'd say you can get lucky and go to some really nice places, but obviously there's also gonna be some average places. I guess it's like that everywhere :-)
