Monza F1
In a small town outside of Milan lays one of the oldest Grand Prix circuit tracks in Formula 1, it is called the Autodromo di Monza. It is one of the last old fashioned, historic European tracks. For the 58th year, this historic track will host the 2009 Italian Grand Prix. 2009 will also mark the 85th anniversary of the track itself. The layout of this track is definitely geared towards top speeds. Electrified Ferrari fans are sure to be in abundance, supporting their dominating Ferrari team.
Where to stay?
For a comparatively small town, you would not expect such an array of accommodations, however Monza isn’t just any small town and it is well supplied with many comfortable abodes for your stay. Only 15 minutes from Milan and facing the former summer residence of the Royal House of Savoy, the four star Hotel De La Villa Monza would be an excellent option. Not to be out-shone, the AS Hotel Monza’s 66 double rooms were designed to better satisfy distinct, business clients who demand a high-quality standard. And also boasting a four star rating, those 66 rooms are sure to be reserved quickly. The Royal Falcone – Monza is another “Impressive” four star accommodation smack dab in the center of Monza. With Wi-Fi and 20″ flat screen TV’s, the Royal Falcone seems to be the most technologically hip option.
For the more expense-wary traveler, the three star Standard Hotel Milano is still close to the action and offers all the basic amenities: Wi-Fi, Air Conditioning, free breakfast, and “sound proofed rooms.”
