Ducati factory and museum contact details

[marchesini]

Thinking of doing a two day break before christmas with the better half. A day at the Ducati museum, factory and shop and another in the town doing a bit of shopping and eating. So:
Do I just turn up and then take a look around or
Do I have to pre-book to look around the factory?
What else is there to do - factory tour, museum and the shop?
I assume it's in Bologna as it's pretty cheap to go direct from Gatwick?

How near is the Ferrari place - worth a visit?

Contact details, phone numbers, who to speak to, opening hours and when they are shut for christmas would be most useful.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards all

Ba, from the south is not that expensive, but the later you leave booking the flight, they go up in prices. BA Italy (http://www.britishairways.com/travel/lowfarescntry/public/en_gb?depCntry=GB&arrGroup=italy)

Yeah, I know but the Ducati site was playing up yesterday so thought I ask the fountain of knowledge here for a quick answer.

Cheers anyway - Ducati seems to be working now and surprisingly easy to find the droids I'm looking for. Bloody italians aye, never fail to surprise me.
