The brand name, with Milan as its trademark and the Visconti dragon in its emblem, was founded in 1910 and symbolizes sporty vehicles with its sophisticated design. Anyone who wants to live a 1950s travel experience on the magical streets of Italy has definitely made the right choice in selecting an Alfa Romeo. The Giulietta Spider is part of the Italian lifestyle. In the 60s it was associated with the aura of Alfa Romeo’s successful racing cars at the time between the wars. Alfa Romeo swiftly conquered the American market with their two-seater convertible and won a fan base that has lasted until today. 16 NOSTALGIC Alfa Romeo 17 GIULIETTA SPIDER (1955-1962) AND GIULIA SPIDER (1962-1965) Even the name of this legendary series from Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider.

  • OBERAMMERGAU Passion Play 2022
    The unmissable, once-a-decade OBERAMMERGAU Passion Play 2022 A collection of tours featuring the Passion Play, which also include: The Austrian Tyrol Lake Constance The Way of St. James Mozart’s Salzburg Dream Castles of Bavaria 1 EXPERIENCE AN ICON OF WORLD TRAVEL IN 2022 Taking place just once every decade, this legendary play owes its origins to a deadly plague and its almost 400-year history was disrupted in 2020 by a modern-day pandemic. Thankfully, it will now take place throughout 2022 so there’s a new opportunity to appreciate this iconic event. If you’re looking for a holiday to remember, join us in beautiful Bavaria and experience this incredible performance for yourself. All Oberammergau images © Passion Play Oberammergau An extraordinary heritage 2020 was set to mark the 42nd performance of the now-iconic Passion Play, but its schedule was disrupted due to the global outbreak of COVID-19 – a modern-day pandemic no-one could have predicted yet somewhat ironic considering the play’s origins. The Passion Play’s wheels were first set in motion back in 1633 when the Great Plague descended upon the residents of Oberammergau, a charming Bavarian village. Its citizens made a solemn vow that if their lives were spared, they would perform a play depicting the story of Christ’s life, suffering, death and resurrection every ten years. Amazingly, there were no further deaths as a result of the plague and the Passion Play officially began a year later in 1634. The event has only seen a few other incidents where it had to be postponed or cancelled throughout its almost 400- year history, but it will return in 2022 to wow audiences from around the world.

  • Inghams Guide and Insights to Lake Maggiore
    Inghams guide and insights to Lake Maggiore Introduction to Lake Maggiore Lake Maggiore’s rich and colourful past seems ever present as you explore and enjoy this spectacular lake with shores bordered with lush Mediterranean vegetation, and the backdrop of the Alps in the distance. Ever since Napoleon built the Simplon highway from Geneva to Milan, which ran to the shores of Lake Maggiore, it became part of the Grand Tour, a haven for Europeans and British pioneers. Seduced by its Mediterranean climate, they built imposing villas and beautiful gardens attracting aristocrats, poets, writers and composers of the time. It was the setting for Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms” and it is easy to imagine his heroes fleeing from the Italian police in a rowing boat, trying to reach the Swiss border of the lake. Kings and Queens, writers, poets and composers such as Verdi, Wagner and Rossini have enjoyed the same panoramic views, nearby islands, exquisite botanical gardens, woodlands and tranquility that exist today. Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake on the south side of the Alps. The west bank is in the Italian region of Piedmont and the right in Lombardy. In the north Lake Maggiore crosses the Swiss border into the canton of Ticino. It is 65 km long and 10 km across at its widest point between Pallanza and Stresa. In spring and early summer the shores are lined with oleander and the scent of orange blossom pervades. Ever present are the magnificent palm trees and the heavenly scent of verbena. Across from Lake Maggiore lie the Borromean Islands and Isola Bella.
