Flame-red Lamborghini in front of the factory
Known as the Land of Motors, northern Italy is home to some of the world's premier motor manufacturers. From Turin (home of Fiat), through Milan, Modena, and Bologna, if it has wheels and an engine, wears a "Made in Italy" badge and makes your pulse quicken, it was most likely crafted here.

COST Restaurant and Lounge bar
Restaurant
Via Tito Speri, ang. Via Maroncelli 8, Milan; Tel.: 02-62690631
Light is the unifying theme of this lounge-restaurant installed in the courtyard of a late 19th century building which was formerly a carpenter's shop. The loft-like space has been divided into three linked rooms on a single floor: a bar, a restaurant and a lounge. Come here for a cocktail with friends or stay on for dinner. The imaginative and laid-back decor invites you to linger.

Caffe' Platti
Cafe/Sandwich Bar
Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, 72, Turin; Tel.: 011-5069056
Come to Platti for the best sandwich selection in Turin. All the bread is homemade, the little pastries are attractive and they make their own marrons glaces and giandujotti (chocolate hazelnut wedges). The period furnishings were designed by Cesare Valabrega in 1875. This historic café is conveniently located near the train station so is a perfect stop when arriving in or leaving town. It is handicapped accessible, too, and is Turin's only historic café that meets this requirement.
