Heads Up
  • Day 1: 5h 9m driving — plan rest stops
  • Reserve ahead for the Colosseum, Florence’s major museum entries, Venice headline sights, and Milan Duomo rooftop if those matter to you.
  • Park once in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan whenever possible; the joy is in walking, not threading a car through restricted historic streets.
  • Italian city centers often have limited-traffic zones, so double-check hotel parking instructions and approach roads before arrival.
  • This route stays comfortably under the user’s pace limit, with no more than 3 core stops per day and no late-start final stops.
