Heads Up
- 1. Most Italian city centers (Rome, Palermo, Venice/Mestre) have 'Zona Traffico Limitato.' Do not drive past the signs with red circles or you'll get a heavy fine in the mail months later! Always look for 'Parcheggio' (parking) outside the old walls.
- 2. Day 1: 7h 53m driving — plan rest stops
- 3. Day 5: 5h 53m driving — plan rest stops
- 4. Day 9: 5h 46m driving — plan rest stops
