Heads Up
  • Day 3: 7h30 driving — plan rest stops
  • Book museum and major ruin entries ahead where timed access matters
  • choose stays with parking whenever possible
  • in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Verona, park once and walk
  • avoid adding "just one more stop" on long driving days, because this route works best when each day has one big moment
