Italy Road Trip 2025
Planning notes for our Italy Road Trip 2025, focusing on scenic routes, toll roads, parking, and the best countryside spots for drone flying!

Preparing for our Italy Road Trip in April 2025, we’re gathering our planning notes to create the perfect countryside adventure—avoiding busy cities and focusing on nature’s beauty. We’re mapping scenic routes through rolling vineyards, towering mountains, and tranquil coastal landscapes. Along the way, we're researching Italy’s toll roads, parking options near nature spots, and the best locations to capture stunning aerial footage with our drone.
These notes will help us (and hopefully inspire you!) to plan an unforgettable road trip through Italy’s most breathtaking rural landscapes.
