It can be strange to imagine that in a country as touristy as Italy, there are still amazing places that have somehow been stowed away. That’s the feeling you get when traveling in Abruzzo.  See one of the best road trips from Rome to Abruzzo.

Stretching from the Apennine mountains to the Adriatic sea, in Central/Southern Italy, Abruzzo comes with everything you can ask for. Beautiful hill-top villages, a coastline with cool beaches, medieval towns, national parks, and lakes. And, of course, finger-licking food. That too, barely two hours from Rome.
