A visit to Italy is not complete without driving through its stunning scenic mountains, indulging in delicious handmade pasta, and immersing yourself in a culture steeped in traditions passed on through generations. While tourists typically make their way to Rome, Venice, and Florence to get a taste of the country, the best way to skip tourist traps in Italy is to experience a scenic road trip through the charming mountainous Abruzzo region.
While there are things tourists should never do when visiting Italy, such as ordering a latte, renting a vehicle to embark on a road trip surely isn't one of them. Italy is full of stunning crowd-free destinations, such as the Abruzzo region and can be reached as a day trip from Rome in just over an hour.
