The Dolomites
Before moving on from Italy…I just want to say that The Dolomites are absolutely amazing. When in northern Italy, avoid the tourist hustle in Venice and drive a few hours north to see Bolzano, Gardner Pass, and other more remote locations. You won’t be let down.
Note…if done right, you'll find this is not a tourist haven. The locals may be a bit less inviting. But once you get past the lukewarm exterior, you’ll find it’s worth your time.
