The Great Dolomites Road crosses three regions: Südtirol, Trentino, and Veneto. It is a classic itinerary to visit some of the most scenic parts of the Dolomites. I advised anyone driving along it is to begin in Bozen (Bolzano in Italian). The road is paved and very well developed; however, it is very curvy with a maximum gradient of 12% and requires real driving. I only partly recommended the route for teams because the streets are very narrow and confusing, especially from the Fassa Valley onwards. This guide will help you go on the entire road, with clear color maps that indicate the distance and time between places, in addition to photos of the localities. It gives you the route to follow between the different stages. Numerous viewpoints and parking areas on the Great Dolomite Road allow a panoramic view of the surrounding Dolomites. The guide starts with a description of the attractions in Bolzano, the Ötzi – the Iceman Museum, Bolzano's castles, and nearby locations. It then leads you in a drive from Bolzano to Cortina d'Ampezzo, going through the Carezza Lake, Val di Fassa, and the Tofana. It contains many reviews for the best-recommended restaurants at the location described. An extensive section full of useful information on how to get to Bolzano and Cortina, and how to go back, plus what kind of services are available to rent a bike, the favorite means of transportation to ride the Great Road, are available.

Although it certainly has a thriving tourism industry, Ferrara is not on the typical foreign tourist's itinerary, which makes it perfect for those tourists who want to get off the beaten path of Venice-Florence-Rome and soak in some authentic northern Italian culture. It's characterized by twisting medieval cobblestoned streets, a Duomo (cathedral) with a looming Gothic facade, and--best of all--a castle straight out of storybooks, complete with towers, moat, and drawbridges (that you can cross during the day). This is a guide to Ferrara. There are extensive descriptions and photos of the attractions. The Estense Castle history is covered in detail.
