driving from Bologna to Ravello

We have an October drive from Bologna to Ravello, so I was wondering which route is the most interesting. Would love to hear your ideas for stops along the way. Thanks, Susan

I'll second the AutoGrill - love stopping at them. Grab a quick lunch, or just enjoy all the "stuff" they have for sale. A lot of tour buses stop at the AutoGrill too.

The Autoroute down the center of the country, connecting the big cities, will be fastest but also charges tolls (about 40 euros for this route). A coastal road would likely be more scenic but take longer. See www.viamichelin.com for their route suggestions. Train is an easy alternative to get you from Bologna to Salerno, if you don't already have the car earlier in the trip, or if you don't have plans for small-town stops along the way.

Third for the Autogrill !! I read Robertos' post and just giggled!

Make sure you stop at one that has the fork and knife on the sign on the highway, not just a cup.

Wonderful cheeses, olive oil, balsamic. pasta, breads, cured

meats, wine...the list just goes on and on. Great for picnic food.

Great Panini, some have cafeteria style restaurants, all fresh food.

For a stop in a town, Oriveto is almost half way between Bologna and Ravello.

Easy access from the A1.
