Hi,

anyone here with experiences on rest areas along the autostrada del brennero between Brenner Pass and Verona? Any place to recommend for a breakfast stop with a two year old. We will start very early morning (around 5am) in Munich to get to Tuscany by mid afternoon and will need to do first stop somewhere between Brenner, Bolzano/Bozen and Verona. I want to have the Brenner Pass cleared before we stop so that we avoid the heavy traffic.

Additionally anyone with experience with the prepaid card Via-Card to a pay for the toll in Italy? I do not get why it should be better than a regular credit card. The lanes at the toll booths which accept the Via-Card accept credit cards, too.
