Packing for a Vespa adventure in Italy isn’t like packing for a typical vacation. With Vesping Around, we make sure you're well-prepared by providing a curated travel kit that enhances your experience on the road. Inside your kit, you'll find a stylish and functional backpack, a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, a rain jacket and rain pants for unexpected showers, and a handy booklet with fun Italian expressions to help you connect with locals along the way.
Other Essentials for Your Vespa Journey
Beyond our travel kit, here are a few key items to consider bringing to make your adventure even more comfortable and enjoyable:
1. Comfortable Clothing for the Ride
Layering is key when riding through Italy’s varied landscapes. Light, breathable fabrics work best for warm days, while a sweater or light jacket will keep you comfortable in cooler morning or evening rides. Also, preferred for better safety are long sleeves and long pants. Don’t forget sunglasses and gloves for added comfort and protection.
2. Footwear that Balances Comfort and Function
Closed-toe shoes are required for riding, so opt for lightweight sneakers or casual boots that provide both grip and comfort. Open-toe shoes are highly discouraged during rides.
3. Sun Protection
Italian sunshine can be strong, especially in summer months. Pack a high-SPF sunscreen, a hat for off-the-Vespa exploring, and lip balm with SPF to keep yourself protected.
4. Tech & Photography Essentials
Capture the beauty of Italy on the go! We encourage travelers to bring their own phone sticks, gimbals, or GoPro cameras to document their experience. Most of the Vespas we provide come equipped with phone holders, making navigation and capturing footage easy. Additionally, each Vespa is fitted with a back top box where you can securely store small belongings.
5. Personal Essentials
A small first-aid kit, travel-sized toiletries, and any necessary medications are always a good idea. We also recommend carrying a small pack of tissues and hand sanitizer for those charming, rustic rest stops.
Travel Light, Ride Freely
One of the joys of Vesping Around is the freedom of the open road—packing smart ensures you can enjoy it fully. Since our experiences use most often a one-camp base location approach, you won’t have to worry about constantly moving luggage—just pack what you need for each day’s adventure and enjoy worry-free exploration. With our thoughtfully curated travel kit and these packing tips, you're ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through Italy’s breathtaking countryside.
