Driving in Italy can be a drastically different experience from the UK. Italy drives on the right-hand side of the road, unlike the UK, so always ensure to keep to the right and overtake on the left. Make sure you're familiar with local traffic rules, including paying attention to the ZTL zones (limited traffic zones) particularly in city centres where driving may be restricted at certain times.
Inside Tip
Driving is the best way to explore the beauty of Lombardy from the rustic countryside vistas of Bergamo to the stylish streets of Milan. Choose a compact car for city driving or an SUV to traverse the rugged landscapes of the Alps.
Exploring the Beauty
Lombardy offers a range of attractions from the glittering Lake Como in the west to the historic cathedral of Milan in the east. Each city in Lombardy has its charm waiting for you to explore. Feel the thrill of driving through tunnels and gorges of the Alpines or cruise along the tranquil lakeside roads of the Lombardy lakes - the choice is yours.
Travel Tips
Know that Italians are passionate drivers, so stay patient and respectful on the road. Beware the speed limits which vary between 50 km/h in urban areas, 110-130 km/h on highways, and 70-90 km/h on non-urban roads. Always have enough Euros at hand for tolls, parking, or any unexpected expenses.
Life's a Beach
While Lombardy is not known for its beaches, it does boast a stunning swimming coast along the Lombardy lakes - a perfect escape from the summer heat. With your trusty rental you're free to explore these serene retreats at your own pace.
The Lombardy Experience
The best time to visit Lombardy depends on what you're looking for. Spring and Autumn offer pleasant weather ideal for driving. Summer can get busy and hot especially during events like Milan Fashion Week. Winter turns Lombardy into a Winter Wonderland with numerous ski resorts to choose from.
For an authentic Lombardy experience, embrace La Dolce Vita - the sweet life. Indulge in local delicacies, chat with local people, and meander leisurely down the beautiful roads. With your rental car, the Lombardy region is yours to unfold. Discover the region at your own pace, in your own style, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
