“Driving in Italy is not as scary as you think.

If there’s anything I want you to take away from this post, it’s that you don’t need to be scared of driving in Italy. Many of the stereotypes are outdated and inaccurate, and places with challenging driving like Naples are exceptions, not the rule.

And while there might be a lot of rules in this post, don’t let that dissuade you. There are a lot of rules in your country, too; it can be overwhelming to see them all in one place.

If you’re looking for a gentle introduction to driving in Italy, I recommend renting a car for just part of your trip and exploring the countryside for a few days. Tuscany is a fantastic place to do this if you’re on a typical Rome-Florence-Venice itinerary.

And if you’re up for a longer road trip in Italy, there are so many great places. Puglia is wonderful in the south. The lakes and mountains are wonderful in the north. Sicily is a bigger challenge, but badass and worth it.

Go enjoy your Italy trip — I think you’re going to love it!”
