Driving in Italy: Things to Know

Driving in Italy, particularly in Sicily, can be a thrilling experience. However, the traffic rules and driving conditions might differ from those in the UK.

1. Driving Side

Unlike the UK, Italy drives on the right side of the road, a common attribute in many European countries. Remember to adjust accordingly especially at intersections and roundabouts.

2. Speed Limits

Speed limits vary. However, in urban areas like Milazzo, the standard limit is 50 km/h. Exceeding the speed limit attracts heavy fines, and the enforcement is strict.

3. Parking

Milazzo, like many historical towns, offers paid parking zones. We recommend downloading parking apps to help you locate nearby parking areas. Always look out for 'Zona Disco' signposts, indicating paid parking spots.
