Italy

Italy...country of passion, of Ducati, Valentino Rossi....It 's full of cultural places of interest (Tuscany, Roma, Sicily, Venice) and magical landscapes (Tuscany, Dolomites), which make it a first level motorcycling destination.

Roads interest

Country is full of motorcycling roads, as much in the Dolomites than in Tuscany. Search a little and you'll find some funny places to ride.

Road surface quality

It is very good in the north.

Landscapes

Just like in France, they are often very beautiful, and very different from one region to another. I really appreciated Dolomites and its amazing cliffs, Tuscany is really wonderful.

General atmosphere / safety

Ma, it is a bit more 'olé' than anywhere else. You like or you don't, for me it's funny for a few days during holidays. Considering safety, Dolomites are like other areas of the Alps, Tuscany is standard, but I'm not sure I would let my motorcycle in the street at night in Napoli.

Car drivers behaviour

Standard in north...They are pretty good drivers, and don't feel like righters of wrongs. I heard that in south, road rules are just here as 'informations' : 'it would be better to' ...Even in center, you'll discover new concepts like 'Stop priority'.

Speed controls

It's full of automatic speed boxes, on highway, and in every village, as much as I wonder if some are not empty. Anyway, take care !!

If your are from European union, passport or identity card are enough.

  • 1 L of fuel : 1.20 E
