Distances and Driving Directions in Italy

Tools to calculate driving directions in Italy for any Italian city, town or village plus tables showing Italy driving distances and driving times between major cities:

Driving distances in Italy may be smaller (in comparison to Canada, USA, Australia etc.) but it's more intense, and maintaining one's concentration level on the roads is essential.

Nonetheless my experience of driving in Italy, outside of August and outside the city centers, has been a pleasure. Italy has some of the most dramatic and filmed and photographed scenery in the world, and much of it is off the main tourist routes just waiting to be discovered.

In order to get the most pleasure from my trips around Italy I have 2 rules for myself:

• I do not drive on the highways of Italy during August - it's the period when most Italians take their Summer vacations. Queues and traffic jams are unavoidable.
• and if I'm discovering a new Italian city I get to where I need to go, leave the car, and rely on public and other private transport for the duration of my stay.

Below are some tables to help you with distances and driving directions in Italy. The first table shows driving distances between Italian major cities and the 2nd table shows estimated driving times. For cities that are not shown on the table use the special tool for calculating distances and driving directions in Italy.
