It feels like I'm always speeding. Italians drive like crazy. I can't keep up with them. It's better to drive safely and steadily. You can drive slower.

On the Italian highway, I observed that the speed limit on the primary highway is 130, while the other roads are 110. Almost all cars are driving at 130/140. I kept getting overtaken and was forced to drive fast as well. It's strange that there are very few speed cameras. I only saw a few electronic speed signs in some places, showing the current speed. I don't know if I will be fined for speeding ? Italy Q&A

I just returned to my country, and overall it was safe and sound. I didn't encounter any thieves, and my car was also in good condition. First of all, the safety education is quite sufficient, and the journey was like fighting monsters, but in reality it wasn't that scary. Italy's famous attractions not only have police, but also armored vehicles and armed soldiers, making it difficult to imagine how thieves and scammers would operate. Secondly, don't be tempted to park on the roadside. I always use paid parking lots, and there are people watching over them in Pisa. In addition, Italy may have an average economic situation, which is reflected not only in prices, but also in the scarcity of black people. Even in the capital Rome, there are slightly more black people, but even they look down on Italy. Finally, let's talk about ztl. Italy's historic districts are relatively small and essentially tourist attractions, so parking outside the ztl will not cause much inconvenience ? Italy Q&A

Two trips to Italy in two years, passing through Sicily, Dolomites, Tuscany, and some other cities. Personally, I feel that the security in Italy is not a big problem. Tourist attractions are always crowded, which is unavoidable anywhere. Just be mindful of your belongings, keep some loose change in your pocket, and don't expose large amounts of cash. We added a small combination lock to our backpacks for extra security. Thieves also choose their targets, just like in our own country. I've seen many foreigners leaving their bags far away while taking photos, and their belongings were not stolen. There are armed police guarding various attractions in Italy, so I didn't feel unsafe at all ? Italy Q&A

I have an order to pick up the car in Florence in the morning and then go to Tuscany to play for a day. Because the car agency closes at 6 o'clock, I am worried that I will not be able to return the car on time, so I have arranged to return the car the next morning. But this will have an overnight problem. My landlord in Florence said that most car agencies in the city have cooperative parking lots. I can park the car there that night and go to the agency the next day to handle the procedures. Is that right? Are there any places to park overnight ? Italy Q&A

Milan's ZTL is not scary. You can spend 5 euros to buy a ticket tied to the license plate number. Florence is the one that gives me a headache. I clearly checked the route to Piazza Michelangelo and it was not within the ZTL range, but as I drove, I found those white circles everywhere. I didn't know how to proceed. In the end, I still drove into it. But I didn't see any cameras, and I don't know if I actually entered illegally ? Italy Q&A

How to refuel when driving in Italy? As a general rule, it is best to fill up your tank when you see a sign indicating the next service station. This will ensure that you have enough fuel to reach your destination without having to stop along the way. In Italy, gas stations are typically open from 6:30am to 11:00pm, but some may have slightly different hours. Look for a sign that says "benzina" or "petrol" to find the gas station. When refueling, make sure to pull up to the pump and insert your fuel card or pay with cash at the pump. Some gas stations may also accept credit or debit cards. It's important to note that in Italy, fuel is sold in liters, not gallons. The standard unleaded gasoline in Italy is called "benzina senza piombo" (lead-free gasoline), but some gas stations may also offer premium gasoline called "benzina alta qualità" (high-quality gasoline). Additionally, some areas in Italy may have higher fuel prices than others, so it's a good idea to fill up when you see a good price. In summary, when driving in Italy, it's best to fill up your tank when you see a sign indicating the next service station, make sure to insert your fuel card or pay with cash at the pump, and be aware that fuel is sold in liters and may have different prices in different areas ?

Where is convenient to park in Florence? Florence is a city in Italy known for its rich history, art, and architecture. There are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. However, parking in the city center can be challenging, especially during peak tourist season. One option for parking in the city center is to use a public garage. There are several public garages located throughout the city, and many of them offer 24-hour service. Some popular public garages in Florence include the Piazza della Signoria Garage, the Piazza Santa Croce Garage, and the Piazza del Duomo Garage. Another option for parking in Florence is to use a private garage. Private garages are usually more expensive than public garages, but they may offer more convenience and security. Some private garages in Florence include the Garage dell'Opera, the Garage delle Cascine, and the Garage di Santa Maria Novella. Street parking is also an option in Florence, but it can be difficult to find a spot, especially in the city center. Street parking is usually limited to certain times of day or certain areas of the city, so it's important to check the signs and pay attention to any restrictions. In summary, there are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. While parking in the city center can be challenging, there are several convenient and secure options available ? Italy Q&A

For buses that don't stop or announce the stations, how do you ensure you don't get off at the wrong stop? It seems that in Italy, buses don't announce the stations and only stop when someone needs to get on or off, and you have to press a red button to signal that you want to get off... The method of counting the stations and listening for announcements doesn't work, so do you rely on the driver to call out the stops? But what if you don't speak Italian and the bus is crowded? Looking out for landmarks? You need to have landmarks to look at, and it's hard to see them when it's dark or when the bus is crowded...
