Italy and back

[Bazz1]

Hi all, which way is the easiest to travel, is Switzerland as expensive as they say to use the roads. Any suggestions will be most welcome, visiting places such as Venice, Rome, Pisaand Forenza and possibly Lake Como on our return journey. Bazz.

Go through Switzerland. Vignettes costs about

Try here you need two Vignettes one for car and one for Caravan.

You can buy the vignettes by following the link. I like to drive via Belgium and Luxembourg and favourite road is via Tunnel du Grand Saint Bernard to Aoste. Maybe not the best or fastest route but very spectacular and our friends live nearby in Switzerland.

Hi Baz.

We used to go via Belgium/Germany and the various ways from there but we began to find that every lorry driver from all over (and his aunty) went that way, and some of the holdups were monumental. We have concluded that using the French M/ways or if you are not in a hurry the Route Nationals is a lot less agro.

We were in Rome earlier this year stopping at Lake Garda on the way home then into Austria, Germany, Belguim back to Ostend. You have to buy a ticket for Austria if you use m/ways but from Garda you can get to Germany without any tolls.

We went to Lakes Como and Garda last June. Went out through Switzerland - traffic was very heavy and there seemed to be readworks everywhere. Came back through Mont Blanc - much more pleasant, but probably slightly more expensive on the autoroute than going out. Two vignettes cost

I'll vouch for Barcoreal too - one of the best sites I've ever been on.
