Two-stroke vehicle – If you are not a local in Italia this would probably be the name you would call for a vehicle that is a mix of a typical motorbike but sounds like a two stroke lawnmower. It is actually three-wheeled. It has room for one fat person but can fit in two for thin ones, and a flat deck at the back resembling a mini truck. It is commonly used as a mode of transportation in the little towns of Italy. The tourism administration obviously has its aim on the preservation of roads by the use of these mediums. I can only wonder why. The good thing about this kind of transport is that because of its size, they seem to be very comfortable trekking the narrow lanes common in old Italian towns. You can see this kind of vehicle in Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre, Monterosso, Liguria, Riviera di Levante and National Park Cinque Terre. You can recognize them as they are three-wheeled and has color.

Highway System – Run by expressways. It causes heavy traffic along the routes of Venice-Padua, Milan-Como-Varese, Milan-Bologna-Florence-Rome-Naples and Naples-Salerno. Because these are the busiest cities of Italy they mostly carry around thousands of passengers each route. A major highway runs through Mont-Blanc tunnel that connects France and Italy.

Waterway System – The regular automobile-ferry and ferry train runs between Messina and other ports in Sicily. There is also a ship that carries passengers from Palermo to Naples. The regular shipping is served in Sardinia. A Hydrofoil is for the regular passenger service in the areas between Naples, Capris and Ischia, and Calabria and Sicily.

Merchant Vessels – The vessels serve the places of Savona, Genoa and Venice. For the central and southern Italy Naples is the main port. Other chief ports connecting other Italian cities to each other are Livorno, Cagliari and Catania.

Airports – There is only one national air transport in Italy and it is called Alitalia. It is said to be government-owned and maintains a wide domestic and international network of air routes. The two most important airports served by most international air carrier are Malpensa and Fiumicino that is both in Milan and Rome respectively.

Indeed, Italy has many modes of transportation that can take you to its various gorgeous cities. But even if you don’t get yourself a ride, it remains pleasant touring any city of Italy on foot.
