It’s advised to rent a compact car when driving around in Messina and the surrounding areas. This is because the roads across the island are quite narrow, so renting a small vehicle will make navigating city streets and finding parking spaces much easier. It will also be less expensive to fill up your car when you’re getting gas. Driving a small car will also help you blend in better with the locals, making you less of a target for any potential traffic stops.

Speed limits in Messina and across the island of Sicily vary depending on the type of road. On highways outside the city, the speed limit is typically 130 km/h (81 mph). On main roads outside the city, you can usually go up to 90 km/h (56 mph), and in the city center, the maximum speed is usually set at 50 km/h (31 mph). Always pay attention to any posted speed signs and adjust your driving accordingly.

Parking in Messina can be a bit tricky if you don’t know what to look for. Street parking is typically available, but you must only park in the places with blue lines and pay at the meter. Places with white lines are for residents only. You can find parking at the Messina port and at the central train station for a reasonable price. Piazza Antonello is a popular place to park as it offers a lot that is both close to the port and only a 10-minute walk from the historic city center. Also, clarify with your accommodation whether you will have access to free parking during your stay.
