Aviso de Viaje
All major cities have **Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL)** in their historic centres, so it is best to park outside and walk or use public transport. To visit the Motor Valley museums (especially Ferrari) or take factory tours, **booking in advance** is highly recommended. If you want to dine at world-famous restaurants like Modena's Osteria Francescana, you'll need to book many months in advance. The Riviera in July and August can be extremely crowded.
