Diesel-fueled vehicles prohibited in prominent tourist destinations across Northern Italy
Hittin' the Road in Northern Italy Just GotMore Costly
Mark your calendars, road trippers! Northern Italy is pulling the plug on diesel vehicles with the Euro-5 standard starting this year. That's right, the joyride's beginning in October itself!
This move, targeting both locals, tourists, and commuters alike, is the regional governments' fancy dance to enhance the area's air quality. So, pack your breathes, folks!
Your Italy Vaca's About to Cost a Pretty Penny
Get ready to shell out some extra Euros, especially if you're heading to popular tourist spots like:
