SIXT services in Central Italy
When you’re booking Central Italy car hire you can get handy bookable extras while you’re about it. It’s never a bad idea to get a sat nav when you hire a car to find your way around the large cities, and you can also hire child seats. Our hire periods are very accommodating. If you’re in Rome or Naples on a quick business trip, you can have as short as a one-day rental, all the way to a long-term rental for a holiday. We have economy cars if you’re visiting Italy’s major cities on a budget, roomy executive saloons, minibuses for groups and more.
Best cities to visit in Central Italy
- Rome: Besides being home to some of the world’s iconic landmarks, there’s plenty more to explore. Spend the day exploring Centro Storico and the Spanish Steps, with churches filled with art, wondrous palaces and vibrant squares, or piazzas. Santa Maria Maggiore is one of Rome’s most beautiful churches, and since you’ll have a car, drive to Palatine Hill, the site of the city’s earliest settlement.
- Naples: Most well-known for the ruins of Pompeii and Renaissance churches, Naples harbour was the gateway to the Mediterranean, guarded by Lungomare and Castel Ovo. From these ancient buildings, you can look across to Mount Vesuvius. The Roman Catacombs of San Gennaro are more ornate than those in Rome, and the royal palace, Palazzo Reale, was used by successive Bourbon kings.
- Vasto: On the opposite coast of central Italy, Vasto has wonderful views over the Adriatic, best enjoyed from the Punta Della Penne harbour lighthouse. The old town centre features the Caldoresco Castle and the historic Piazza Rosetti, dating back to the 14th century. You can also visit Museo Civico Archaeologica and the Cattedrale di San Guiseppe.
Winter 2023 in Central Italy
Winter won’t stop you from getting out and about, so you can go drive around and view historic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine and the Pantheon, all in Rome. In Naples, Capodimonte Royal Palace and Museum houses one of Italy’s finest art collections. There’s also Teatro di San Carlo, one of Europe’s most celebrated opera houses. Castel Nuovo’s architecture reflects the eras of the French, Spanish, Austrian and Aragonese kings who lived there.
