What is the route from the Czech Republic to Italy?

There are two main routes from the Czech Republic to northern Italy. From Prague and Bohemia we drive via Munich, Kufstein, Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass to Verona – about 810 km from Prague and around 970 km to Milan. From Brno and Moravia the shorter way runs via Vienna, Graz, Villach and the Tarvisio crossing to Udine and Venice – Mestre is about 740 km from Brno.

The borders with Austria and Italy are inside Schengen. For northern Italy the shipment usually reaches the consignee 2 days after loading; allow an extra day for Rome and the south.

Where we go in Italy – industrial centres

We most often head to these cities and industrial areas with manufacturing and automotive companies:

  • Milan – fashion, engineering
  • Turin – Stellantis (Fiat)
  • Bologna – packaging machinery, Ducati
  • Verona – logistics
  • Venice – port, glass
  • Rome – production
  • Naples – automotive, port
  • Florence – fashion, leather
  • Genoa – port
  • Modena – Ferrari, Lamborghini
  • Brescia – engineering, steel
  • Padua – logistics

What do we transport to Italy?

To Italy we carry engineering products and parts for machine builders in Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, components for the automotive industry in Piedmont and Emilia, glass, packaging, timber and building materials. We also run regularly to the ports of Trieste, Genoa and La Spezia.

Italian companies often take a lunch break and accept goods only at certain hours. We therefore agree the unloading time in advance and the driver has a direct contact at the consignee.

Which tolls and rules apply in Italy?

  • Tolls: Austria charges the distance-based GO-Maut (the Brenner section has a special rate), and Italian motorways (autostrade) are tolled by distance at toll plazas or via an on-board unit.
  • Tyrol: on the Brenner route there is a night driving ban, a sectoral ban for certain goods and, on selected days, truck metering (Blockabfertigung) at Kufstein. We watch these days and switch to the Tarvisio route when metering applies.
  • Driving ban in Italy: vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive during the day on Sundays and public holidays, and in summer also on some Saturdays.
  • Cities: Italian town centres have restricted traffic zones (ZTL) – unloading there needs a permit or a smaller vehicle.

What do we transport from Italy to the Czech Republic?

From Italy to the Czech Republic we carry ceramic tiles from the Sassuolo area, machinery and machine parts, food (pasta, cheese, wine), furniture, textiles and appliances from Veneto. We load in Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Piedmont and central Italy.

How long does transport to Italy take?

Which route does a truck take from the Czech Republic to Italy?
From Bohemia the truck drives via Munich and the Brenner Pass to Verona, from Moravia via Vienna, Villach and the Tarvisio crossing to Udine and Venice. We choose the route by the loading and unloading place.
How many kilometres is it from Prague to Milan?

What is truck metering at Kufstein?
On selected days Tyrol lets trucks onto the A12 near Kufstein only in blocks (Blockabfertigung), causing long queues. We watch these days and route the truck via Tarvisio if needed.
Which tolls apply on the way to Italy?
You pay the Austrian GO-Maut, including the special rate for the Brenner section, and Italian motorway tolls. Everything is included in our quote.
When are trucks banned from driving in Italy?
In Italy vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive during the day on Sundays and public holidays, and in summer also on some Saturdays. On the Brenner route the Austrian night and weekend bans also apply.
Do you carry ceramic tiles from Sassuolo?
Yes, we carry tiles from the Sassuolo and Fiorano area regularly. Because ceramics are heavy we watch the maximum payload and number of pallets.

Yes, we deliver goods for vessels to Italian ports and load containers there. Trieste is closest for Moravia – about 690 km from Brno via Tarvisio.
Can I unload in an Italian city centre?
Italian city centres have restricted traffic zones (ZTL). Unloading there needs a permit or a smaller vehicle – give us the address and we will check the conditions.
How fast does a shipment reach Italy?
For northern Italy the shipment usually arrives 2 days after loading, a day later for Rome and the south. According to our transit time overview we plan 2–3 days.
Do you carry single pallets to Italy?
Yes, single pallets for Italy travel as part loads, mainly towards Milan, Verona, Bologna and Venice. We offer a full truck for larger volumes.
When do Italian companies accept deliveries?
Many Italian companies accept goods only at set hours and take a lunch break, and some plants close in August. We therefore always confirm the unloading time in advance.
Do you deliver to southern Italy and Sicily?
Yes, we also deliver to Rome, Naples, Bari and Sicily (across the strait by ferry from Villa San Giovanni). Allow a longer transit time.
Do you also carry goods from Italy to the Czech Republic?
Yes, we handle imports from Italy regularly – tiles, machinery, food, furniture and textiles. We load anywhere in Italy and deliver across the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
