We will be in Munich and want to drive to see friends in Lugano, Switzerland. Does anyone know what the roads are like along this route?
4-lane limited access expressway for the most part. There are a few issues like the need to buy Austrian and Swiss vignettes for the car. Just be aware that it is an 11 hour drive each way.
11 hours RT, no each way. Watch speed limits in Switzerland!
Oops, some damn fool clicked the "avoid motorways" button on my viamichelin.
