The smaller the better for the inner cities. This is Europe: streets are narrow and parking scarce. Big cars are fine anywhere else. Avoid taking the car in the city center (use the public transport and taxis), you'll be better off. - Oct 2018
Small and one you don't mind getting beaten up. Our car has been broken into twice and been in more fender benders than we care to remember. Driving is a risk. there are no rules that are followed. Lights, pedestrian crosswalks, lane indicators - all ignored. If there is a space on the road, someone will fill it regardless of which direction it goes. Chaos doesn't even begin to describe driving here. We have watched people get hit by cars in the pedestrian crossing. People loose their minds when behind the wheel. It is VERY frightening. - Sep 2017
A small car (big ones are too unwieldy and hard to park) that you don't mind getting scratched and banged up. I would NOT bring an SUV or an expensive vehicle. - Jul 2009
