The best place to drive a Porsche 718 Spyder RS is not necessarily the longest or fastest road. It is a route with changing elevation, open corners, beautiful surroundings and enough time to enjoy the journey without turning it into a race. The French Riviera provides a natural setting for an open-top Porsche. From Nice, the elevated roads around Èze and La Turbie offer dramatic views over the Mediterranean before descending towards Monaco. Heading west, Antibes, Cannes and the hills behind the coast provide a more varied alternative to remaining on the busiest seaside roads. Saint-Tropez is particularly attractive outside peak traffic hours, when the journey through the surrounding vineyards and smaller Provençal towns becomes part of the experience. Northern Italy offers several routes suited to the Spyder RS. From Milan, Lake Como can be reached for a weekend based around Cernobbio, Menaggio or one of the surrounding villas. The narrow streets and limited parking of the lakeside villages require careful planning, but the roads through the nearby hills allow the compact proportions of the Porsche to be appreciated. Lake Garda offers more space and a greater variety of routes. The western shore combines tunnels, water views and historic towns, while the roads north of the lake lead towards more dramatic Alpine scenery. During summer, an early departure helps avoid traffic and allows the car to be enjoyed in cooler temperatures. The Dolomites create one of Europe’s most spectacular driving environments. Routes connecting Cortina d’Ampezzo, Arabba, Corvara and the surrounding mountain passes combine sharp bends with extraordinary landscapes. These journeys should only be planned when the passes are officially open and weather conditions are stable. The Spyder RS is not the appropriate choice for snow, icy roads or a luggage-heavy winter holiday. Tuscany provides a more romantic interpretation of the car. Begin in Florence and travel through Chianti towards Siena, Montalcino or the Val d’Orcia. The roads are less dramatic than an Alpine pass, but their flowing rhythm, warm colours and vineyard views suit the naturally aspirated engine beautifully. Continuing towards Forte dei Marmi creates a journey that combines historic towns, countryside hotels and the coast. In Switzerland, the Spyder RS can be enjoyed on carefully planned summer routes around Lake Lucerne, Andermatt and selected Alpine passes. From Geneva, the roads surrounding Lake Geneva, Montreux and the Lavaux vineyards offer scenic alternatives that do not require extreme speeds. Local regulations are strictly enforced, so the pleasure comes from precision, scenery and the sound of the engine rather than outright performance. From Munich, the Bavarian lakes and Alpine foothills provide an excellent weekend itinerary. Tegernsee, Kochelsee and the roads towards the Austrian border combine elegant resorts with varied countryside. In Austria, areas around Salzburg, Innsbruck and the Tyrolean valleys can be rewarding during the warmer months, subject to local driving regulations and seasonal conditions. For a warmer escape, rent a Porsche 718 Spyder RS in Marbella and explore the roads towards Ronda and the Andalusian countryside. The transition from the Mediterranean coast to the mountain landscape creates exactly the type of varied journey for which this roadster was designed. Mallorca’s Tramuntana region is another compelling possibility outside the busiest holiday periods, provided delivery and vehicle availability can be confirmed. The Spyder RS is best reserved for clear weather, two people and light luggage. Plan secure parking, avoid difficult urban access zones and check the route before entering historic centres or restricted-traffic areas. Its low ground clearance also makes underground garages and hotel ramps worth checking in advance. Availability of this specialist model may be limited in some European destinations.
