Things to remember while travelling to Italy
- Pack Light: The construction of various Italian towns is such that you will be climbing numerous steps while exploring. If you don’t want to lose all your energy carrying your suitcase to the hotel, we would suggest packing fewer clothes to reduce the weight.
- Book your tickets in advance: Italy is a popular tourist destination with travellers visiting from all over the world. Make sure to book your tickets to popular tourist sites in advance to avoid any last-minute hassles or long queues.
- Carry cash and card: Even though most places in Italy accept debit and credit cards, it is always advisable to carry extra cash just in case since many traditional establishments may not have the card service available.
- Dress appropriately: A hub of culture and tradition, some cities are very religious and you must dress appropriately to respect their cultural values.
- Extreme temperatures: Summers are too hot and winters are too cold in Italy. Plan your trip accordingly.
- Learn basic Italian: Not fluent, but basic words and phrases would do you good to get by on your trip!
Arrival guidelines
Italy has poor cellular connections at some places so it's possible that you might get lost even while following the Google Maps. It is advisable to download an offline map to keep track of the route while you go out to explore the Italian cities.
The north and south of the country are entirely different from each other - the north being more industrialised and the south being more cultural. For a more laid-back and relaxed experience, plan a visit to South Italy.
Many Italian cities offer safe and clean drinking water so keep a reusable bottle handy and keep refilling it to save both money and the environment!
Italy was built for car drives, however, you can save plenty of money by travelling in public transport.
Trains are preferable if you are travelling between cities. Make sure to validate your train/bus tickets through the validating machines or you’ll be fined if caught.
