Your visa requirements can change according to your citizenship (and also according to the length and purpose of your visit). We always recommend that you check out our visa guide for more information. 

The currency (that’ll get you some luscious pasta) in Italy is Euro.  

Italy is magical all year round. So, the best time to visit depends on what you wanna do. Summer in Italy is what dreams are made of. Long sunny days. Spoonfuls of Gelato. Soothing gondola rides – there's nothing better.  

 
Between September and November is harvest season in Italy - perfect for the foodies among us. Winter (December to March) brings cool weather, stunning Christmas markets and of course, skiing in the Alps & Dolomites! And Spring is great if you prefer fewer crowds and blooming landscapes.  
 

Your passport, of course! But some other essentials would be:  

- Comfortable shoes: There’s gonna be a lot of walking around  

- Modest clothing: If you’re planning on visiting religious sites 

- Crossbody bags: To carry all your stuff when you’re licking away that gelato 
- Sun protection: Including sunscreen and a hat (your skin will thank you!)  

And the rest would depend on which season you’re arriving in Italy. Get loose, breathable clothes for summer, and thick jackets and multiple layers for winter.  

There’s a lot to be explored in Italy - breathtaking beaches, luxurious vineyards, and even historical hotspots. Ideally, between 10-20 days are enough to check out the best of Italy. And guess what? That’s exactly how long our trips are.  

Generally, tap water is safe to drink in Italy. But it’s always a good idea to double check with your Trip Manager if you’re doubtful! 

Pretty good. ATMs are usually easily accessible in bigger cities and tourist hotspots. But if you’re planning to get off the beaten path – carrying some cash with you isn’t a bad idea.  

Yup. Most restaurants and shops accept payments by card in Italy. But cash can be handy for smaller purchases in remote areas.
