What will the weather be like?

October in Florence is one of the most pleasant times of the year. You can expect crisp, sunny days and cool, refreshing evenings.

Question

What is the currency in Italy?

Answer

The currency in Italy is Euro. Below is some helpful information. 1). Call you bank and credit card companies before your departure letting them know you will be overseas. 2). We recommend withdrawing money from an ATM instead of exchanging USD to EUR at a currency exchange. If you ask your bank about sister banking institutions in particular countries to withdraw money from an ATM, most likely your fees will be less than the currency exchange stores or kiosks.

Do I need a passport to travel to Italy?

Answer

Please make sure your passport is current. If you have less than 120 days on your passport from your departure date, you will need a new passport.

Question

You can highlight all your intolerances, allergies or special diets directly in our RSVP.
