Question
Any tips for traveling in Italy?
Answer
Booking & Logistics: - Be sure to switch all websites to English (look for a flag icon or language toggle, sometimes you need to click around to find it). - Download Google Maps (apple maps is not commonly used in Italy and may take you to wrong destination, which we've experienced). - Keep digital and printed copies of passports and tickets. - Book trains and rental cars in advance when possible. Daily Life: - Expect mid-afternoon riposo closures, especially in smaller towns. - Carry some cash. - Many shops are closed or have limited hours on Sundays, especially outside major cities. Transportation: - Validate regional train tickets before boarding. - Book taxis in advance in smaller towns. - Train schedules may change, so it’s helpful to check them the day before travel. - Allow extra travel time, things often take longer than expected. On Foot & Dining: - Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestone streets. - Enjoy long, relaxed meals, service is intentionally unhurried. - In popular cities such as Rome, if you plan to rent a car, it’s best to leave it parked at your accommodation. Consider using the ItTaxi app to get around the city easily.
