Taxis are available at airports and in larger towns, but ridesharing apps like Uber don’t operate in this region. We recommend pre-booking transfers or using local taxis.

Question

What time zone is Italy in, and will my phone work there?

Answer

Italy is in Central European Time (CET/CEST in summer). Most international phone plans work here, but check with your provider for roaming charges. Free Wi-Fi is common at hotels and cafes.

Question

Do I need to purchase train tickets in advance?

Answer

For regional trains, you can buy tickets right at the station from a machine or ticket counter. Just remember to validate paper tickets in the little machines before boarding. For high-speed trains (like Florence ↔ Rome), it’s best to book online in advance for the lowest prices and to guarantee a seat. Your online ticket will come with a QR code and doesn’t need validation.

Question

Are the beaches free?

Answer

Some are public, but many along the Tuscan coast are private beach clubs. You pay a small fee for loungers, umbrellas, and access to restrooms and showers - very convenient!

Question

Do restaurants typically serve food all day?

Answer

Not usually. Lunch is typically served from 12:30–2:30pm, and dinner starts around 7:30–9:00pm. Many restaurants close in between for riposo (afternoon break). Shops are also usually closed between 1-4pm.
