Question

What if I need more time for RSVP?

Question

Do I need a phone plan in Italy?

Answer

Most US-based phone plans offer international options, so we recommend checking with your carrier before you fly. Alternatively, purchasing an affordable e-SIM (e.g. Airalo) is a great way to get easy access to data and Google Maps while traveling through Italy. If you have Visa Infinite credit card (e.g. Chase Saphire), you can get a free travel e-SIM on Gigsky. Download the app to redeem.
