Italy Travel FAQs
What's the best time to visit Italy?
Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) are ideal with mild weather and fewer tourists. Summer (June-August) is peak season with higher prices and crowds, while winter (November-March) offers lower rates and unique cultural experiences.
Do I need a visa to visit Italy?
EU citizens don't need a visa. Many non-EU nationals, including US, UK, and Canadian citizens, can visit for up to 90 days without a visa. Check specific requirements for your nationality.
How do I get around Italy?
Italy has an extensive rail network, with high-speed trains connecting major cities. Regional trains serve smaller towns. In cities, use public transport or walk. Car rental is recommended for exploring rural areas, especially in Tuscany.
What should I book in advance?
Popular museums like the Uffizi and Vatican Museums, high-speed trains during peak season, and renowned restaurants should be booked well in advance. Major attractions like the Colosseum and Last Supper also require advance booking.
