Keep In Mind
*How to get to Italy?
You’ll be flying into Italy Airport.
We took the bus from the airport to Center Rome (at the train station). It took a good 45-60 minutes to reach our destination. We arrived at our first overnight stay, a small walking distance from the metro station.
*How to get around?
Walking is the best option to explore and discover as many hidden alleys and unique places as possible. Wear good shoes
.
*When is the best time to travel to Italy
the off-season is always the best, but lately, planes have been full !!
*Book your hotel somewhere central.
I am not including the hotel’s price, B&B, etc., because it will change according to the season. But the prices were reasonable.
****If you can buy your tickets online before leaving home. For the Vatican, we order our places without paying( if you show up, then you pay for your tickets)
**** Check the metro’s closing time, which depends on where you are in the city.
From where we were, all the station stairs were closed. Taxi, here we come!!
****For your taste buds, there are lots of pastries, and don’t forget that their “Hot chocolate” is tick—not like at home!!
What To Expect
Language: Italian is the predominant language, and while some may speak English, learning a few basic Italian phrases is advisable to enhance your travel experience.
Currency: The official currency is the Euro (EUR).
Credit Cards & ATMs: You should be able to use your credit card when visiting Italy. However, remember that many people prefer cash for small purchases. ATMs are available in all the cities and towns, and you’ll usually find them near gas stations, shopping centers, and bus and train stations.
Plugs: We use type E power plugs. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.
Safety: Italy is generally safe, but pickpocketing is a concern. To safeguard your belongings, avoid carrying large amounts of cash and closely watch your bags. Consider using a secure Travelon bag.
**The weather is the biggest thing to consider when planning a trip to Italy.
At the end of March/April, the weather will stay between 15-22.
**Getting Around: We cross the beautiful countryside by car, with many high-speed routes. The roads are not all straight. If the map says it will take one hour, sorry, but with the road in zigzag, it will take 2-3 hours.
