Warm days near 75F and cooler evenings. Pack light layers, comfortable walking shoes, and a small umbrella just in case.
Money
Cards work almost everywhere. Carry some euros in cash for small cafes, markets, and tips, and tell your bank you are traveling.
Good manners
A simple Buongiorno goes a long way. Cover shoulders and knees inside churches. Meals are slow and social, so enjoy the pace.
Common questions
Do I need a visa for Italy?+
US travelers can stay up to 90 days with no visa. Bring a passport valid at least 6 months past your return date.
Will my phone work there?+
Most US plans have an international option. Check with your carrier or add an eSIM before you fly.
How much should I tip?+
Tipping is modest in Italy. Round up the bill or leave a few euros for great service.

Yes. Tap water is safe across Italy, and public fountains are great for refills.

Cover your shoulders and knees to enter churches and religious sites.
