England travel tips — England FAQ

  • For an Italy-focused trip, plan 10–14 days to explore multiple regions. If you only have a week, then I suggest focusing on two specifc destinations, like Rome and Florence or Venice and Bologna, in order to enjoy each place without rushing.

  • Yes! Italy has an excellent train network connecting major cities and regions. You can comfortably explore by train, adding a rental car only if you’re visiting smaller villages, the Dolomites, or countryside areas.

  • Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, especially in hotels and restaurants. Still, I suggest that you carry some euros in cash for cafés, taxis, or small local shops where cards may not be accepted.

“The name of Italy has magic in its very syllables.“

Mary Shelley
