Travel Tips about Italy

Italy offers incredible experiences year-round. Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) are ideal for mild temperatures and fewer crowds, especially for visiting art cities and coastal areas.

Popular luxury destinations include the Amalfi Coast, the Dolomites, Tuscany, Lake Como, and the islands of Capri and Sardinia, known for their beauty and exclusive experiences. .

Italy has an excellent train network, especially for city-to-city connections. For exploring the countryside and coasts, renting a car provides more freedom and flexibility.

EU citizens can enter freely. Visitors from other countries, such as the United States, require a valid passport and, starting from certain dates, an ETIAS authorization for short stays.

Tipping is not obligatory but always appreciated. In restaurants, a 10% tip is welcomed if the service was exceptional, while in hotels, tipping staff like porters and housekeeping is thoughtful.

For a luxury Italian vacation, choose accommodations that highlight local tradition, such as boutique hotels or private villas, offering exclusive experiences like private tastings and personalized guided tours.

Italians value elegant, understated style. For luxury dinners or special events, refined attire is suggested: men can opt for a sophisticated suit, and women for a classic dress.

Don’t miss wine tastings in Tuscany, truffles in Piedmont, buffalo mozzarella in Campania, and exclusive dining experiences with local chefs offering regional dishes.

Many luxury beaches in Italy, like those in Sardinia and on the Amalfi Coast, have premium beach clubs. We recommend booking in advance, especially in high season, to reserve loungers and umbrellas

In religious buildings, respectful attire is required, avoiding shorts and bare shoulders. Photographs and respectful behavior are essential in museums and historical sites to preserve the atmosphere and history of these unique places
