FAQ

Credit cards are widely accepted in Italy, especially in cities, tourist areas, and larger businesses like hotels, restaurants, and shops. Visa and Mastercard are the most commonly accepted, while American Express might be accepted in more upscale establishments. In small towns or family-owned shops, cash might still be preferred, so it’s good to carry some euros.

Tipping in Italy is appreciated but not expected, as service charges are often included in the bill. If service is included (usually noted as servizio incluso), you can leave a small tip of 5–10% for exceptional service. If service isn’t included, leaving 5–10% or rounding up the bill is common.

While you don’t need to know Italian to travel in Italy, knowing a few key phrases can enhance your experience. English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants, but in more rural or non-touristy areas, you may encounter fewer English speakers.

Whether you need a visa to travel to Italy depends on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. Here’s an overview:

  • Visa-Free Countries: Citizens of many countries, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., and most European Union countries, do not need a visa for short visits (under 90 days). Starting in 2025, travelers from visa-exempt countries will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) before entering France.
  • Schengen Area: France is part of the Schengen Area, which allows visa-free travel between most European countries. If you’re from a non-Schengen country, check the visa requirements for Italy specifically.

The best months to visit Italy largely depend on your travel preferences, but spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) are generally considered the ideal times due to pleasant weather and fewer crowds. During August, it is prime season to enjoy the more mountainous destinations like Lake Como or the Dolomites.
