Italy is in the Schengen Area — many passport holders (including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia) can enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
Rules vary by nationality and change over time — always confirm current requirements for your passport before you commit to travel dates.
Euro (€). Cards are widely accepted in cities, but small trattorias, cafés, and market stalls still often prefer cash — keep some on hand.
Tipping isn't expected — many restaurants add a small cover charge (coperto) or service line to the bill instead. Rounding up for great service is a nice gesture, not an obligation.
High-speed rail (Trenitalia and Italo) connects the big cities fast — Rome to Florence is about 90 minutes. Historic centers are walkable, and restricted driving zones (ZTL) make cars a liability in cities; save the rental for Tuscany or the coast.
A few common bases for a first trip to Italy — ask Itchy to build any of these into a full itinerary.
Ask for a day like this, and it's the kind of thing that lands in your itinerary — not just a list of ideas in a chat window.
