What to keep in mind while travelling to Italy?

If you thrive in lively environments, visiting Italy in July can be an excellent choice. The warm weather and vibrant atmosphere make it an ideal time to immerse yourself in the bustling crowds and festive energy of this captivating country. However, if you’re on a tight budget, it’s wise to avoid travelling around August 15th, as Ferragosto, an Italian holiday, tends to result in price surges. Many locals take time off during this period, leading to increased costs for accommodations and other travel expenses.

While exploring Italy, it’s advisable to be prepared for occasional light showers. Carrying an umbrella will ensure you can continue your adventures undeterred by the passing rain. As for your wardrobe, opt for comfortable, loose-fitting, and long dresses that not only provide relief from the summer sun but also respect the dress code when visiting the country’s beautiful churches. Remember, comfortable footwear is a must-have for Italy, given the diverse range of activities you may indulge in, such as beach visits, hiking, or simply enjoying the summer ambience. By choosing the right shoes, you can savour the country’s culinary delights without being distracted by pesky shoe bites.

If you plan to spend time in Venice, it’s worth considering a 2-3 day pass for the Vaporetto, the city’s waterbus system. This pass allows you to conveniently navigate the enchanting canals and explore the various islands that make up this unique and picturesque destination. So hop aboard the Vaporetto and let the charm of Venice unfold before you as you traverse its shimmering waterways.
