Italy guide: travel tips & info
The main travel season is the summer vacation period. However, spring and fall are considered the best times to visit Italy. Then the temperatures are pleasant and the number of visitors is lower.
Prices in Italy can vary widely depending on the region and time of year. Popular tourist spots—especially during summer—tend to be more expensive. Restaurant prices also range significantly based on location. In general, everyday meals like pizza and pasta are often more affordable in Italy than in the U.S. To get the best value, try dining at restaurants located away from major tourist attractions.
In the major cities and conurbations, you can usually get around easily by public transport. Train connections between the cities in Italy are also good. However, if you want to visit more remote places, beaches or rural areas, we recommend renting a car.
