Italy

Language

  • The official language in Italy is Italian. Knowing a few basic phrases can enhance your experience and help you connect with locals.

Time Zone

  • Italy is 8 hours ahead of Salt Lake City Mountain Time (CET, UTC+1). During Daylight Saving Time (from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October), it is UTC+2.

Electricity

  • The power plug sockets used in Italy are Type C and Type F. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz. Consider bringing a power adapter for your devices.

Climate

  • Italy experiences a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Winters can be cool and humid in the north and mountainous regions. Be sure to check the weather for your travel dates and pack accordingly.

Health

  • While medical insurance is recommended when traveling to Italy, it is not mandatory. Ensure your health insurance covers international travel or consider purchasing travel insurance. https://www.travelexinsurance.com/homepage?location=44-0110&go=bp

Tips

  • Although tourism workers receive a fixed salary, tips can supplement their income. It is courteous to tip for exceptional service, but it is not obligatory. For restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving a small amount is appreciated.

Currency

  • The legal currency in Italy is the Euro (€). As of the latest exchange rate, 1 US dollar is approximately equal to 0.939 Euros. It's a good idea to check the current exchange rates before traveling.

Transportation

  • Italy has an extensive public transportation system, including trains, buses, and metros. Consider purchasing a rail pass if you plan to travel between cities frequently.

Dining Etiquette

  • Italians typically dine late, with dinner often starting around 8 PM. It's common to linger over meals, so don't rush. Also, keep in mind that many restaurants charge a "coperto" (cover charge) for setting the table.

Safety

  • Italy is generally safe for tourists, but it's wise to be cautious in crowded areas and tourist hotspots to avoid pickpockets. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings.

Local Customs

  • Italians are known for their warm hospitality. Greeting people with a friendly "Buongiorno" (Good morning) or "Buonasera" (Good evening) can go a long way in making a positive impression.

Cultural Sites

  • Many cultural sites in Italy offer discounted or free entry on certain days or times. Research ahead to plan your visits and take advantage of these opportunities.

Italy

Do I need a converter to charge devices such as cell phones, laptops, and other electrical appliances?

Yes, you’ll need a plug adapter—and possibly a voltage converter—to use your devices in Italy. It’s best to buy the correct adapter before you travel, as they can be harder to find and more expensive once you arrive.

I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to tip in Italy—is that true?

Tipping isn’t expected in Italy, so you won’t offend anyone by skipping it. That said, leaving a small tip for excellent service is appreciated. If you do tip, give it directly to the person who served you. You may also notice a small cover charge on your bill called “coperto,” usually around €1.50–€2.00 per person, which is standard and covers service items like bread.

Can I use my ATM and credit cards in Italy?

Yes, cards are widely accepted, but you should notify your bank before traveling to avoid any issues with security blocks. It’s also common for cashiers to ask for ID when you pay by card, so keep your passport or driver’s license handy.

What should I bring that’s essential?

Bring any prescription medications you need, along with adapters for your electronics. Note that Italy uses a different voltage system than North America, so check if your devices are compatible. Skip packing extra food—you’ll have plenty of great dining options once you arrive.

What if I need over-the-counter medication in Italy?

Pharmacies (“farmacias”) are easy to find throughout Italy and often have convenient hours, with some open 24/7. They can provide over-the-counter medicine, and you can also fill prescriptions there if needed. Travel Insurance is also recommended, you can find that here. 

Are Dietary restrictions accommodated: vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan?

Italy is very accommodating to dietary needs. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are widely available, especially in cities and tourist areas. Just let your server know about any preferences or allergies.

Do hotels offer dry cleaning and laundry services?

Many hotels offer laundry or dry-cleaning services, usually for an additional fee.

Is Italy child-friendly?

Yes, Italy is very welcoming to families. Restaurants are typically accommodating to children, even if there isn’t a specific kids’ menu. You can often request smaller or simpler dishes. Baby supplies are easy to find, though changing facilities may not always be available.

Do you need to speak Italian to travel in Italy?

No, but learning a few basic phrases like “buongiorno” (hello) and “grazie” (thank you) is appreciated and can enhance your experience.

Should you carry cash in Italy?

Yes. While cards are commonly accepted, cash is still useful—especially in smaller towns, cafés, and markets. It’s usually best to withdraw euros from an ATM after you arrive.

What should you know about dining in Italy?

Meals in Italy are meant to be relaxed and enjoyed at a slower pace. You’ll usually need to ask for the check (“il conto”) when you’re ready. Expect small extras like the coperto, and take your time—dining is an important part of the culture.

What are Visa Requirements?

U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourist or business stays in Italy up to 90 days within a 180-day period, but must have a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond their departure date. Starting in 2026, Americans must apply for a €7–€8 ETIAS travel authorization online before traveling. Check VISA Requirements here.

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
