The lay of the land
Italy touches 6 countries by land, and that changes the planning: flying in and out of the same airport is a choice here, not an obligation.

Everything you need for Italy, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.
TRIP FILE DATA
Rome, Florence and Venice would be enough. Italy adds the Amalfi coast, Sicily and the world’s best simple food. Nowhere packs more per kilometre.

Travel notes for Italy
IT / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.
Timing your trip
Summer in Italy lands between June and August, and the prices and the queues come with it. If you can pick, May or September give you the same place with fewer people and less heat.
Paying your way
Cash hasn’t died everywhere at the same speed: there are countries where a street stall won’t take it and others where cards are useless outside hotels. Find out which one you’re landing in before you land, not in the taxi queue.
Documents & cover
Photograph your passport, visa and insurance and put the copies somewhere you can reach without your phone: an email to yourself works. The day the bag goes, the copies are what turn a disaster into an errand.
Getting understood
Learn four words: hello, thank you, please and sorry. They’re not for communicating, they’re for something else: people’s faces change when you try, and that opens more doors than any app.

IT / 3- RomeFCORome has three thousand years of layers and nobody ever bothered to remove the one below: the Pantheon has been in continuous use since the year 126. You’ll walk more than you planned, so group your days by Tiber bank.8 routes · getting there
- MilanMXPMilan is Italy’s economic capital and its least Italian city: until you climb the Duomo terraces or hit the Navigli at sunset. The Last Supper is real, but tickets vanish: book weeks ahead.8 routes · getting there
- VeniceVCE · TSFVenice is built on millions of tree trunks driven into the mud of a lagoon: the timber, starved of oxygen underwater, doesn’t rot but mineralises, and there it still is fifteen hundred years later holding up the stone. It’s some hundred and eighteen islands stitched by four hundred bridges and not a single car. The practical consequence is that here everything, absolutely everything, moves on foot or by water.8 routes · getting there
