Travel Tips

The best time to visit is late spring through early autumn for pleasant weather. Pack comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, sun protection, and a light jacket for evenings. Respect local customs by greeting with a polite "buongiorno" and dressing modestly when visiting churches. Safety is generally good, but keep an eye on belongings in crowded areas. Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying some cash is advisable for small purchases or rural areas.
