Entry and health

Health information

"Healthcare in Italy is excellent. EU citizens should carry a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Non-EU travelers need comprehensive travel insurance. Pharmacies (farmacia) are well-stocked and can advise on minor ailments. For emergencies, dial 112. Tap water is safe to drink. No specific vaccinations are required, but routine vaccines should be up to date."

Culture

Local customs

"Italians value politeness: greet with 'Buongiorno' or 'Buonasera'. Dress smartly, especially when visiting churches (cover shoulders and knees). Dining etiquette includes waiting for the host to start, and tipping is not mandatory but appreciated (5-10% for good service). Avoid loud behavior in public. Respect local siesta hours (1-4 PM) when many shops close."
