All truth about Travel and Life in Italy06.23.08

A list of useful things that only a native born and raised in Italy would know.

Surprises for travellers about Travel in Italy

  • Not all places allow picture taking. Museums, especially, often retain sole rights to photograph their works. Flash photography is especially frowned upon as being disruptive.
  • Italy may be very tourist-friendly and known for fashion, but it is generally considered rude to walk around town in bikinis, beach attire, short shorts, and skimpy outfits.
  • Don’t expect to easily find a drycleaner in the Tuscan countryside, laundry facilities are hard to find outside large cities.
  • Remember that American and European DVDs and VCRs have different formats, so what works at home will not work in Italy, and vice versa.
  • Returning or exchanging an item, even if it is flawed is uncommon in Italian stores.
