FLY

I’m sure you have heard that traveling within Europe is affordable. Well, those rumors are true! If you want to save on time, this is the route to choose. Apps, like Hopper and Skyscanner, can help you find the best rates. Don’t forget to read the fine print for bag restrictions and additional costs. Buon Viaggio!

TRAIN

The most cost effective way to travel around Italy. There are regional trains and inner-city trams to get you to where you want to go. Italy also has high-speed trains that link many of the major cities. Don't miss the views on the way to your next destination!

BUS

A slower, but more cost effective way to travel. For long distances, buses often offer free WiFi, assigned seating, a bathroom, and air conditioning.

RENT A CAR

An amazing road trip awaits! Take a memorable drive and discover the uniqueness of smaller and bigger towns along the way. A few things to note: (1) Go to AAA to get an International Driving Permit; (2) If you can’t drive a stick shift, be sure to request an automatic car; (3) Toll booths and gas prices!

TAXI

Great for short distances! Keep in mind that taxis are not typically waved down. There are designated areas for taxi pick-up and drop off. Like anywhere in the world, taxi drivers can sense a tourist from a mile away, so make sure the meter is running. If it is not, agree on a flat rate before riding.

SCOOTER (Not a Vespa ☹)

Can you say you went to Italy without getting a scooter picture? Absolutely not. A scooter is a great way to get around town. Just make sure you know the traffic rules before riding. Unfortunately, you need a license to rent a Vespa, but most people don’t know the difference between the two anyway!

RIDESHARE

Uber is available, but with limitations. It is only available in a couple major city centers and it is common for only the Uber Black or Uber Van options to be offered. With that in mind, rideshare is an option, but it is likely pricier than other forms of transportation.
