✅ Do's: Carry cash & card – many small shops and cafés prefer cash. Validate your train tickets at machines before boarding (unless it’s an electronic ticket with assigned seat). Dress modestly when visiting churches or religious sites. Reserve museum tickets (like the Vatican or Uffizi Gallery) in advance online to avoid long lines. Do wear your backpack on your front in busy areas or metros – pickpocketing is common in big cities (in particular Venice, Rome and Milan). 🚫 Don’ts: Don’t rely on taxis without checking if they're official (white with "TAXI" sign). Don’t expect 24/7 service everywhere – especially in rural or southern areas. Don’t tip excessively – service is usually included. Avoid eating right next to major tourist attractions, as prices are often inflated and the food quality may not match what you’d find in more local spots.
