Fact Sheet

When to Travel

Honestly, Italy is both pretty and popular all year round. Nonetheless, the best time to visit Italy (in terms of the weather and lack of crowds), would be April - June, and September to October.

If you are visiting the Amalfi coast or southern Italy, May and September are the best two months to visit. Here, the weather is generally beautiful and the activities plentiful, without the crowds that July and August bring.

For the Dolomites, the best hiking months are June through September. Peak season is July and August.

Visa

At the time of writing, EU citizens do not need a visa to travel to Italy. All you need is your passport with at least 6-months left before expiry. The same goes for the US and Australian citizens.

However, please note that this may change soon due to new Brexit regulations and COVID-19 rules. Please click here for more up-to-date information.

If you are a citizen of another country, we recommend checking with your local embassy.

Health

Some vaccinations may be required to enter Italy. As such, it is very important to check with your GP before travelling. Your GP will be able to provide you with all up to date travel information and will give you updates if regulation changes.

Travel insurance is mandatory on all our trips. We also recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitisers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements.
