Starting from Rome, the city of thousands of cities, you can go to the north to Florence, Pisa, and Siena, which seem to be still in the Renaissance, the disappearing water city of Venice, the city of fashion and football, Milan, and you can also walk between the mountains and the sea in the Cinque Terre; to the south you can go to the chaotic and sexy Naples, the ancient city of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, and you can also go to the Sicilian Roundabout. Convenient and fast Italian railways, delicious pasta and pizza will accompany you all the way.

Among the many countries in Europe, there are few countries that can be positioned with romance, but Italy can be one of them. Italians are passionate and are born with many romantic genes. It is this romantic feeling from the inside out that has infected tourists from all over the world, making Italy the embodiment of romance in their hearts. Whether it is scenic buildings or local customs, among the many countries in Europe, there are few countries that can be positioned as romantic, but Italy is one of them. Italians are passionate and are born with many romantic genes. It is this romantic feeling from the inside out that has infected tourists from all over the world, making Italy the embodiment of romance in their hearts. Whether it is scenic buildings or local customs, Italy can almost present a flawless romantic scene that makes you intoxicated and unwilling to leave.

Italians are hospitable and casual, but they have a weak sense of time and often miss appointments or be late. Italians like to drink and are very particular. Generally, an aperitif is drunk before a meal, and the wine is ordered according to the dishes during the meal. White wine is drunk when eating fish, red wine is used when eating meat. Beer, water, etc. can also be drunk during the meal. Drink a small amount of liquor after a meal, with ice cubes.

When invited to a friend's house, especially during festivals, you should bring gifts or souvenirs to the host. The packaging of gifts should be meticulous. After receiving the gift, the host will open the gift in front of the guest and say some polite or grateful words. In addition, when visiting an Italian family, don't arrive early, it's better to arrive later.

Italy's historical and cultural heritage is huge. Italy currently has 44 World Heritage Sites and is the country with the largest number of World Heritage Sites in the world. There are an estimated 100,000 monuments of any kind (museums, palaces, buildings, statues, churches, art galleries, villas, fountains, historical buildings and archaeological sites) across Italy.

The difference between the

is one hour earlier than GMT, seven hours later than Beijing time, and six hours later than summer.

Currency conversion into Italian common currency is Euro, 1 Euro =100 cents. If you are already in Italy, we usually choose to go to a local bank to exchange money. The bank's business hours are generally 8:30-13:30 a.m. and 14:30-16:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday. You can exchange money wherever the bank logo says Cambio/ Change/ Wechsel. Since the handling fee for exchanging currency in Italy is relatively expensive, everyone should try to buy euros domestically and remember not to convert RMB into U.S. dollars (because there is a handling fee for converting U.S. dollars into euros in Italy). In terms of credit cards, Visa cards and Master cards are more popular in Italy, while UnionPay cards are slightly inferior. It is recommended that you consult your local bank after arriving, because many banks have introduced euro cards to facilitate travelers traveling to Europe. However, passengers who use these euro cards do not have to pay a handling fee when swiping their cards, which is very cost-effective.

Compared with entry, the exit procedures are relatively simple. The basic exit steps are to arrive at the airport in advance, go through exit registration, check-in procedures, and check in luggage. After completing the formalities, you need to bring your passport and registration card to undergo border inspection here before entering the terminal. It is worth noting that passengers who purchase valuable goods in Italy can apply for value-added tax refunds. As long as the value of the goods you purchase is more than 155 euros, you can provide an invoice.

Transportation Aircraft Italy has a developed transportation system, many airports, and very dense flights connecting major cities. These mainly include Alitalia), Ryanair), EasyJet), Lufthansa), Turkish Airlines), etc. Among them, Ryanair and EasyJet often offer cheap tickets in Europe, such as 1 euro tickets, but the disadvantage is that there are fewer luggage and size restrictions.

Train Italy borders many European countries in the north. You can enter Italy by train with a valid Schengen visa. For example, there are direct trains to and from Milan, Rome, Verona, Bologna, Venice and other cities in Italy, Geneva and Zurich, Switzerland, Munich, Germany, and Vienna. Domestic trains are mainly carried by the Italian national railway company Trenitalia and the private railway company Ntv Italo. Italo mainly provides convenient high-speed rail services, connecting major Italian cities, from Turin, Milan, Bologna to Verona, Venice, Rimini, Ancona, Florence, Rome, Naples, etc. The National Railway Company has many routes and different vehicle types and fare options. Except for high-speed rail, most ordinary trains do not announce stops, so you need to pay attention when riding. In addition, there is no ticket gate at the station, so you need to go to the ticket-issuing machine to check your ticket before getting on the bus. Otherwise, you will be deemed to have not purchased a ticket and will be issued a ticket of one to two hundred yuan.

There are many bus companies in Italy that can take you to almost all towns, so traveling by bus is also the choice of many locals. From the long-distance bus station Autostazione, you can choose a destination, buy a ticket, or check a timetable. Among them, the largest bus companies in Italy include Sena, Euroline, Baltour, etc. The bus also offers an Italy Pass similar to a train. You can take the operating company's bus at will by setting the purchase time period. Young people under the age of 25 are about 175 euros for 15 days.

Urban transportation is very different from taking a taxi in Italy and in China. There are many waiting taxis parked at the airport or train station entrance to take them directly. However, in the city, there are no taxis that can be stopped at your hand. You must call or text message to book a taxi. If you want to depart from the hotel, you can ask hotel staff to help make reservations.

communication In Italy

communication is generally convenient. Because you can use the GSM mobile phones brought in in China, contact is relatively convenient, but surfing the Internet in Italy is a bit difficult. The following are some specific situations: (1) Fixed telephones (public telephones) There are public telephones on most streets in Italy, and the international distance area code is +39 or 0039. In Italian street shops you can buy a phone card and use it to make international calls. It should be noted that Italy's telephone bills are very expensive among European countries, so you must think twice before making a phone call.

(2) Mobile phones (mobile phones) brought into China can be used in Italy, but pay attention to the tariffs. At present, we have two options for using mobile phones in Italy: one is the Italian roaming tariff package opened by China Mobile. You can consult your mobile business hall for specific conditions. The other is a telephone card opened by an Italian communication company called tim. Passengers can purchase a local telephone card when entering the country and open a package at the communication company's business hall to make long-distance calls to the country at a very low price. The two tariffs have their own merits. We might as well prepare two phone cards, one for domestic calls and the other for communication within Italy. This can be said to be the most economical method.

(3) The main reason why Internet access is not so convenient in Italy is that Internet access costs in Italy are very expensive. Whether you bring your own computer or go to an Internet cafe, the cost is at least 2.5 euros/hour. In terms of hotels, unless you stay in a very high-end hotel, the room generally does not have a network cable or computer. If you really need to use the Internet, I suggest you still open a monthly subscription for mobile phone traffic.

Accommodation In Italy, a country with such a complete tourism industry, hotels can be said to be dotted all over the place. From affordable B & Bs to high-end hotels, Italian people full of artistic elements clean up these tourists 'temporary residences, full of the warmth, romance and passionate Italian flavor of home. "Hostels", or hostels, are very popular in Italy. They are affordable and comfortable accommodation for backpackers in recent years. Of course, if you want to spend your vacation comfortably, there are also many very luxurious hotels waiting for you in Italy. In addition, many Italian universities also rent out dormitories to tourists during the holidays, and the rent is very cheap. In short, whether you are staying in a B & B hotel or a star-rated hotel, passionate Italians will do their best to make you feel at home.

Food Italian specialties can be listed one by one according to tradition.

Italian cuisine pays attention to an order of serving. The first dish is an appetizer. You can eat raw beef and cheese slices and special raw ham with cantaloupe. Use carefully smoked ham and cut it into thin slices. It melts immediately in the mouth, making it refreshing and appetizing.

The second course is the main course and cream bisque, which is the moment when the most famous pasta meal comes on stage. There are dozens of shapes of pasta, and each shape has a corresponding cooking technique. Italian macaroni is the most classic for making pasta with meat sauce, butterfly noodles with peas are the most refreshing, and long noodles are good for tomato noodles. Of course, you can also choose the flavors and combinations you want based on your interests.

The third course is fish and meat cuisine. The authentic Italian seafood includes roasted perch, fried crab and seafood chowder soup. The delicious fish is a good taste that you have to taste when you come to Italy. For meat, try Florentine calf stew, grilled platter and Milan fried pork chops. Roman filly steak is also good.

Also, if you want a casual Italian meal, pizza will be your first choice. Margaret Pizza is a classic Neapolitan pizza flavor. It only combines basil leaves, cheese and tomatoes, but it brings out the most simple and pure Italian pancakes.

Shopping Italy is a country where fashion and classics coexist. Here you can find not only the most fashionable fashion designs, but also the most traditional handicrafts. For shopping enthusiasts, Italian outlets can be said to be the most attractive. Not only are they a wide variety, but they are also very affordable at prices. They can find out-of-season international first-and second-tier luxury goods at about 30% discount. In addition, there are many Italian delicacies that can be brought back to the country, such as red wine, various cheeses and bacon, all of which are very Italian specialties.

There are many fashion brand discount stores in Italy, where fashionable travelers can greatly satisfy their shopping desires. Handicraft enthusiasts can focus on Venice's lace products, glass products, etc. In addition, second-hand markets located in large cities such as Florence and Rome are also targets for many tourists.

Italy's shopping areas are mainly divided into cities. Currently, the two popular shopping areas are Milan and Florence, and these two cities are famous for their different products and each has its own merits. The following are the famous products in Italy and major shopping areas and each shopping area.

1. Milan is an international fashion city. The annual Milan International Fashion Week attracts many international fashion people to join in the fun. Tourists will definitely go to Milan when they arrive in Italy, see the design schools here, and see the big-name specialty stores here. Every year here, you can enjoy haute couture ready-to-wear and cosmetics sold in limited quantities by big-name designers. Even if you can't afford them, you can enjoy a sumptuous visual feast.

In Milan, there is a very famous shopping area called "Milan Golden Four Corner". This rectangle consists of four streets, namely Via Montenapoleone, Via Santo André via Via S. Andrea, Via Spika via Viadella Spiga and Borgospesso, while in the middle is the Cathedral Square. This golden four corners can be a place to squander all your money, or it can be a place to realize your famous brand dream. International first-line brands such as Gucci, Prada, Versace, Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, etc. have set up their own bases here, which are not only complete in styles, but also cheap in prices. Every discount season, the place is crowded with people, which is comparable to the New Year temple fair in China.

1) Arcade Emmanuel II This is a beautiful arcade located in Milan's Duomo Square. The Duomo Square itself is a large shopping center, and on the seventh floor there is LaRi-nascente, Italy's largest shopping mall. Most of the shops in the square are beautifully decorated and sell expensive luxury goods. Here, if you don't have enough funds, you can easily do window shopping to let your eyes accept the wash of fashion and luxury. The Emmanuel II Arcade we talk about is a watershed between luxury and people-friendly. In front of the arcade are big-name luxury stores, and behind the arcade is Emmanuel II Avenue, crowded with sub-brands of various major brands, where many young hipsters often shop crazily.

2) Low-priced Outlet The largest outlet in Milan is McArthur Glenoutlet City. Here, big brands sell their products at at least 30% off the original price. Although the styles are limited, it is also very good to take this opportunity to realize their big brand dream.

The small Outlet sales routes distributed in Milan are very different from the former. Most of them are works by new Italian designers at moderate prices but unique.

2. Florence If Milan is a paradise for buying high-end goods, then Florence is a place to buy second-hand goods and small commodities. Florence's shopping area is hidden among the scenic spots. Shopping here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while buying new clothes. It's a double enjoyment. Shopping in Florence is mainly based on the streets, and there are also several shopping malls that specialize in big brands. However, in Florence, shouldn't we really get to know the city by wandering around unknown retro shops with delicious Italian ice cream?

1) Via Pecori This is a deep alley located south of the baptism hall. There are several ready-to-wear shops scattered in the alley, mainly selling a variety of women's clothing. There are also shops selling interesting T-shirts that customers can purchase according to their needs. Because they are in quiet alleys in the middle of the street, the prices of these stores are not high and are very affordable. Shopping here can also avoid matching shirts and truly realize your personal characteristics.

2) San Lorenzo Market This market is an open open-air market that mainly sells handicrafts, leather products and second-hand goods. This market is very popular among Italian hipsters, and many tourists who love retro gadgets come to Taobao. The market is very large, and it is inevitable that there will be duplicate stalls. So if you like anything, remember to keep your eyes on more shops and never make a blind decision to buy it. Compare with a few companies and haggle to ensure that you can buy what you like at the lowest price.

3) Via Calzaiuoli is a pedestrian street connecting the Cathedral of the Lady of Flowers to the Municipal Square and the Ufitz Art Museum. There are many ready-to-wear specialty stores on this street, which display different discount styles every season, and has become a must-visit place for people to visit Florence. Shopping here is quite comfortable, because this pedestrian street has developed into a relatively complete shopping street, with many basic facilities such as restaurants, coffee shops, etc., and you can sneak in and rest when you are tired. Ladies who love beauty, don't worry about your clothes when you come to this street. Just buy them when you see the clothes you like.

4) Via Roma is a pedestrian street like Via Calzaiuoli, but the prices of the goods sold are higher. There will be stores for some first-line brands here, and sometimes there will be some seasonal special offers.

5) Via Porta Rossa is like Wanda Plaza in China. It is a large shopping mall. Each floor of the mall sells different things, from children's clothing to ready-to-wear, from daily necessities to home appliances. The products sold cover all aspects of life and are one of the shopping centers frequented by local people.

3. Compared with the big-name shopping in the previous two cities, Venice's specialty products are more "Italian". Venice, as a "city built by merchants", has many Italian handicrafts for sale. These handicrafts are full of Italian traditional charm, and most of them are very gorgeous, giving people visual temptation.

1) Italian masks Italy's stage performance art is world-renowned, and Italy's handmade masks are also popular. Most handmade masks in Venice have white as the background, painted with colorful patterns with various pigments, and some are decorated with various lace and fake flowers, making them look gorgeous. At the Venice Carnival, people wear masks, making the Carnival seem mysterious. It's easy to buy masks in Venice, and they are available in almost every small shop selling tourist souvenirs. When purchasing, passengers must shop around and carefully check the quality so that they can buy good goods at low prices.

2) Lace products on the Colorful Island The Colorful Island not only has gorgeous buildings, but also lace products with complex craftsmanship. Lace is an ancient Italian handicraft technology, and the weaving method is very complex. Legend has it that in the Middle Ages, Venice was a city occupied by merchants. There are many upper-class businessmen in Venice, and the women in their homes use beautiful goods from all over the world. In order to earn money from these rich ladies and wives, the locals of Venice improved their ancient textile technology and woven gorgeous and complex lace to win their favor. Since then, the lace products of Venice's Colorful Island have become famous.

3) Glass products of the Glass Island Glass Island, formerly known as Morano Muranno, is famous for making beautiful glass products. The glass products on the island include vases, bathtubs and even various mini decorations. They are crystal clear and colorful, making them very popular among tourists from all over the world. The island still retains the tradition of making glass products by hand, which allows each product to have its own unique curve and color, which is very special. When you come to the Glass Island to buy glass products, local people may ask you to participate in the "Morano Day Tour". Such a tour actually means an agent taking you to a designated shop to buy glass products, which is not cost-effective. It's best to be able to move freely and shop around. In addition, bringing glass products home is a big problem when shipping them. Be sure to package the glass products you buy well, otherwise they will easily break.

Italian cities that entertain Italy also have their own characteristics, and cultural entertainment are also diverse and have profound heritage. Rome's civilization and culture, Florence's paintings, Venice's commercial tourism, Milan's industry, commerce and exhibition industry, and Turin's Fiat automobile manufacturing industry all make the world yearn for and admire.

Italian opera-the originator of high art Opera is the most traditional ancient art form in Italy and has influenced many artists from all over the world. When you come to Italy, even if you can't see opera performances by famous artists, you can also watch the performances of new opera actors and feel the feeling of watching performances in an opera hall. Opera houses are densely distributed throughout Italy, including the Roman Opera House in Rome, the Scala Opera House in Milan, etc. There is also the famous Florence Music Festival in Florence, which is a musical event. While appreciating the opera, we can also study the structure of the Italian opera house. In order to reflect the voices of the performers, Italian opera houses are cleverly designed in a round or horseshoe shape. The design of the entire opera house maximizes the singer's original sound. In addition, most opera houses in Italy have their own orchestras, which also perform regularly, and their standards are quite good.

Gorgeous operas and ballets are performed in the Opera House in winter, and many ancient relics will be used as open-air stages to perform corresponding programs in summer. The music season in Rome begins in early November almost every year and lasts until June of the following year. Other cities also have corresponding performance seasons.

Travel tips 1.[Season]: Italy is a winter rain-prone country. There is a lot of rain between October and April every year. Please don't forget to bring an umbrella.

2.[Security]: Italy has a reputation for being many thieves. Of course, it is inevitable that people will mix in places where you visit. However, the thieves usually seen by tourists and who suffer from them are not Italian. Most of them are gypsies, most appear in pairs, and most of them are children and women. Therefore, please pay attention to placing bags, cameras and other items in a safe place such as your chest.

3.[Accommodation]: There seems to be such a rule in Italy: things are more expensive when they are old. Therefore, ancient streets, ancient buildings, and antiques can be seen everywhere in Italy-even hotels are old and old (and of course comfortable to live in), which is what distinguishes Italy from other countries. Five-star modern hotels can be found anywhere in the world, but Italy has a history of thousands of years and hundreds of years, and this is the only one-the rarity is the most precious!

Hotels in Italy generally do not provide toothpaste, toothbrushes, or slippers, and there is generally an emergency alarm cord in the bathroom. Italian breakfast is very simple. People go to the dining bar and ask for regular coffee or CAPUCCINO (milk coffee) plus a croissant. Therefore, the breakfast at the hotel is relatively simple and has little meat.

4.[Drinking water]: There are two types of mineral water in Italy: steamed and non-steamed. Therefore, you should pay attention to the instructions when buying mineral water.[In Italian, sparkling mineral water is called Acqua Minerale Gassata, similar in pronunciation: Agua Milairale Liscia (or NonGassata), similar in pronunciation: Agua Milairale Lairi Xia].

5.[Standing and Sitting]: There are many small bars on the streets of Italy, where people can go for breakfast, drink coffee drinks, buy lottery tickets, etc. But generally, there is a charge for seats there. In other words, the price of food you buy for standing and sitting is two, so everyone must pay attention!

6.[Tipping]: Italy has the habit of paying tips. After eating in an Italian restaurant, a tip of approximately 5-10% of the total price is required. Under normal circumstances, 3,000 - 5,000 lire is almost enough.

7.[Transportation]: Italian cities are all very old, and scenic spots are concentrated in old urban areas. Therefore, the roads are narrow and the traffic volume is very large. Buses and coaches cannot enter the scenic spots, so tourists have to walk a lot. It will be very hard, so it is necessary to wear a pair of comfortable and convenient shoes.

8.[Church Taboo]: Italy is a religious country, and many artistic treasures are born and preserved in churches, so visiting churches is also a compulsory course. Short skirts, shorts or vests are not allowed to enter the church (especially St. Peter's Church in the Vatican). There are special personnel on the square to inspect the costumes of visitors on the only way to enter the church. So if you have plans to go to church that day and the weather is extremely hot, don't forget to bring a long skirt, trousers and a shirt without showing off for a rainy day.

9.[Three Urgent Problems] There are few public toilets in Italy, so how to solve the problem? Everyone must pay attention: after using the meal, whether it is urgent or not, please go to liberate it; if you see McDonald's, please visit it; after shopping at the store, solve it in time.

10.[Emergency Telephone] If there is a loss, theft, etc., report the case to the nearby police station in time. If you lose your passport and other important documents, you should immediately report to the China Embassy in Italy (telephone) and apply for a replacement. If the air ticket is lost, it should be reported to the original selling unit and the local agency and apply for a replacement.
