Spring is HERE!

LOTS  of Changes Started on April 1st and That’s NO April Fool’s! (And Stay Tuned for More in May!)

⇒ Italy inquiries and bookings are EXPLODING! If you’re planning or thinking about planning to come in the next 4-6 months, NOW is the time to put those dates, plans and reservations in place!

⇒ The currency exchange rate (USD for euros) is VERY favorable! Get your euros now! (Yes, you need some – at least a few hundred dollars to get you through the first few days. And, no don’t wait til you’re at the airport – they offer the worst rates!) Plan ahead and once you’re here you can access your ATM.

The Health Minister, Roberto Speranza has announced that Italy will extend their COVID travel rules until April 30th.

He also stated that further rule changes planned for May 1st – when the mask mandate and green pass system are expected to end altogether – will be “evaluated” throughout April.

♦ Italy High-speed Train Travel TipZ
If you’re coming to Italy, odds are you’ll be taking a train and possibly a high-speed train (e.g., Italotreno or Frecciarossa).

Train travel can be a bit overwhelming for the novice (and sometimes even for experienced travelers) so I thought I would create a little “primer” to help navigate high-speed train travel (because it really is a wonderful way to see Italy)!

♦ Do Italians Really Do It Better?
Well, according to CN Traveller there are definitely a few things they do better! And I would agree! A fun read! And even though it’s a few years old, not much has changed, has it?
