Travel To Italy

Friday, August 27th, 2010

General Guidelines for Travel to Italy and the Italian Lake District

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

General Guidelines for Travel to Italy and the Italian Lake District

MONEY
this is not a good idea to bring a lot of money while in Italy or Europe. While the Italian Lake District is a very safe area, select pocketing is a common problem in all European regions. Do not carry a lot of money at one time, and be sure not easily accessible to select the pocket (wallet in the back pocket is an easy target).

Traveler checks are somewhat outdated today, and many places no longer accept them. Use your credit card, they received at the most and have the best exchange rates. To attract the Euro you can go to the Italian ATM machines, known as BANCOMATS. They accept all major debit cards.

Do not forget to notify your local bank that you are traveling to Italy so that they do not freeze your account by mistake.

INTERNET AND PHONE SERVICE
Communications to countries outside Italy quite easily today.  Cyber cafe in every town, and not too expensive, usually not more than 12 Euros per hour. Many of them also have a phone to make international calls, pay per minute.

Another option is to sign up with Skype, which is very cheap international calls and you only need an Internet connection to use it. (more…)
