Trip Preparation Tips
Travelling to Italy?
One thing experienced travellers always do before visiting a new country: sort travel insurance. Medical evacuation alone can cost $50,000+ without it.

Cities in Italy
Venice
Unique island city — one of the safest in Italy. Watch for overpriced tourist traps and flooding risk.
Milan
Italy's fashion and finance capital. Pickpocketing is common on the Metro. Strong nightlife and restaurant scene.
Rome
The Eternal City with incredible history. Heavy pickpocketing around the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Vatican. Traffic is chaotic.
Naples
Vibrant southern city near Vesuvius. Higher crime than northern Italy — stay alert in certain areas.
