Is Italy LGBTQ+ friendly?
Italy still has a long way to legally recognize the LGBTQ+ community, as no formal laws have been passed to protect sexual orientation or gender identity. Urban cities including Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, and coastal towns Capri, and Taormina are the most welcoming. Travellers should not have issues conducting themselves respectfully in public, but may find some smaller communities more reserved and less accepting.
What currency does Italy use?
Italy is a member of the European Union and uses the Euro (EUR) as its official form of currency. On average USD $1 is worth EUR 0.90, but exchange rates are always fluctuating, so check the latest rates before travelling. While credit cards are accepted nearly everywhere, having cash on hand is especially important for smaller islands and towns.
Do I need to tip in Italy?
In general, tipping for meals and services in Italy is not required or expected, though the gesture of modest 5-10% tips are welcome. If dining as a group, a servizio charge may be added, which will provide staff with a tip. Alternatively, you may see a cover charge (coperto) on some bills, however this is not a tip.
