Tourism in Italy is rich in attractive attractions and fun activities suitable for family, romantic, recreational and historical trips. Most Italian regions are also famous for their stunning natural scenery that transports travelers to another world. Below are the most prominent bad habits that should be avoided when traveling to Italy.
Use your hands to communicate
If a traveler needs information and does not speak the local language, gestures can be used to communicate with others.
Do keep some cash on hand
Nowadays, almost all stores and restaurants can accept credit cards; It is almost certain that a traveler will find someone who does not accept card payments so it is always best to have some cash on hand.
Wear appropriate clothing
In Italy, travelers must dress appropriately to enter places of worship. So, if a traveler is going to St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, or any other church, it is necessary to dress modestly.
Don't expect a heavy breakfast
Don't expect a hearty and delicious breakfast; An Italian breakfast is sweet and quick, consisting of an espresso, or cappuccino, and a croissant, also known as brioche, or some biscuits.
If a traveler has booked a hotel in a tourist area that includes breakfast, they will likely find a menu with many delicious breakfast options.
Don't expect to eat dinner early
Compared to other European countries, many travelers are not accustomed to eating early in Italy, as they should be aware that restaurants do not open until 7 pm, and dinner is served starting at 7:30 pm. The kitchen is open from 12:30 until 3:30 PM for lunch, if the traveler is accustomed to different hours, it is possible to enjoy appetizers.
