Practical info — Italy

Currency: The euro (€) — Italy has used it since 2002. Cards are accepted almost everywhere these days, but it's still worth carrying some cash for small cafés, markets, and tips.
Language: Italian is the official language nationwide, and you'll get by fine with English in cities and major tourist spots. Regional dialects run deep, and a couple of areas have their own official second language — German in South Tyrol, French in the Aosta Valley — but a handful of Italian pleasantries (buongiorno, grazie, per favore) earn you a warmer welcome everywhere.
Visa: Good news for Swedish and other EU passport holders: Italy is an EU and Schengen member, so you travel in on your passport or national ID card with no visa needed and no stay-length limit, just as you would within Sweden. Rules do shift occasionally, so it's always worth double-checking current entry requirements with the Swedish government or Italian authorities shortly before you travel.
Power: Italy mainly uses Type F and Type L sockets — Type L (three pins in a row) is unique to Italy and still common in older buildings, alongside the round two-pin Type F you'll recognize from home. Swedish plugs are Type F themselves, so they'll often fit directly, but it's worth packing a compact adapter to cover any Type L outlets you run into. · 230V at 50Hz — the same standard as Sweden, so your Swedish chargers and appliances will work fine without a voltage converter. You may still want a plug adapter depending on the socket type you encounter.
Best time: Late spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) are the sweet spot: warm, pleasant days, cooler evenings, thinner crowds, and better hotel rates than the sweltering July–August peak. Go in summer and you should expect serious heat, especially in the south, plus a need to book major sights well in advance.
Safety: Italy is a genuinely safe country to travel in, with violent crime against tourists rare. The real thing to watch for is petty theft — pickpockets work crowded spots like train stations, the metro, and major landmarks, so keep bags zipped and worn in front and stay alert around distraction scams like fake petitions or "friendship bracelets." Ordinary city sense goes a long way here.

Tipping is genuinely optional: the coperto (a small per-person cover charge) and sometimes a servizio (service charge) already appear on restaurant bills and go to the house, not the waiter, so Italians usually just round up or leave a couple of euros for great service. Confirm taxi fares or the meter before you get in, especially from airports, and remember the check won't come unprompted — ask for "il conto, per favore" when you're ready. Small family-run trattorias and shops often prefer cash, so keep some euros on hand.
