Part 2/6:
Italians take pride in their appearance, and as a visitor, it's essential to blend in. Avoid dressing like you’re on a beach vacation or heading to a nightclub. Instead, opt for comfortable yet sensible shoes, especially if you plan to visit famous churches or cultural sites, which often enforce a dress code. Revealing clothing, shorts, or flip-flops could get you denied entry.
Transportation Etiquette
Hailing a taxi on the street is generally frowned upon in Italy. Instead, find designated taxi stands or ask your hotel to arrange one for you. Besides taxis, you should also prepare for the fact that Italians are notoriously late, especially when it comes to public transport like trains and buses.
