What to pack for Italy

When packing for Italy, it’s important you pack appropriately for the weather. In the summer months, the temperatures across Italy – especially southern Italy – can sometimes reach a sweltering 109˚F (43˚C), so it’s important you pack light-weight and comfortable clothing. T-shirts, shorts and dresses are a good idea for casual daytime wear. Evenings may also stay warm late into the night, but light-weight linen clothing is a good option. For women, taking something like a shawl is a great option if temperatures cool down, as they do not take up much room in your handbag/ rucksack. Some restaurants may have clothing requirements such as long trousers, or a smart shirt, so it’s worth packing too. Also make sure you pack a cap/ hat, sunglasses and swimwear.

For footwear, we’d recommend a comfortable pair of trainers, especially if you are doing lots of walking and tours. Other footwear to consider would be flip flops or sandals (especially in the summer months), and smarter shoes for the evening.

As your luxury Italy trip approaches, we will put together all of your final documents in one centralized place. We use an App called Axus, and you will get your own unique log in. Inside the app, you will find your travel itinerary, all transfer times and details, any tickets, emergency numbers and more. It is a great app and can be used without Wifi signal. Other than the App, we recommend you take a hard copy of your Covid vaccination certificate, and any travel insurance documents. We also recommend taking local money (Euros for Italy). Small change is useful for tipping. Of course, you’ll also need your passport and visa if you are required to get one.
