Italy travel advice

Monday, 24 Jul 2006 12:42
Italy entry requirements
British nationals do not need a visa to travel to Italy.

Italy health
Travellers to Italy should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which does not replace travel insurance, but allows you to receive emergency treatment on the same terms as an Italian person. The EHIC can be obtained for free from the Post Office.

Travellers should ensure they are covered by adequate travel insurance.
