Italy Travel: What to Know About Your US Passport

Italy draws millions of visitors every year with its rich history, incredible food, and iconic sights. But before you book your flight, make sure your US passport meets entry requirements. It must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area.

From the Colosseum in Rome to the canals of Venice and the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy offers something for every traveler. Florence is a haven for art lovers, while Naples is the birthplace of pizza and the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. Using trains is one of the easiest ways to travel between cities, and Italy’s high‑speed rail network makes city‑hopping a breeze. You can zip from Rome’s Termini station to Florence’s Santa Maria Novella in as little as an hour and a half, and tickets booked in advance can start around €15.

If your passport is close to expiring or you’ve misplaced it, take action as soon as possible. Processing times can vary, and it’s always better to be safe than scrambling last minute.
