How Reach Italy and Moving Around
Italy is well-connected and is easy to get to by air or land. If you arrive with flight the two main airport are in Milan and Rome, but you can flight also to Florence at Vespucci Airport. From there you can take a bus or train to reach other destination. Also can you take taxi, but are expensive. Indeed the railway network has good connections with the main cities in the north, while to the south Rome is only about an hour and a half away. Maybe is the best public transportation to move around.

The currency in Italy is the Euro (€). Large shops, restaurants, and hotels will accept credit and debit cards, but in general they prefer cash.
