Italy continues to be rated at the second level on the four-tier travel advisory scale used by the United States and Canada, falling under “exercise increased caution.” This is similar to other major European destinations like France and the United Kingdom, and primarily reflects concerns about the risk of terrorism in crowded places. On May 23, 2025, the U.S. State Department issued an updated warning that cites the risk of terrorist violence, naming hotels, clubs, restaurants, transportation, shopping centers, parks, and cultural events as locations that could potentially be targeted in attacks with little or no warning. Travelers are encouraged to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings, particularly during large public gatherings and major events.
Travel safety authorities including Smartraveller and the UK government recommend avoiding protests or political gatherings, as these can be unpredictable and occasionally volatile. Crowds in Rome are expected to be especially dense due to the Jubilee, which has also prompted Italian officials to amplify police, law enforcement, and military presence throughout the city for the remainder of 2025. Passports and identification requirements are being more strictly enforced—listeners must keep their original passports on their person at all times, as copies are no longer generally accepted. Losing your passport could create significant complications, as a police report will not allow departure from Italy if your original is missing.
Other key precautions include not leaving valuables in vehicles, especially in high-theft areas like Rome near the Colosseum, Ostia, Milan, and Pisa, and to use hotel safes where possible. Thieves may use distraction tactics or even fake car trouble to target tourists. On public transportation, especially trains to and from airports and metro or bus stations such as Rome’s Termini, exercise caution with belongings. Drink spiking has been reported, so keep drinks in sight and never leave them unattended.
Road conditions in Italy are generally good in urban centers, but be aware that rural areas or mountainous regions can have poorly maintained, winding, and sometimes dangerous roads. Traffic congestion is common, signage may be unclear, and driving habits, especially among motorcycles and scooters, can be unpredictable. Meanwhile, travelers participating in water activities should pay attention to weather warnings and local guidance, as coastal waters, especially in places like the Strait of Messina or Strait of Bonifacio, can be hazardous due to strong currents and unpredictable weather shifts.
Basic entry requirements to Italy include holding a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned date of departure and, for some travelers, a valid visa. As protocols can change quickly, listeners should check the latest advisories on their government travel sites or contact the Italian embassy before departure, and verify airline-specific requirements.
With the increased tourist crowds, enhanced security, and the ongoing risk landscape, listeners should secure comprehensive travel insurance, remain vigilant in public and crowded settings, and keep up to date with the latest advisories throughout their trip.
