COVID-19 Update – Explore Italy Today

As a tour operator based in Rome, Italy, we strive to provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding our tours and travel-related services.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have imposed travel restrictions, including Italy. While restrictions have been relaxed in most places, Italy has remained one of the most cautious countries in Europe.

As of June 1, 2021, all COVID-19 entrance regulations have been lifted. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and update our policies as necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of our guests.

During your visit to Italy

  1. As of May 1, 2022, the Green Pass is no longer required for accessing businesses and services in Italy. This means that you can now freely access local and national public transportation, bars, restaurants, museums, theaters, cinemas, and other facilities.

  2. Face masks are no longer mandatory on public transportation as of Saturday, Oct. 1. However, it is highly recommended to wear masks at indoor and crowded outdoor events. Specific locations such as galleries and museums may still require masks. Failing to wear a mask where required may result in a fine of up to $450.

  3. Visitors’ temperatures may be checked when entering the venues, and those with a body temperature of 37.5° C or higher may be denied access to the site.
