Passports:

Passports can be renewed online and first time issue passports can be obtained at most post office locations. Double check this online with your local post office. It is important to note that in order to be valid for travel, your passport expiration date must not be within 6 months of your travel dates. For example, if your passport expires in November of 2026, it will not be valid for travel in June. Make sure to double check and be proactive about renewal, as processing times can vary.

Currency: The Euro is relatively comparable to the US dollar. As of now, the exchange rate is 1 euro = $1.14. No currency exchange is needed, although we recommend carrying some cash for cafes and small businesses.

It is best to exchange either at your local bank before departure or at an ATM in Italy. All major US credit cards are accepted at shops, restaurants, hotels etc. In certain places, AMEX may not be accepted.
