Italy is a very popular destination for the British with around 3.5 million
British tourists visiting Italy every year (Source: Ministry of Tourism). If you wish to drive in Italy you must have
a valid UK driving licence, insurance and vehicle documents. If you are driving a vehicle that does not belong to you
then written permission from the registered owner may also be requested. In the cities of Venice and Florence, you should
observe public notices about conduct. You may be fined if you drop litter. It is also an offence to sit on steps/courtyards
or to eat and drink in the immediate vicinity of the main churches and public buildings in Florence. You should
obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before leaving the UK. The EHIC is not a substitute for medical and travel
insurance, but entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Italian nationals. You will not be covered
for medical repatriation, on-going medical treatment or treatment of a non-urgent nature.
