That's for sure. What are you going to do with this time when everything is closed and there's basically nothing? It's like our Spring Festival period.

It is possible that after accepting an order, the driver cancels and then someone else accepts it, and then cancels again... In the end, someone will accept the order. I called twice and both times it was a seven-seater Mercedes-Benz that accepted the order. I wonder if it is more expensive than taking a taxi. It costs over 30 euros to go from Rome train station to the Borghese Gallery ? Italy Q&A

I took two rental cars, ending in Rome, Florence, and Venice. Then from Venice to Milan. Can all of the ZTLs be bought back online? What is the website? I'm going back to my country tomorrow. I want to take care of these things before I leave, as I've heard that the fines sent back after I leave are quite heavy, hundreds of euros. But do I need to have the time when I rented the car and the license plate number? ? Italy Q&A

Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I have a question to ask: a few days ago, I bought tickets for the Uffizi Gallery on Fliggy, and two days later I received a confirmation email. However, I had booked a slot for 2 PM, but the merchant had booked one for 8 AM. I admit that I clicked on the afternoon option first, but there was a box below the comment box that still had 8 AM in it, so I cannot change or refund the booking. I was wondering if the morning tickets can be used in the afternoon? Because I will still be in Rome on the morning of September 25th ? Italy Q&A

I am in Rome now. In the subway, I met a pickpocket. There were three or four people in a group. They took advantage of getting on the car to separate us three people. Two of them blocked our sight to look at the small bag (all of which were small bags slung in front of us) with their clothes, trying to open the zipper to steal money. My companion, because her hand was always holding the small bag, only opened half of the zipper, which was discovered by her. I felt someone touching my small bag and found that the zipper had been opened when I looked down. The pickpocket also tried to talk to me, distracting my attention. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and there was no loss ? Italy Q&A

I just returned to my country, and overall it was safe and sound. I didn't encounter any thieves, and my car was also in good condition. First of all, the safety education is quite sufficient, and the journey was like fighting monsters, but in reality it wasn't that scary. Italy's famous attractions not only have police, but also armored vehicles and armed soldiers, making it difficult to imagine how thieves and scammers would operate. Secondly, don't be tempted to park on the roadside. I always use paid parking lots, and there are people watching over them in Pisa. In addition, Italy may have an average economic situation, which is reflected not only in prices, but also in the scarcity of black people. Even in the capital Rome, there are slightly more black people, but even they look down on Italy. Finally, let's talk about ztl. Italy's historic districts are relatively small and essentially tourist attractions, so parking outside the ztl will not cause much inconvenience ? Italy Q&A

I have an order to pick up the car in Florence in the morning and then go to Tuscany to play for a day. Because the car agency closes at 6 o'clock, I am worried that I will not be able to return the car on time, so I have arranged to return the car the next morning. But this will have an overnight problem. My landlord in Florence said that most car agencies in the city have cooperative parking lots. I can park the car there that night and go to the agency the next day to handle the procedures. Is that right? Are there any places to park overnight ? Italy Q&A

Benedetti said that it seemed that the measures announced by Italy were just for the people to see, and the most severe epidemic prevention policies of the Ministry of Health were also meaningless. And the countries he had passed by recently all adopted health and epidemic prevention screening systems, but Rome did not encounter health quarantine, let alone the staff not wearing masks, let alone protective clothing. Italian media pointed out that in terms of preventive measures against the spread of the new crown virus, not only Rome, but also many Schengen countries in the EU, the situation was basically the same. Most EU member states' airports did not even have the simplest temperature checks, and local residents hardly saw anyone wearing masks ? Italy Q&A

Self-service payment is not difficult. It's best to watch others operate when they are in front of you. However, it seems that no one will come to deal with it or post a note even if it is overdue. Today we arrived in Florence. We drove to Michelangelo Square to watch the sunset, which was extremely beautiful. There is a large parking lot on Michelangelo Square. The first hour is 1 euro and the second hour and after is 2 euros ? Italy Q&A

If you haven't picked up the car yet, you can cancel it. If you booked with Avis at Rome Fiumicino, hurry up and cancel. They don't have the car model you booked, their service attitude is poor, and they automatically add insurance through 'upgrading the car model' without your consent. When I went to pick up the car on the 10th, I had to wait for at least two hours, at least! They can give you all the annoying things you can think of when renting a car. The most annoying thing is that I booked an Audi A3, but they claimed to upgrade me and gave me a two-door Fiat 500c instead! How can anyone travel with two large suitcases in a two-door car? Before I got the car, they kept saying it's similar to an Audi and definitely enough. After waiting for two hours, I finally got the car. Do I have to return it and wait for another two hours ?

Where is convenient to park in Florence? Florence is a city in Italy known for its rich history, art, and architecture. There are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. However, parking in the city center can be challenging, especially during peak tourist season. One option for parking in the city center is to use a public garage. There are several public garages located throughout the city, and many of them offer 24-hour service. Some popular public garages in Florence include the Piazza della Signoria Garage, the Piazza Santa Croce Garage, and the Piazza del Duomo Garage. Another option for parking in Florence is to use a private garage. Private garages are usually more expensive than public garages, but they may offer more convenience and security. Some private garages in Florence include the Garage dell'Opera, the Garage delle Cascine, and the Garage di Santa Maria Novella. Street parking is also an option in Florence, but it can be difficult to find a spot, especially in the city center. Street parking is usually limited to certain times of day or certain areas of the city, so it's important to check the signs and pay attention to any restrictions. In summary, there are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. While parking in the city center can be challenging, there are several convenient and secure options available ? Italy Q&A

For buses that don't stop or announce the stations, how do you ensure you don't get off at the wrong stop? It seems that in Italy, buses don't announce the stations and only stop when someone needs to get on or off, and you have to press a red button to signal that you want to get off... The method of counting the stations and listening for announcements doesn't work, so do you rely on the driver to call out the stops? But what if you don't speak Italian and the bus is crowded? Looking out for landmarks? You need to have landmarks to look at, and it's hard to see them when it's dark or when the bus is crowded... So the only thing I can think of is to look at the GPS location on the map... Do you have any clever tricks for this ? Italy Q&A
