Actually, it's not necessary; you can just get a translation online. Just go to the website of the company from which you are renting the car, and it's completely free.

On the Italian highway, I observed that the speed limit on the primary highway is 130, while the other roads are 110. Almost all cars are driving at 130/140. I kept getting overtaken and was forced to drive fast as well. It's strange that there are very few speed cameras. I only saw a few electronic speed signs in some places, showing the current speed. I don't know if I will be fined for speeding ? 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

How to refuel when driving in Italy? As a general rule, it is best to fill up your tank when you see a sign indicating the next service station. This will ensure that you have enough fuel to reach your destination without having to stop along the way. In Italy, gas stations are typically open from 6:30am to 11:00pm, but some may have slightly different hours. Look for a sign that says "benzina" or "petrol" to find the gas station. When refueling, make sure to pull up to the pump and insert your fuel card or pay with cash at the pump. Some gas stations may also accept credit or debit cards. It's important to note that in Italy, fuel is sold in liters, not gallons. The standard unleaded gasoline in Italy is called "benzina senza piombo" (lead-free gasoline), but some gas stations may also offer premium gasoline called "benzina alta qualità" (high-quality gasoline). Additionally, some areas in Italy may have higher fuel prices than others, so it's a good idea to fill up when you see a good price. In summary, when driving in Italy, it's best to fill up your tank when you see a sign indicating the next service station, make sure to insert your fuel card or pay with cash at the pump, and be aware that fuel is sold in liters and may have different prices in different areas ?

The enthusiasm of the people of Sicily, Italy, is a passionate and unrestrained one. In Rome, the enthusiasm you see is a refined routine. For example, when you go to a restaurant, the waiter will recommend two special dishes for the day. When you ask what they are, he will tell you about the volcano beef and swan roasted fish... The prices are all on the menu. Each dish is about 25 euros, not bad, right? When you're halfway through the meal, they will bring you a glass of ice wine, telling you it's complimentary, and shake hands with you... As for the swan roasted fish, they will enthusiastically ask if you need help opening it. I firmly say no, but they will still help you open it as if they didn't hear me... Let's talk about the bill. When you pay, they will tell you it's 293 euros, plus a 10% service charge, and fish is charged by weight (the fish is at most 1.5 pounds, and the beef is only the size of a fist, definitely not 2 pounds), and the water before the meal is 10 euros. Also, when taking a taxi, make sure to use the meter... And there are a lot of pickpockets there, so be careful of women wearing scarves. Even if you put your bag in front of you, it won't help. They will use the scarf to block your line of sight... They usually work in groups... Even so, Italy is still very, very beautiful. It feels like walking in a historical museum, and shopping is also very enjoyable... Wishing friends a pleasant journey ? Italy Q&A

Hello everyone, could you please tell me if you have rented a GPS when you went to the Dolomites and Amalfi? I find it hard to search for cable car stations, lakes, hiking starting points. Or should I download Google offline maps as soon as possible? I am now waiting for a connecting flight at an airport in Russia, and when I adjust the GPS, I find that many places cannot be searched. I'm also afraid that there will be no signal in the mountains and I can't use Google online maps ? Italy Q&A
