Additional information:
Electrical Appliances
The electrical current in Italy is AC - the cycle is 50Hz 220 V. A tourist carrying electrical appliances to
Italy should have a transformer, either obtained before leaving your country or bought at an
electrical appliance shop in Italy. Plugs have round prongs, not flat, therefore an European Plug
Adapter (round pin) is needed.
Telephone
The international dialing code for Italy is 39, the area code for Rome is 06. Public telephones are
available throughout Italy. Either local or international calls require the use of a phone card which
may be purchased at any newsstand, tobacco shop or "bar". When calling a cellular phone, drop the
zero of the area code, ex: 397 + phone number of the cellular.
Shopping
Although normally shops are open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3:30/4 p.m. to 7:30/ 8 p.m., in tourist
areas they tend to stay open from 9.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. with possible variations.
Money & money exchange
Italy uses the Euro. At Rome airports, you can find ATMs that operate 24hrs a day and Bureau de
Changes which have late opening, so on arrival you can withdraw Euros or exchange most major
currencies for Euros.
