Practical information
As with any trip abroad, it is important to consider some details to ensure your vacation is a success.
FAQs
-
What documentation do I need to travel to Sicily?
The necessary documentation to enter Italy varies depending on the country of origin.
Citizens of the European Union and Schengen countries only need a valid passport or, alternatively, a valid national identity card.
On the other hand, non-European Union citizens can travel to Italy with a passport valid for at least three months after the expected departure date from the Schengen area.
Depending on the country of origin, a visa may be required. In this case, the best option is to visit your Embassy and request information on all the necessary steps and documents.
-
Do I need travel insurance to travel to Sicily?
Italy is a country with excellent public healthcare infrastructure. If you are a citizen of the European Union, you have the right to receive the healthcare you need free of cost. Before traveling, we recommend you request your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or the equivalent document certifying your participation in a medical insurance system in a member State. However, it is advisable to travel with international insurance, especially if you are not a citizen of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or a country with a bilateral healthcare agreement with Italy that covers assistance. It is also important that the policy includes assistance in case of theft, to ensure immediate access to cash if needed.
-
Are there any specific health risk when traveling to Sicily?
Italy does not present significant health risks nor require special vaccinations. However, it is always recommended to keep your official vaccination schedule up to date. In summer, the sun is intense, so it is advisable to use a high protection factor, wear a hat, light clothing, and stay hydrated throughout the day.
-
How to pay in Sicily?
The currency used in Italy is the euro, and European Union currency regulations apply. In airports and major stations, you will find banks and exchange agencies to withdraw money. Additionally, exchange offices and ATMs are spread throughout the region. Besides cash, you can use the most popular credit and debit cards, such as Visa or Mastercard, for your purchases. On the other hand, tipping is not obligatory, and there are no established rules in Italy, though it is customary to leave some coins when satisfied with the service.
-
What are the time zones in Sicily?
Central European Time (CET) applies throughout Italy. From the beginning of autumn until the end of winter, standard time is in effect, corresponding to the UTC+1 time zone, one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.
At the start of spring, the clocks are moved forward by one hour (UTC+2) to make the most of the daylight in the evening.
-
What language is spoken in Sicily?
The official language of Sicily is Italian; however, in rural areas, the Sicilian dialect is still spoken. If you don’t speak either, don’t worry—the vast majority of hospitality staff speak the most widely used international languages: French, English, German, and Spanish. Don’t forget to learn a few simple phrases in Italian; besides being a sign of respect, it will be very useful for getting around the island.
-
What should I pack for a trip to Sicily?
Your luggage will largely depend on the type of activities you plan to do. In the winter the temperature is mild, but it goes down at night, so it is important to bring warm clothes. Summer, on the other hand, is very hot, so we advise you to wear comfortable and light clothing. You may need an adapter for your electronic devices. In Italy, type F and L plugs and sockets are used, and the network voltage is 230V at a frequency of 50 Hz.
