The official currency of Italy is the Euro (EUR). It is advisable to use the local currency for most transactions, as it is widely accepted.
Credit cards are commonly used in Italy, especially in urban areas, tourist destinations, and at larger establishments. Major credit cards like Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted. However, it's a good idea to carry some cash, especially in smaller towns or rural areas where card acceptance may be limited. Additionally, some smaller shops, cafes, or restaurants might prefer cash transactions.
Before traveling, it's always a good idea to inform your bank about your travel plans to avoid any issues with using your credit card abroad.
