FAQ

Travel & Getting Around in Italian: common questions

How do I ask "where is" in Italian?

Say Dov'è…? followed by the place: Dov'è la stazione? For more than one thing, use Dove sono…?, as in Dove sono i bagni?

Do I need to validate my train ticket in Italy?

Paper regional tickets without a set time usually need to be stamped in the small machines on the platform before you board. Digital tickets with a set train usually do not.

What is the difference between destra and diritto?

A destra means "to the right" and sempre diritto means "straight ahead". They sound a little alike, so listen carefully when someone gives you directions.
