Transportation
Getting around Italy is much easier than other European countries because of its extensive train network. High-speed trains will be more expensive like costing around $45-$75 but can get you to places in no time. In larger cities, you can take a bus or metro but they aren’t suitable if you have planned a lot of sightseeing in a day. For cities like Venice and Florence, walking is the best mode of transportation.
Accommodation
You can stay in hostel dorms for $25-$35 per night while private hostel rooms range from $50-$100 a night. Many hostels offer free bed linens and Wi-fi access throughout the property. For spacious rooms, expect to pay almost $75 per night. Another option is Airbnb where a room typically costs around $25 a night and an entire apartment starts from $44.
Food
Italy is globally famous for its cuisine – pasta, tomato, pizza, gelato, and wine. It is easy to enjoy great food in Italy but eating for less can also be possible if you make some effort. Most restaurants charge $30 per person for a meal that includes wine. Many restaurants even charge a fee to simply sit there. But if you want to save money on your meals and have a kitchen in your hostel, you can consider cooking your own food for between $55-$80 a week.
Activities
Many attractions charge people between $15-$25 for entry. When you book guided tours, they provide discounts if you reserve multiple experiences with them. Also, if you plan to do a lot of sightseeing, getting city cards will give you discounts on top tours and attractions. The cooking classes charge between $100-$350 per person while the wine tours cost between $65-$80.

Car Rentals
If you plan to drive in Italy, make sure to get an International Driving Permit (IDP). It costs $20 and has a 1-year validity after the date of the issue. Car rentals can sometimes cost as low as $35 a day, but this isn’t the most economical way to get around.
Trains
Italian trains are the easiest mode to travel within the country. Fast trains named Eurostar cost $40-$70 per trip. The regional trains are cheaper and slower with trips starting as little as $7. The two main rail systems are Italo and Trenitalia.
Bus
The bus is another cheap mode of transportation with prices starting from $6. This isn’t the fastest way to travel but these buses are pretty comfortable and offer free Wi-fi. A 3-hour trip from Rome to Florence costs as little as $10 while a longer trip from Venice to Naples starts around $35.
Airlines
If you don’t have much time and want to jump from one city to another, a budget flight might be your best bet. You can often find tickets when the fare is $6 per trip. For instance, a flight from Rome to Milan costs as much as $130. If you book in advance, you can get even more discounts.
Ferry
Book a ferry if you wish to visit some of the country’s great islands. Ferries run frequently and there is no need for advance booking. However, it is good to book in advance during the peak season. A 50-minute ferry ride from Naples to Capri begins from $35.
