Can I visit Italy during the festive season?

Dernière modification le 17/12/2020

The rules are changing during the festive season.

Between 21 December and 6 January, all travellers from France will have to quarantine in place (for 14 days) “even if they have a negative test result” says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Exceptions: Under Italian regulations, some travellers are not required to present a test result or to quarantine. But the rules here are also strict. Testing and quarantine requirements are waived in the following circumstances:

For a visit not exceeding 120 hours made for proven work, health or extreme emergency reasons
If transiting Italian territory using private transport for a period of no more than 36 hours
Cross-border workers entering and leaving the country for proven work purposes and the subsequent return to their residence, home or dwelling
Employees of companies and institutions whose head or secondary office is in Italy, who may be going to or arriving from France for a business trip lasting no more than 120 hours

Conclusion: if you want to do some shopping or buy cigarettes in Italy, you will not be exempt from the requirement to present a negative test or to quarantine…
