Useful words and phone numbers you might need during your vacation in Italy.<\/p>\n
A few words to the word \u201chelp\u201d: Italians told me a couple of times to scream \u201cfuoco\u201d (fire) when you need help. It\u2019s more likely that someone will come and look what\u2019s happening. Fortunately, I can\u2019t confirm this myself.<\/p>\n

Should you need antibiotics from the pharmacy then a doctor has to come and<\/p>\n visit you in the hotel if the hotel has one and if not, you’ll have to visit a “studio medico” \u00a0–\u00a0the<\/p>\n doctors studio. This will cost you around 100 euros and the doctor will write you a prescription.<\/p>\n Don’t be afraid and always ask in advance the prices. The best thing is to bring along the things<\/p>\n you usually need from your own country.<\/p>\nItalian pharmacies<\/h2>\n
