Taking Your Dog to Rome, Milan, and Pompeii in Italy

Our UK pup has longed to visit Italy, and now we're finally here! Italians really love dogs. We've been petted so much in the past few days in Italy that we're almost bald! ✈️ Regarding Transportation: Since Bambi weighs less than 8kg (including the carrier), we only considered airlines that allow dogs in the cabin. Our route was a direct flight from London to Rome, and we found that ITA Airways, an Italian airline, accepts small dogs in the cabin. The booking process involved booking our own tickets first, then calling customer service to book the dog's ticket, and paying directly over the phone. The dog ticket was 90 euros. ✈️ On the day of the flight: The person who has the dog ticket under their name cannot check in online. When we arrived at Heathrow for check-in, the staff checked the AHC and filled out an in-cabin pet form on the spot. It seemed like the staff that day were not very familiar with this service, and they let us pass without even scanning the microchip. ✈️ During the flight: Surprisingly, throughout the entire flight, no flight attendants asked us to put the dog carrier on the floor or not let the dog out of the bag. Even during takeoff and landing, no one bothered us. The flight attendants just exclaimed that Bambi was small before takeoff and then ignored us for the rest of the flight. But this probably depends on the flight crew, and the situation might be different on other flights. Fortunately, the man sitting next to us that day had two Maltese at home, and he was very kind, letting us take Bambi out directly. He didn't mind at all and played with Bambi for a long time. So Bambi's first flight was very smooth, and after arriving at Rome Airport, we went through customs directly. 🇮🇹 Tourist Attractions: The famous historical site in Italy where dogs are allowed is Pompeii. However, Pompeii only allows dogs with a shoulder height of less than 40cm, and all dogs must be held or placed in a bag when entering indoor areas. Dogs do not need to pay an entrance fee to enter. The rest of the tourist attractions, such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Vatican Church, Milan Cathedral, etc., do not allow dogs to enter. If you want to visit these attractions, you can take turns visiting or find a local daycare. #ItalyTravel #TravelingWithDogs #EuropeanTravel #DailyFragmentsPLOG
