Travel expenses to the boot: How to organize a budget before indulging in a la dolce vita

You don’t have to be very good at geography to realize that traveling to Italy isn’t particularly expensive.
There is a wide range of low-cost companies that fly to different Italian cities for very different prices, ranging from € 30 to € 120 .
You can also travel by train , but it will be a bit more expensive and, of course, you will have many more hours of travel. The same is true for those who want to go by car : it is a feasible option, but it will require time and a good investment in gasoline.

Settling in an Italian apartment: another expense: How to organize a budget before indulging in a la dolce vita

Accommodation costs are something that you also have to study carefully before packing your bags.
You will have to prepare a budget; But don’t worry, Italy is not an expensive country.
It is clear that an apartment in the center of a large city such as Rome, Bologna or Naples will not cost the same as one on the outskirts of a smaller city, such as Ancona. In a city center, rents range from € 1,400 (Florence) to € 760 (Modena).
To this you can also add the agency expenses (which usually equal 10% of the annual rent), as well as the deposit that is usually two or three months (depending on the owner and their conditions). All of this will be a good initial expense.

The price of life in Italy

If you like the standard of living you have in Spain, we have no doubt that you will also enjoy your life in Italy.
Here are some examples of some prices, so that you can compare them with those of your Spanish city:
Bottle of water: € 0.42
Cappuccino: € 1.3
Cinema ticket: € 8
Pizza in restaurant: 8 – 12 €
Bus ticket: € 1.50
In general, food in supermarkets and restaurants usually have a price very similar to that of Spain. Living in Italy will allow you to maintain a rhythm of life similar or even higher than the one you have in Spain.
