Скачать или смотреть US issues travel warning for Italy fearing ‘terrorism’ — here’s what American tourists should know

Italy has long been a summer hotspot for globetrotters everywhere — but an updated travel advisory has just been issued for the beloved European vacation destination.

On May 23, the US State Department issued a Level 2 travel warning for Italy, urging travelers to “exercise increased caution” due to terrorism.

“There is risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity in Italy,” the advisory summary reads.

Italy previously had the basic Level 1 advisory that most other European countries share, simply telling travelers to “exercise normal precautions” when visiting.

However, due to the increased threat of terrorist-related violence, the State Department has bumped Italy up to Level 2.

There are four levels for international travel advisories: Level 1 (“exercise normal precautions”), Level 2 (“exercise increased caution”), Level 3 (“reconsider travel”) and Level 4 (“do not travel”).

The advisory warns that terrorists “may attack with little or no warning” and encourages Americans to be wary of common targets, including tourist spots, transportation centers, shopping malls and markets, local government buildings, hotels, clubs, restaurants, religious sites, parks, sports and cultural events, schools, airports and public areas.

For those who decide to travel to Italy, the State Department recommends staying alert in tourist spots, checking local media for any breaking news and enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program  (STEP) to receive messages and alerts from the U.S. Embassy.

It’s also been recommended to be prepared to alter plans while abroad and set up a contingency plan for any potential emergency situations.

France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom also currently have Level 2 advisories from the State Department.
