Extra Tips for Travelers in Rome
A few practical things to know to make your stay in Rome stress-free when it comes to healthcare.
Always carry ID
You may be asked for passport or ID at the farmacia, especially for prescription items.
Farmacias are everywhere
Look for the green cross. Most keep regular daytime hours, and every neighbourhood has a rotating farmacia di turno for 24h coverage — check the sign posted on the door.
Heat and sun exposure
Rome summers are intense, with little shade around major sites like the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Hydrate often and pace your sightseeing during peak afternoon heat.
Avoid self-medicating
Antibiotics require a prescription by law in Italy — always consult a doctor before assuming you can just buy something at the farmacia.
Watch your feet
Rome’s historic center is full of uneven cobblestones (sampietrini) — blisters, twisted ankles, and sore feet from long walking days are a common reason travelers contact us.
Food and digestive issues
Rich food, wine, and unfamiliar ingredients can cause stomach upset. Most cases resolve with rest and hydration, but a video consultation can confirm if you need more.
What We Don’t Treat Online
For certain emergencies, you need in-person care immediately. Rome has excellent hospitals — our job is to get you there fast when needed.
⚠️ Go to the pronto soccorso immediately if you have:
- Severe chest pain or shortness of breath
- Major trauma or uncontrolled bleeding
- High fever in small children
- Psychiatric emergencies
- Conditions requiring immediate hospitalization
- Signs of stroke (sudden numbness, confusion, speech difficulty)
