Getting tourist board information right before and even during your vacation in Italy, can really help you benefit from the most up-to-date details about the region you are visiting. Perhaps there is a festival going in in the Dolomites that is new on the calendar that a tourist board can help you with.

The tourist board for the country of Italy has a great website offering a plethora of information for your plans. If you live in North America they will also send you a free brochure. If you are not in North America, visit the website specified for the UK.

The Dolomites has their own online tourist board that will help you prepare for your trip. Its region also has a great online tourist board: Belle Dolomiti. But perhaps the most helpful site of all these is Visit Dolomites.com. Click here to be directed to their "request for more information" page.

If you have further questions and needs for travel within Italy, it is always good to check with your own government or the host country's embassy. Americans can get into Italy without a Visa and stay for up to three months. For more entry-requirements, check with the government.
