Russian tourist was able to come to Italy with closed borders 
Russian tourist was able to get into Italy with closed borders and told about the situation and restrictions travelers in the country. The girl wrote about this in her personal blog on the Yandex.Zen platform.
The author of the blog noted that it is not easy to come to Italy, since the country does not recognize the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. Nevertheless, according to the girl, this is possible if the tourist was able to obtain a Schengen visa. To enter, you will also need to pass a PCR test, self-isolate for five days, and then re-test for coronavirus.
“In fact, however, most often no one checks whether you observed self-isolation. But, if this fact comes up, there may be problems in the form of a fine. In general, it is better not to play with fire if you plan to come back here, “said the tourist.
The Russian woman noted that without the Green Pass (QR code confirming vaccination with any EU-approved vaccine, the presence of a negative PCR- test or the fact of transferring the disease – approx. “Lenta.ru” ) it is forbidden to visit restaurants, museums or use public transport. The traveler admitted that for the sake of the document she had to be tested for COVID-19 several times.
“You can live without a health certificate if you are a tourist. You can sit in establishments on the street, in supermarkets they do not ask him, on buses around the city too. But alas, you won't see many sights, ”the Russian woman explained.
The traveler estimated the prices in Italy as acceptable. It is possible to rent a room in a Venice hotel for two for 40 euros, a cup of coffee in a tourist place will cost one and a half euros, the average cost of a pizza in a restaurant is 16 euros.
“A good reason to visit Europe now – tourists in times less. You can feel the spirit of the city as much as possible, without haste, without fuss. Therefore, if there is an opportunity, it is definitely worth going, “the Russian woman believes.
