Cultural Tip
In Italy, a ‘pass per disabili’ (often a green or blue card) gives you reduced fares on trains, buses, and entry to many museums. Staff are accustomed to seeing it, but it’s polite to say ‘per favore’ and to keep the card handy. In some regions the card is called ‘tessera per disabili’, so both terms are understood.
