Get ready for Brexit

To visit Europe after Brexit there are things you need to do before you travel. These include:

check your UK passport is valid for travel to Europe using the GOV.UK passport checker
get travel insurance that provides health cover in Europe
check you have the right driving documents
check pet travel rules with your vet at least 4 months before you travel

you don’t need a visa to travel to Italy, but your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay
remember your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) but also take out travel insurance, even if you are only going for one night. It could save you a lot of money if you get into difficulties
you must carry ID with you at all times – you’ll need to carry your passport to the match to gain entry to the stadium
if you lose your passport, you’ll need to get an Emergency Travel Document from the British Consulate in Milan

please remember to validate your tickets before travel
the San Siro Stadium can be reached from the centre of Milan by Underground (e.g., from Duomo get the Red Line M1 West – change at Lotto – get the Lilac line M5 getting off at San Siro Stadio)
the journey time is around 30 minutes. A single ticket for the underground costs €2 and is valid for one journey. Tickets can be purchased from machines or newsstands at all underground stops
tram no.16 also runs regularly from Duomo to the stadium. A single ticket for the tram costs €2 and is valid for 90 minutes from the first validation on all above-ground buses and trams

you should arrive at the stadium in good time as entry/security procedures may take some time to complete
large amounts of coins, belts with large buckles and heavy cigarette lighters aren’t allowed in the stadium; check with Manchester City FC if you need more information about the stadium rules, forbidden items and rules on banners/flags
at the end of the game, you’ll be asked to stay in the stadium for a short time to allow the home supporters’ area to be cleared
the Italian government has a zero tolerance policy on hooliganism both inside and outside the stadium

as in any other city beware of pickpockets and bag snatchers at airports, railway stations, around the town centre and when using public transport – only carry what you need and leave spare cash and valuables in hotel safety deposits
if you’re travelling in a car, remember to always lock the vehicle and never leave valuables inside; hire cars and foreign registered vehicles are more of a target for thieves
