Can you use American credit cards in Italy?

Italy is one of the most tourist-friendly countries in Europe. Most restaurants, hotels, and merchants accept Visa or Mastercard so you'll be able to pay with ease any purchase while there! American Express has wide acceptance throughout Italy due to its higher street presence than other credit cards like Discover but make sure not to use it if your trip takes place outside the United States, because those fees can really add up quickly. Taxis typically require payment by both cash or card, contactless methods such Apple Pay since this works almost everywhere now!
