Travel Tips for Jesolo
Money
Currency
Foreign tourists should expect to be required to pay in euros at each and every transaction while visiting Italy, Jesolo included, given this has been the currency ever since Italy became part of the European Union. Nationals of countries outside the European Union unfamiliar with this currency must keep in mind notes refer to 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euro bills, whereas coins are represented by 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents (the subunits of the European currency) and by 1 and 2 euro coins.
Money exchange
While Jesolo is not a very large tourist destination, it is well serviced by a dozen or so banks. Most of them are located along Lido di Jesolo, but this is no surprise, given the 15-kilometer long beach of Jesolo is the ultimate tourist hotspot of the resort. Other banks are located in the center of Jesolo proper. They offer, unsurprisingly, the best exchange rates. Alternatives refer to the exchange desks, most of them located at the airports, as well as to the exchange services offered by the hotels in Jesolo.
Communications
Post offices
In Jesolo there are three post offices. On top of the specific services offered by these offices, they are also available for money exchange transactions. Two of them are located in Lido di Jesolo, whereas the third is spotted in the center of Jesolo. Other two neighboring offices are located in Eraclea and in Cavallino.

Telephones
Calling to Jesolo from abroad, at least as far as landline networks are concerned, requires the caller to first dial the country phone code of Italy, which is 0039. Then, the user must enter the province phone code of Venice (given Jesolo is part of the province of Venice), which is 0421. Finally, the phone number proper must be dialed. This one usually consists of 5 or 6 digits.
Connection to the Internet
On top of the fact tourists can have access to the Internet in most of the sleeping venues they can spot in Jesolo, they must also keep in mind the resort has been, for several years now, part of the Guglielmo WiFi network, a reputed Internet service provider in Italy. The project is in continuous growth and expansion, but the bottom line is there are plenty of public venues from where tourists can access the Internet via a wireless network and a device fitted for a connection of this kind.
The beaches of Jesolo all benefit from Internet coverage, which means virtually the entire Lido of Jesolo is one large hotspot in terms of connection to the Internet. Further WiFi spots refer to sundry famed squares of Jesolo, such as Piazza Brescia, Piazza Marconi, Piazza Torino, and Piazza Drago.

Papers
European Union citizens are required to present a valid identification card in order to be allowed to enter Italy, Jesolo included. As far as visitors from outside the European Union are concerned, most of them need a passport in order to enter the Italian territory. People who intend to stay for more than 90 days on the Italian territory are also required to hold a visa. Visas are also compulsory for citizens of sundry countries outside the European Union, regardless of the duration of their stay in Italy.
Customs regulations
Tourists who travel to Jesolo, or to anywhere else in Italy, for that matter, must keep in mind there are certain limits of products they can bring in or out of Italy (these limits are in force virtually throughout the European Union). Thus, just to list a few examples, visitors are not allowed to import or to export more than 200 cigarettes, 1 liter of alcohol, 60 milliliters of perfume. On top of that, the products which exceed these limits must be accompanied by documents ascertaining they are intended for personal use.
