Italian passport holders enter China visa-free for stays of up to 30 days. This unilateral policy covers tourism, business, family visits, and transit. It is valid through December 31, 2026. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.
The 30-day count starts the day after entry. Leaving for Hong Kong, Macau, or a neighboring country and returning does not reset the clock. For stays longer than 30 days, apply for a standard visa at a Chinese embassy before travel.

Airport buses serve major commercial zones (¥20–30). Taxis use a metered system; the Jiefangbei CBD area costs ¥60–90.DiDi ride-hail is the standard option for most travelers and generally cheaper than street taxis. Chongqing's mountainous terrain means surface travel times vary significantly by destination; the elevated metro is more predictable than road travel during peak hours.
Humid subtropical climate. Chongqing is one of China's "Three Furnaces" for summer heat. Summers are hot and humid (30–38°C, June–September) with frequent rainstorms and thunderstorms that cause delays. The city sits at a river confluence and fog is endemic. Winter and early spring mornings often produce dense fog (2–12°C) that delays or diverts departures.
Overcast skies are the norm for most of the year; Chongqing averages among the fewest sunshine days of any major Chinese city. Autumn (October–November) offers the clearest weather. Pollution combined with fog can produce severe visibility reductions in winter. Pack layers for the dramatic temperature drops that occur with elevation changes in the surrounding mountains.
