As an Italian passport holder, your journey to Zambia is simplified with visa-free entry, allowing for a comfortable stay of up to 30 days, perfect for exploring the majestic Victoria Falls. While no visa fee is required for this visa-free status, keep in mind that Zambia's currency, the Zambian Kwacha, is significantly different from the Euro, so some pre-trip currency exchange is advisable. Direct flights from Rome or Milan are uncommon, so planning for a layover, often in a major European or Middle Eastern hub, is a practical necessity given the distance. You'll find that embracing a few basic Bemba or Nyanja phrases will greatly enhance your interactions, especially outside of the main tourist areas.
