US issues Level 2 travel warning for those visiting Italy, Belgium

  • Last week, the US State Department upgraded its travel alert for Italy to Level 2, recommending that Americans exercise heightened vigilance due to potential terrorism threats.
  • The advisory was issued despite Italy not having experienced any recent terrorism-related events in 2023, and it did not clarify the specific reasons for raising the alert level from 1 to 2.
  • The warning applies broadly to tourist sites, churches, hotels, shopping centers, government buildings, and sports arenas where attacks remain a concern ahead of the 2025 Vatican Jubilee.
  • Italy expects 35 million tourists in 2025, and recent security actions include arresting a 24-year-old suspect linked to jihadist websites and weapons-related materials.
  • The advisory emphasizes heightened safety concerns and advises travelers to develop emergency plans, remain alert, and register with the State Department’s travel notification service to receive updates and ensure assistance if needed, while still permitting travel.
