Britons in Italy have been given a fresh travel warning as flooding may affect their holidays.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) gave holidaymakers essential tips on how to stay safe.
The FCDO advised: “Severe flooding is currently affecting the region of Emilia-Romagna.
“There can be risks around riverbanks, green areas affected by flooding and stagnant water. The rail services between Faenza and Forli and Porto Maggiore and Ravenna are suspended.

“The website of Ferrovie dello Stato has more information. Check with your tour operator or accommodation provider before you travel and follow the instructions of local authorities.
“The website of the Civil Protection Department has further information (in Italian only).”
The FCDO advised that this travel advice also covers Vatican City.
Britons in Hungary were also given some essential information about heavy rain and flooding, which is affecting one popular destination in particular.
Britons were advised: “Heavy rain and flooding is causing disruption, particularly in Budapest.
“Check before you travel (Budapest public transport, Nationwide road closure information, coach services).
“Following disruption to international train services to Vienna, services have resumed, but delays and cancellations are still possible. Check before you travel (Timetables, Hungary state rail customer service).”
For the relevant information, holidaymakers can consult the FCDO’s Warnings and Insurance pages for both Italy and Hungary.

This comes as Britons were given a holiday warning as “severe disruption” broke out in European destinations.

Further afield, Britons were given an Africa travel warning as holidaymakers risk falling victim to terrorism and kidnap.
