Here are some tips and recommendations for your travels to Florence. Feel free to ask us any other questions you may have!

Flight

Airports

Florence Airport is the closest airport, located approximately 15 minutes outside of the city center of Florence. Car rental and taxis are available at the airport. Pisa International Airport (PSA) is about an hour drive from Florence. Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is about a 3.5 hour drive, or about a 2.5 hour train ride from Florence.

Train

Firenze Santa Maria Novella

If you’re planning to fly into Rome (or spend some time there before or after the wedding), it is very easy to take a train into Florence. Italo and Trenitalia run trains there throughout the day (make sure to get the express train as it’s a lot quicker!). Visit http://trenitalia.com AND italotreno.it for more details around schedules and pricing.

Hotel

The Westin Excelsior, Florence

3 Piazza Ognissanti
Firenze, Toscana 50123, Italy
 055 27151

We have a discounted block of rooms here. The hotel is located in the same piazza as the church (Piazza Ognissanti) and right next to where the transportation to and from the reception will be. See website link below for details on the rooms.

House Or Rental

Airbnb

Florence has many great airbnb options available throughout the city. Regarding location, if you wanted to get something right near the wedding festivities (Friday evening apertivo, church, and location for bus pickup/drop off), look for something near Piazza Ognissanti. However, much of Florence is in walking distance so you have many neighborhoods to choose from!

Travel Note

Tuscany Shuttle Service

Tuscany Shuttle has come highly recommended for driving services, whether it’s a trip to vineyard in the countryside or transport to and from the airport. Email their owner, Tommaso Ciliberti, at info@tuscanyshuttle.com for more details.
