We have provided options on the TRAVEL page for use during your stay. Florence also has a great bullet train system if you're looking to take a day trip.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal/Formal, but we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose.

Question

Will my phone charger work?

Answer

Make sure to buy a European outlet converter to be able to use your personal electronics!

Question

Do I need to bring cash?

Answer

The most reliable ATMs typically are associated with a bank. Just use your best judgement to pick safe looking ATMS. A lot of places don’t split the check with cards so always carry Euros on you! Some places also don’t take cards at all so having cash is the safest thing. You will want to consider taking out a decent amount of euros at a time because of associated ATM fees but that is something you will need to ask your personal bank about.

Question

What to pack outside of the ceremony?

Answer

Weather in Florence at the end of September is still warm around 60s-70s during the day but will cool down below 60 once the sun goes down. We recommend packing multiple layers to make sure you are ready! You should also leave space in your bag to get souvenirs, Florence has a great leather district!

Question

Will my phone work while I am abroad?

Answer

Most places have wifi but other options include purchasing an Italian SIM card, downloading different messaging apps to include "whats app" or purchasing an inexpensive phone to use during the trip. Also make sure to reach out to your individual phone provider to inquire about international plans.
