The Wedding Website of Ellen Carnero and Jared Finkel
We know joining us in Italy is a big ask—but we've gathered everything you need to ensure a smooth trip and a wonderful experience! We hope you enjoy the beauty of Tuscany as much as we do!

Travel Note

Passports

Please check that your passport won’t expire before March 2027 - you need 6 months of validity to travel. Since passports can take up to 3 months to arrive, be sure to update or apply as soon as you can. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in Italy!

Flight

Pick your airline of choice!

We suggest flying into Florence (FLR), Rome (FCO), or Milan (MXP). Florence’s airport is smaller and you need to take a connecting flight, so you might find a more cost effective flight into Rome or Milan—and don't worry, trains from either city get you to Florence in under 2 hours! If you fly directly into Florence, getting to the city center is simple: you can take a tram ($3), a taxi (~$30), an Uber (~$60), or even pick up a rental car. Happy travels, and we can’t wait to see you in Italy!

Train

Taking the Train to Florence

If you plan on taking the train, there are many daily options to Florence from Rome or Milan. Duration of trip varies, but typically 1.5-2 hours. The main train stations are: - Rome: Roma Termini - Milan: Milano Centrale - Florence: Firenze Santa Maria Novella

Travel Note

Taxi in Florence

+39 055 4390 Easily call ahead and make a taxi recommendation or call when you need it. Also, there is an app that you are able to download in the link. More economical and available than uber in Florence.

Travel Note

Where to Stay

We suggest staying in or near Florence’s historic center. The map above highlights the area within walking distance of the Welcome Party and the shuttle to the venue - but feel free to stay wherever you like it is a VERY walkable city and taxis can be easily booked ahead of time! Our welcome party will take place at Obicà Firenze (16 Via dè Tornabuoni, Firenze, Toscana 50123, Italy) which is right in the heart of the Historic City. Please note that buses are not permitted within the historic city limits, so shuttle transportation to the wedding venue will depart from Florence’s main railway station, Santa Maria Novella. Florence offers a wide range of accommodations for all budgets - Some recommendations below!

Travel Note

Airbnb Tips

There are plenty of wonderful Airbnbs in Florence. When we visit, we usually end up going this route and have always been very happy! A few quick tips when booking in Florence: - Check check-in/out times before booking. - Confirm air conditioning, as some places don’t have it. - Check accessibility (stairs, elevator, key handoff). - Always read reviews to see what past guests experienced. - Superhosts and early booking are your friends! Of course, if you’re unsure about a listing or have questions, just reach out - we’re happy to help!
