๐: ๐ฟ๐ค ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ก ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ฎ? A: In 2024, you do not need a visa. Starting in 2025, U.S. passport holders traveling to Europe will need to apply for authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before their visit. ETIAS is not a visa in the traditional sense; it only requires a quick online application, with approval delivered via email. In order to receive authorization, visitors must fill out an online form providing details about their basic biographical information, travel plans, and travel history, as well as other security questions. Most applicants will be granted travel authorization within an hour, but if further checks are required, the process could take up to 96 hours. The application costs โฌ7 ( about $8) and is required for all travelers regardless of their age. Once approved, this authorization is valid for multiple entries over the course of three years, or until the travelerโs passport expires.

A: Umbria has always been one of Italy's most mysterious & off-the-beaten-track regionsโquite unlike its famous neighbor, Tuscany. But Umbrian food is just as good, & the atmosphere will often feel even more authentic given its wide array of cultural stimuli, from its widely known Jazz Festival to the incredible art collections scattered across medieval palaces, castles, & fortresses that are bound to take you back to bygone times. Umbria is known for its picturesque landscapes, historic towns, & delicious cuisine. Tourists can explore charming villages, go wine tasting, or visit cultural sites like Assisi & Perugia. The abbey is situated inside the natural park of the Nera River. For a list of things to do in the natural park, you can view this link: https://www.sanpietroinvalle.com/cosa-fare-in-umbria/

๐: ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ค? A: If you fly directly from the US, the best international airport would be Rome Int'l. At this time, it is too early to purchase tickets. By early January, we will have a good idea of flight prices. We will select 2-3 flight recommendations for this weekend & shuttle services around those arrivals. We will keep track of the flight prices & keep everyone updated on the best rates. The complimentary shuttle loaded with snacks and drinks would take approximately 2 hours to the Abbey. We also encourage everyone to plan their beautiful Italian vacation around our wedding weekend. Please visit the "Travel Guide" page on this website for inspiration!

A: The nearest airport is Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi Airport (PEG), which is approximately a 30-minute drive from the Abbazia San Pietro In Vally Venue. You most likely need a connected flight to fly to Perugia. This would be a great option to fly into if you are already in Europe or Italy! Keep in mind international flights are best out of Rome, Pisa, & Florence Airport.
