Cinque Terre
From Florence, it’s an easy journey to the breathtaking Cinque Terre, just 3 hours away by train. This stunning stretch of the Italian Riviera is made up of five picturesque villages—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore—each perched dramatically on cliffs overlooking the sparkling Ligurian Sea. The colorful houses, terraced vineyards, and scenic hiking trails make this area a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike. Take time to explore each village, enjoy fresh seafood, or relax on the beaches. The train runs between the villages, making it convenient to see all of Cinque Terre’s beauty in a day.
Venice
Frome Florence take the train to Venice in just 2 hours, you'll find yourself in a city unlike any other, floating on a network of enchanting canals. Venice is a living museum of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, where every alleyway and bridge tells a story of centuries past. Glide through the Grand Canal on a gondola or vaporetto, passing iconic landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and the majestic Palazzo Ducale. Step into St. Mark’s Square to admire the stunning Basilica di San Marco, with its shimmering mosaics, or climb the Campanile for a view of the lagoon.
Assisi
From Umbria - just a one hour train ride from our wedding venue you will find this UNESCO Heritage Site. Crowned by a ruined castle, Assisi spills downhill to its famous Basilica of St. Francis,Assisi, a medieval city built on a hill, is the birthplace of Saint Francis, closely associated with the work of the Franciscan Order. Its medieval art masterpieces, such as the Basilica of San Francesco and paintings by Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini and Giotto, have made Assisi a fundamental reference point for the development of Italian and European art and architecture.
Orvieto
Orvieto is one of the most striking, memorable, and enjoyable hill towns in central Italy. Less than 90 minutes from Rome, Orvieto sits majestically high above the valley floor atop a big chunk of tufo volcanic stone, overlooking cypress-dotted Umbrian plains. A visit here will reward you with a delightful, perfectly preserved, and virtually traffic-free world highlighted by a colorful-inside-and-out cathedral and some of Italy's best wine. PS: You'll need to take a funicular to get to this town - just one hour and a half from our wedding venue by train. I highly recommend a visit here.
Rome
We don't have to describe this one much - but we hope that you take a day or four here to explore everything Rome has to offer. Enter Vatican City to cross off another country in your bucket list within Italy.
Naples
The birthplace of pizza and the gateway to Pompeii, Naples offers an authentic taste of Italy with its vibrant energy and deep-rooted history. Though a bit rugged, this dynamic city is an incredible way to experience Italian culture at its core. Just two and a half hours from Terni by train, Naples makes for a perfect pit stop before exploring further south. Make sure to take a day to visit Pompeii and climb Mt. Vesuvius. Some trails on Vesuvius only take 30 minutes to reach the top of the crater. Naples is also a hotspot for vintage shopping for those who love unique finds.
Sorrento / Amalfi Coast
If you're feeling adventurous - take the 4 hour train to Sorrento from Terni. If you're stopping in Naples a couple of days - the ride is just an hour to in train. Alternatively, head over to Amalfi or Positano for an unbelievable views and the iconic south coastline. To go directly - just take the bus. If you get car sick easily make sure to pack your dramamine as the Italian coastline although incredible - is very winding. The views are unlike anywhere in the world so we highly recommend this area.
Capri
Just a short 23-minute ferry ride from Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast, Capri is an island paradise that blends natural beauty with luxurious charm. Famous for its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and iconic Blue Grotto, Capri offers a serene escape from mainland Italy. Stroll through the chic town of Capri, where you’ll find upscale boutiques, charming cafés, and beautiful gardens. Take the chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro for breathtaking panoramic views, or wander the narrow streets of Anacapri, the quieter side of the island.
