Airports

There are a number of airport options to fly into depending on how far you are willing to drive. You will either need to rent a car to get to the venue, take a train, or we are happy to arrange a transfer that can pick you up. Please note: if you plan to rent a car, an International Driving Permit is recommended, which can be obtained for $20 at<a href="https://www.aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> AAA</a> ahead of your trip. Arcona is the closest airport and is about 40 minutes away, but you would need to connect somewhere else in Europe (more details below). Booking a Ryanair or EasyJet flight from another Europe hub will be most affordable. If you are planning to extend you trip and travel around Italy anyway, Rome or Florence are each around 3 hours away and worth visiting.

This is the closest airport (under an hour from the venue) but there are no direct flights. The recommendation would be to fly into somewhere else in Europe and then take a quick Ryanair or easyJet flight. Direct flights from London&nbsp;Stansted&nbsp;( Ryanair)and from London&nbsp;Gatwick&nbsp;(easyJet)Note: If you fly to London from the US you want to fly into Stansted since there are no flights from Heathrow.
