We would love for you to join us in Italy for our wedding!
To keep the trip manageable, here are some travel suggestions:
(and for even more details, check out Rick Steves)
For flights from the U.S., your best option is likely to fly into Fiumicino airport (FCO) on the outskirts of Rome. A single roundtrip standard economy seat typically costs ~$500 from NYC airports. Keep an eye out for deals as low as $400, but they are rare! Flying into Naples airport (NAP) is also an option, but is likely more expensive and may require a connection.

*according to google, the best time to book flights for our wedding will be the last week in May (~129 days out)
You can rent a car if you prefer, but Italy has a great rail system...use it!
Fiumicino airport to Rome:
If you are landing in Fiumicino, you first need to get a ride into Rome itself. The Leonardo Express is a 30min ride, ~€18 one-way, and can be booked ahead of time here. There's also a bus option on the website, and Uber is available in Rome, but not in Sorrento.
Highspeed rail from Rome to Naples
Book ahead of time!
Rome to Naples on Trenitalia - if booked at least a month in advance will be €15-20 per person one-way (~1hr 15min ride...at almost 200miles/hour!).
Naples to Sorrento (wedding venue)
Train: The Circumvesuviana travels from Naples to Sorrento (~1hr), tickets can be purchased at kiosks in Naples station for ~€5.
Ferry: You can take a ferry from the Naples docks to Sorrento (45min) for ~€13. You will likely need to get a taxi/uber from the train station to the docks in Naples.
Car: Hiring a car service is an option for ~€100-150
Getting around the Amalfi Coast (Sorrento, Positano, Capri)
Ferry: A 30min or less boat ride will get you from Sorrento to Positano or Capri, ~€16-20 (Book at least a month in advance!)
Local bus: ride the SITA bus on a windy, cliff-edge road to travel between Sorrento and Positano - not for the faint of heart! Tickets can be purchased in local markets, ~€5.
There's no uber in Sorrento, but there are taxis.
