GETTING TO FLORENCE!

When thinking about a wedding abroad we know there are a lot of questions on the best way to get to your destination. Luckily, Florence is a fairly central and easy location to get to! We recommend flying into Florence directly (FLR) or you can fly into Rome (FCO) or Milan (MXP) and take a train to Florence.

The Florence airport (FLR) is smaller and so flights tend to be more expensive to fly directly into, but if trains aren't your thing than FLR is centrally located and easy to get to the city center/duomo once you land!
