## Travel

- Flying in: Florence (FLR) is closest but small. Pisa (PSA) is about an hour away by train. Rome (FCO) has the most nonstop flights from the US, then about 1.5 hours to Florence by high-speed train.
- Where to stay: in or near Florence. Recommended stays and hotel blocks will be shared in January.
- Getting around: central Florence is a camera-enforced restricted traffic zone (ZTL); don't drive into the historic center. Many day trips work by train; a car helps for the countryside.
- Getting to the venue: parking at the villa is limited and transportation details are coming. Taxis: Radio Taxi +39 055 4390 or +39 055 4242, or the itTaxi app. Book the ride back ahead of time.

## Good to know

- Attire: formal, tie recommended. The ceremony is on grass and dinner on gravel.
- Plus-ones: guests can see everyone included on their invitation by looking up their name on Zola.
- Photos: please keep phones away during the ceremony. A photographer will share photos on the website afterwards.
- Passport: US citizens need a passport valid at least three months beyond departure from Europe. Check current entry rules before travel.
- Weather: early September is usually warm and sunny, highs in the low-to-mid 80s °F, evenings in the low 60s °F.
