Getting there and around
Arriving: Florence (FLR) is 20 minutes from the city; Pisa (PSA) is about 1 hour by train or car.
- Florence's historic center is a ZTL limited-traffic zone. Rental cars entering it get fined automatically, so park outside and walk.
- Trains run often from Florence to Pisa, Lucca and Arezzo; buses reach Siena faster than trains.
- In the Chianti countryside you need a car or a driver. Taxis are rare, so pre-book rides back from dinner.
- For a group of 8 or more, a private minivan with driver costs less per head than several taxis.
Booking rooms for your wedding group
- Most guests come in high season (April to June, September to October). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
- Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
- Guests here mostly need a car or a driver. Staying close to the venue, or booking a wedding-night shuttle, saves a lot of late-night stress.
- Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
