Travel & Stay
Why Italy?
We wanted to travel and see how we were as a new couple, because you know there are many things that we learn from each other when traveling together. Since Eru had never been to Europe before, we went out and booked the cheapest flight and we ended up in Italy. It turned out better than we expected, especially for Eru where he discovered his real passion and calling which is fashion and it inspired him to take that leap.
We would like to share the beauty of taking ourselves to a different world to our family and loved ones (give you an excuse to travel). To explore and experience a different culture full of history that we have only know from school and media. We think Italy is the best place to start. Seeing and feeling it up close opens up your mind to a while new world.
General Travel Suggestion
When flying in, consider giving yourselves a day to adjust to the time zone. We are in Italy! If you have not visited before, we highly recommend budgeting a few days before or after our celebration to have your own adventure.
We suggest flying into Florence (Amerigo Vespucci Airport, FLR) or Rome (Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, FCO).
To get to Siena, we recommend
1. Travel by train: 1.5hr ride from Florence and 4hr from Rome.
2. Travel by rental car: ~1hr drive from Florence and ~3hr from Rome.
While train is our preferred mode of travel while in Italy, we've found car rental pricing very reasonable. If you choose to drive, please note that the city center of Siena is blocked off for pedestrian traffic only. There are rental drop off areas just outside of Siena where you can deposit your car. Please reach out to us for more advice on making this trip.
Accomodations
We ask our guests to stay within the city of Siena. We highly recommend staying within the pedestrian only area of the city where there are many hotels and bnb options available.
We will also provide a shuttle service to transport our guests each day from Siena to our celebration locations.
Shuttle Pick Up
The shuttle will pick up in this location.
Please plan your lodging accordingly. Easiest would be somewhere near the shuttle pick up location, but a better experience would be to stay closer to the Piazza Del Campo (it will just take a bit more effort to go to the shuttle pick up location, but you get to explore the pedestrian area of Siena easily!) There will be taxis running that can easily drop you here and take you back to your lodging at night.
To book a taxi, visit

Download the Freenow app which functions like uber within Italy, it books local taxis for you with fixed rate. Uber also still works in Italy, but it's less common in Siena.
