We are getting married on Thursday 31st July 2025.
You are invited to spend 5 days with us in Florence, Italy from Monday 28th July to Saturday 2nd August 2025
Flights
Option 1
Flying direct to Florence (FLR):
You can catch direct flights from major London airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted) to Florence's Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR). It’s the quickest way to get right into the city.
The T2 tram line connects Florence Airport to the Santa Maria Novella train station in the centre of Florence. The tram ride takes about 20 minutes, and the trams run frequently throughout the day.
Option 2
Flying to Pisa (PSA): Another option is to fly into Pisa International Airport (PSA). Pisa is well-connected to London airports and only about an hour's train ride from Florence.
The PisaMover connects Pisa Airport to Pisa Centrale, the main train station in the city center. The journey takes approximately 5-8 minutes, and the shuttle runs every 5-10 minutes from early morning until late at night. Once in Pisa Centrale, you can hop on a train to Florence: there is an average of one train every hour, with a travel time ranging from 50 minutes, to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
There are direct bus services that connect Pisa Airport to Florence, which can be a convenient option if you prefer not to take a train. These take between 70 - 90 minutes.
What are we doing?
We will be going with Option 1.
We are flying with Vueling (owned by BA)
