Travel & Accommodations
Will transportation be provided between the church and the reception?

Yes! Transportation will be arranged for guests between Basilica Sant’Antonino and Grand Hotel Riviera.

‍

Sunbeds and towels are included.

It’s located in the heart of Sorrento’s old town — just a 10-minute drive or 20-minute walk from Grand Hotel Riviera. Taxis are available, or guests may join the organized transportation provided.

The reception will be held at Grand Hotel Riviera, offering stunning views over the Bay of Naples.

‍

Taxis will be arranged from the church to the venue. Details will be provided closer to the date.

How do I get to Sorrento from Canada?

Most guests traveling from Canada will fly into Naples International Airport (NAP), the closest major airport to Sorrento. Most routes include a layover in Rome, London, or Frankfurt, depending on the airline.

‍

Once in Naples, you can reach Sorrento by:

‍

  • Taxi: The most convenient and comfortable option, taking about 1–1.5 hours. Expect to pay around €120–€150 (≈ CAD 175–220) one way for 1–3 passengers.
  • Train: Take the Circumvesuviana train from Napoli Centrale to Sorrento (around €5–€6 / CAD 8–10, about 1 hour).
Do Canadians need a travel document to travel to Italy?

No visa is required for short visits. A valid passport is needed. A new travel authorization (ETIAS) may be introduced in 2026—please check closer to your travel date.

‍

Where should I stay in Sorrento?

We’ve put together a list of recommended hotels on this page, based on their convenient location near the church and Sorrento’s town centre. The list includes a range of options to suit different budgets — from 5-star luxury stays to comfortable 4-star, 3-star hotels and bed & breakfast.

What’s the best time to arrive?

We recommend arriving in Sorrento 1–2 days before the wedding to rest, adjust to the time zone, and enjoy the beautiful coastal views before the festivities begin.

‍

If time allows, consider extending your trip to explore the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Pompeii — all easily accessible from Sorrento.
