GETTING THERE
The wedding will take place in Scopello on the west coast of Sicily. There are three airports you can travel to:​​
Palermo Airport (about 40-minutes drive)
Trapani-Birgi Airport (about 50-minutes drive)
Catania Airport (3+ hours drive)
We advise you to travel to Palermo airport, which is most accessible, and has a range of international flights. Sometimes you might find good deals to Trapani-Birgi instead.
It's also possible to travel to Catania Airport on the east coast and take a road trip west, but the drive is around 3 hours. This could be a good option if you'd like to arrive in Sicily a few days earlier, or leave later.
​
There are also direct flights to Palermo from many major European cities like London, Paris, Rome, and Milan, making it easy to combine your trip with a visit to one of these destinations.
FROM OSLO
Swiss Airlines, Lufthansa and British Airways operate routes to Palermo with a stopover. SAS has a direct flight from Palermo to Oslo on 29th June if you are extending your trip.
FROM LONDON
British Airways operates a direct route from London Heathrow to Palermo.
Shuttle services & car rental
You can pre-order a transfer service or a bus from the airport to Scopello or Castellammare del Golfo at discounted rates on Sicily Rental Car. Here, you can also rent a car for less than you would get at the airport, or through one of the major vendors like Hertz.
