Once confirmed, group hotel booking links will be made available exclusively to registered Tapas participants.
Travel & Transportation
Italy has excellent international connections from across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia. Once the venue is confirmed, we will publish detailed transport guidance, airport recommendations, and driving directions. In the meantime, here is an overview of Italy's key gateways.
⚠️ Full transport details will be added once the venue location is confirmed. The guide below gives an overview of Italy's main international airports. Once we confirm the city and venue, we will provide specific airport recommendations, shuttle options, train routes, and driving directions — all updated here and shared via the WhatsApp group.
Milan Malpensa (MXP) is Italy's busiest hub for long-haul international flights. Excellent connections from the USA, Middle East, Asia, and all of Europe. Milan Linate (LIN) serves short European routes. Best gateway if the venue is in Northern Italy.
Relevance TBCRome Fiumicino (FCO) — Italy's largest airport with the widest selection of international routes. Nonstop from North America, Asia, India, and all major European cities. Best gateway if the venue is in Central Italy or the south.
Relevance TBCFlorence (FLR), Venice (VCE), and Naples (NAP) serve as regional gateways with strong European connections. Often best reached via a Milan or Rome connection. Ideal for attendees already in Europe.
Relevance TBC🚄 Italy's Train Network
Italy's high-speed rail (Trenitalia Frecciarossa, Italo) connects major cities at up to 300km/h. Once the venue city is confirmed, train travel from Rome, Milan, or Florence may be the most convenient and scenic option for many participants — faster and more central than driving. Full route guidance will be published here.

Italy's climate in February varies by region. The guide below covers the Central Italy range — typical for Tuscany, Umbria, and Rome. We will update with venue-specific weather once the location is confirmed.
February in Italy (Central Region) — Daytime highs around 12–15°C (54–59°F), with cool mornings and evenings dropping to 4–7°C (39–45°F). February is Italy's quietest month for tourism — fewer crowds, lower costs, and a quiet, contemplative atmosphere that beautifully complements the inner work of Tapas. Occasional rain is possible; clear days are crisp and golden.
- Pack layered clothing — mornings and evenings are cold, afternoons mild
- A warm jacket or coat is essential for outdoor time
- Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes for Italian streets and courtyards
- A compact umbrella or light rain jacket — February showers are possible
- Modest, comfortable clothing for the program hall — loose and layered
- Northern Italy (Milan, Lake Como area) will be colder — plan accordingly
