What do I do when my flight lands?
Upon landing and disembarking from your flight, your next steps are to go through immigration followed by heading to the baggage claim area. Keep an eye on the display monitors above the conveyor belts to locate the one assigned to your flight – it will show your flight number. After retrieving your bags, proceed through customs to exit the baggage claim and enter the arrivals hall. Here you will find Jon, Fr. Scott, and Marika to greet you and give you direction.

Accessibility
SacredWay Pilgrimages necessitates the capability to walk a daily distance of 3-4 miles. This estimate includes walks from the bus drop-off points to the various locations, as well as the walking involved at the sites, churches, and museums included in your tour. We strive to have the buses drop you off at the nearest possible locations. If you believe this level of walking might be challenging for you, we advise considering bringing along a companion to assist you.
Italy is characterized by an abundance of historic structures, cobblestone streets, and varied levels of terrain. The design of these ancient buildings often makes them less accessible for wheelchair users,
frequently necessitating the use of stairs.
