I am reposting this from another board..

Ok so now i am feeling a little panicky. My husband and I are going to Florence first(taking two trains from FCO to florence) then venice then rome.

Everyone on this site has been helpful in how to book the trains between the cities but now i am wondering what to do between the train and our hotels?

How expensive are the taxis? Can we walk?

In Rome we are staying at the Sofitel (near the trevi fountain) How far is this from the train station? Can we walk?

We figured we have to book a car directly to the airport because it will be too stressful to find our way to Termini station and then to the airport by 9am for our departure.

Does anyone know about florence train station? We are staying at the Hotel Gallery Art (near the continental hotel I think and not far from the Uffuzzi)

And in Venice i think our hotel is not too far from Plaza San Marco - it's called Hotel Liassidi i think.

I just don't know why i did not think this through regarding getting from train to hotel...


Lastly, would it be cheaper to take a private car from FCO to florence as opposed to taking a train to termini another train to florence and then potentially a cab to our hotel?

Why are you reposting this? You were getting good answers on your other post. Now you have two posts to monitor!

There is only one Europe board so I'm not sure why you reposted.

sorry. mistake of a newbie.

I thought there was an italy board and a europe board.

Many make that mistake. The country selection is for search purposes, not forum selection.
