Paris to Florence
 

What is the best/cheapest way to get from Paris to Florence? I've looked into trains, which would be great to see the country-side but I think it's too expensive & will take too long. Am I best off taking a flight via Easyjet or Ryanair??? Thanks!

simply compare the travel time and cost of the train (which you have done) to the cost and time of the 2 airlines you mentioned. Then decide.

There is an overnight train which will be the quickest: you can spend a day in Paris, then a day in Firenze. Any flight will take half a day of your time when you add up the time to get to and from the airports and the check-in times.

Geoff - where can I look for tickets & do you know the approximate cost?? Thanks!

You can also take EasyJet from Paris Orly airport to Pisa airport, and then take a bus or train to Florence.

Hi AS,

Train schedules, prices and tickets are at www.voyages-sncf.com and www.trenitalia.com

You can also fly into Venice from Paris Orly on www.myair.com and train to Florence.
