Paris to Venice - How?
 

Going to Europe coming September. I almost finished planning except that I left one day free during which I must go from Paris to Venice.

I'm considering the following options. The budget will be similar according to my calculation.

1. Night Train on 3-berth sleeper.

2. Day trains staying overnight in Milan

I have two main questions: How is the scenery for the day train? what is the sleeping condition for the night train?

Thank you in advance.

I'm staying 4 nights in Paris and 2 nights in Venice.

Any reason to go night train to save more time?

You can fly Beauvais to Treviso, both secondary airports a bit removed from Paris and Venice respectively on RyanAir, probably for much less than the train.

I love the night trains but spring for a private sleeper car. I would not be comfortable sharing a couchette with 2 strangers. If you can't afford the private cabin, then I'd fly or take day trains as you mentioned.

Thank you for answers.

I forgot to mention that we are actually a group of 4. 2-berth sleepers are $100 more expensive. And I'd rather go by train than fly.

What I really want to know is: Does Artesia day train have good scenery? Is it worth to spend a whole day in that train?
If not, is night train comfortable enough?
At this point, I'm not sure which is best way to go.

Personally, I'd give the $50 more (my 1/2 the extra amount) not to have to sleep with strangers. Sorry don't know about the scenery since I've only gone by night train.
