Rome to Florence
 

We are traveling from Rome to Florence in June. We want to take the train. Any one out there have suggestions.

Make a train reservation? Make sure your know where the station is?

Sorry - not meaning to t-t-p but really not sure what suggestions you are looking for

Took the train from Florence to Rome in September 2006....what would you like to know?

Check trenitalia.com for trains between Roma Termini (TE) and Firenze Santa Maria Novella (SMN). There are hourly departures on the fastest (ES) trains. The trip takes a little more than 1.5 hours.

Try a "search" here. There's tons of great advice. Have a great trip!

just go to the train station the day you want to go and buy a ticket and you'll be there in 2 hours, its easy to travel from florence to rome. good luck!

trains go every couple hours, its really not worth planning out a train ride before a couple days before the ride because if you do, it will be changed. its italy, so you will be punished for planning ahead when it comes to transportation. just go with the flow once you're there. ask people there too, half of florence and rome is a tourist speaking english on any given day (literally).

Annie is so right but if you happen to be an obsessive planner like me the trenitalia website will give you times etc that can be helpful to know ahead (avoids waiting for the train).

We got all of our tickets in advance and then changed them on the very day as we departed. Can do it with a clerk or at an automated kiosk. It is all very easy to do.

Look for the train number and not the destination. Some people wanting to go to Florence see the ES bound for Venice and don't realize that that's your train.
