train from Florence to Coppenhagen or Ebeltoft
Hi everybody! So I'm going to Italy and was thinking of visiting a friend who lives in Ebeltoft, Denmark. Can I take the train there? How much would it cost? Is it a good scenery?
Would you guys recommend taking the train or taking a plane?

An epic trip!
There are 101 permutations of route, train, day or sleeper, and potential stopovers.
But here's one:
1) Florence depart 22:12 by City Night Line sleeper arriving Munich 06:30. Book at www.bahn.de/en fares from €59 with couchette, deluxe sleepers also available. Breakfast at the Mongdratzerl restaurant inside Munich Hauptbahnhof. See www.seat61.com/citynightline.htm for photos.
2) Munich to Aarhus from €39 booked at www.bahn.de/en, a train leaves Munich at 09:05, change at Hamburg, Flensburg & Fredericia to reach Aarhus (nearest major station to Ebeltoft, I think) 22:12.
Booking opens 92 days ahead, the fares vary like air fares depending on popularity of that date and how far in advance you book.
Or:
1) Florence (07:50) to Verona (09:20) by morning train from €19 www.trenitalia.com. Brunch in Verona.
2) Verona (11:00) to Hamburg (22:53) with 1 change at Munich from €39 www.bahn.de/en . This takes you via the scenic Brenner Pass route into Austria, see video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucEm3op7uc . Restaurant car available!
3) Stay overnight Hamburg, train to Aarhus from €39 next morning.

You could also travel from Milan to Paris by direct overnight train, then Paris to Amsterdam by direct train, then Amsterdam to Copenhagen by direct overnight train. It's a more roundabout route, but three direct trains and an excuse to see Paris and Amsterdam.
However, seat61 and I are crazy. Any sensible person would fly.
