Train from Florence to Venice
 

I am going to be in Florence and also need to know how expensive it is to take the train to Venice and how long it takes to get there.

Hello Jessycat, <BR> <BR>Journey time and cost depends on the type of train you catch. <BR> <BR>Inter-city trains take approx. 3 hours 10 minutes. The fare is:- <BR>36.300 lire 2nd class <BR>50.400 lire 1st class <BR> <BR>Eurostar trains take approx. 2 hours 50 minutes. The fare is:- <BR>49.700 lire 2nd class <BR>50.400 lire 1st class <BR> <BR>These are single fares. <BR> <BR>For timetables see:- <BR> <BR>www.fs-on-line.com <BR> <BR>Hope this helps... <BR>

Thanks Steve - It does help. I appreciate it. Jessycat

I did this a couple of years ago with some girlfriends...we used the intercity but I would recommend the eurostar if you can afford it. Its a lot more comfort (A/C) for a bit more money. Have a great time.

Jessycat, Be warned! As well as buying your ticket, reserve a seat. Friends travelling from Florence to Venice in January didn't and had to spend a lot of the trip sitting on their bags in the corridor the train was so packed.

TAKE the EuroStar (on the 'fs' website, it's abbreviated as ES) --- it's not that much more expensive, however is more comfortable and a tad quicker. Second class on the ES for your Firenze-Venezia trip will be fine, costing about $25 USD. It is a popular route, so would be best to purchase your tickets a few days ahead of time.

Correction! <BR> <BR>Eurostar 1st class fare above should read: <BR> <BR>73.700lire <BR> <BR>Steve <BR> <BR>
