Train from Venice to Lake Como then to Pistoia?
How long is the train ride from Venice to Lake Como and Como to Pistoia or Montecatini area? I was considering renting a car, but I am not sure it is worth it if we won't be using it much til we arrive in Tuscany. I looked at the drive from Como to Montecatini and it was over 5 hours. Perhaps it would be better to train to Milan and pick up a car there? I'm really wondering if it is worth squeezing in 2 nights in Como after being in rome 4, florence 2, and venice 2. However, there is a part of me that wants to see this region desperately especially since we will not have time for Capri or the Amalfi Coast.
