Is it practical to take the train for one day of sightseeing in Florence.

I hear it's 3 hours each way, so it wouldn't seem so to me.<BR><BR>Just my thought on it. Maybe go for 2 or 3 days?

Practical? Worth it?<BR>that's up to you.<BR>you can check the train schedules at<BR>fs-on-line.com<BR>If you've always dreamed of seeing something in Florence and this is your only chance for a while, then go for it.<BR>I'd hate to see you shortchange Venice though.

Florence and Venice are both worth two days each and are far apart. Day trip doesn't sound so good.

Do-able? Technically, yes. Eurostar trains will get you there in just under 3 hours. It certainly will be a very long day. And if your plans include going to the Uffizi Gallery and/or Accademia (David), then it's worthwhile to get reservations ahead and avoid long entrance lines.<BR><BR>If it's a daytrip that you're seeking from Venice, then I'd suggest you consider Verona. Alot closer than Florence.<BR><BR>
