Trains from Florence to Venice
Crossing the Apennines, skirting Bologna and Padua and then running out over the lagoon on a causeway, the train from Florence to Venice ends at a station with the Grand Canal at its door. It is the leg of an Italian rail loop that people look forward to: Tuscany giving way to the Veneto and the flat, watery landscape around Venice. Choose a date and the number of travellers below to see live times and fares; the return leg is listed on its own.

About the Florence to Venice train
Make sure your ticket says Venezia Santa Lucia and not Venezia Mestre. Mestre is on the mainland; Santa Lucia is on the island, and stepping out of it onto the canal steps, with the water buses in front of you, is the arrival people come for. From there you reach the rest of Venice by boat or on foot over the bridges, so pack luggage you can carry up steps. Santa Maria Novella in Florence is where you board. Set the date and the party size before you search; the results show times and fares for that day and any change along the way. Venice to Florence is covered on its own page on AI Concierge, which is where to look for the return. Venice is a city of islands and districts, called sestieri, from San Marco around the square to Cannaregio behind the station and Dorsoduro across the canal. The hotels under Where to stay in Venice show their distance from Marco Polo airport, which lies on the mainland to the north, and the Italy eSIM plans linked on the page serve visitors from outside Italy.
