How to get from Rome to Florence.

Salute my insatiable tourists! 

Have you already explored Rome? Do you want to discover something else? Let’s go to Florence then. Let’s have a 1-day trip to beautiful Firenze.  

To explore Florence and visit two fascinating galleries where you can admire the marble sculpture of David created by Michelangelo (Accademia Gallery) or the Madonna della Seggiola painted by Raphael (Uffizi Gallery), you will need 2–3 days. But if you want to walk around, see architecture and wonderful views, then 1 day will be enough. 

Base on my experience, I will be glad to share my practical tips with you on how to get there in a fast and comfortable way, where you can enjoy visiting medieval Florence with lots of history and art. 

There are a couple of options available to get from Rome to Florence, like bus, renting a car or a bus tour, but I recommend you take a high-speed train. 

Not a secret that Europe has a very convenient train system where tourists can enjoy their trip and comfortably move from city to city or between countries.

Traveling by train in Italy is incredibly efficient and the most popular way to travel. 

Let’s go! You will not regret! 

Rome-Florence or Roma-Firenze Train: 

In Italy, you can use the Regional or High-Speed Train. 

Direct Regional train: 

A regional train is a cheaper option, but will take more time on the road. 

Trip time: 3.5 – 4 hours 
Cost one way: € 21.75 

Direct High-Speed Train: 

High-speed trains are very fast, but a little more expensive option. 

Trip time: 1.5 hours 
Cost one way: start at € 27.90   

Traveling Tips:  

• Firenze is Florence in Italian.  
• A high-speed train called a Frecciarossa train  
• Most train’s departure from Roma Termini Station and stop at the Firenze Santa Maria Novella station.  
• Santa Maria Novella (S. M. Novella) is the main station in Florence.  
• I recommend purchasing tickets online from the official site of Trenitalia. You can print tickets with a bar code at home or use electronic tickets and the self check-in option on the Trenitalia app. 
• The Trenitalia electronic ticket lets you board your train without a printed train ticket. 
• You can select your seats online. 
• Also, check for promotions on the official website. I am sure you can discover a good and suitable deal. 
• When you come to the train station, go to the big screen, find your train number and wait until the number of your platform will show on the display. Go there right away because the train might stay for very little time before departure. 
• High-speed trains are equipped with air conditioning and electrical outlets in your seats to charge your portable devices. 
• Wi-Fi is available on most trains. 
• Trains have enough space and racks to store luggage.
