Planning your journey: Trains from Venice to Florence
Departure station: Departing from Venice Mestre or Venice Santa Lucia
One of the most common ways to travel from Venice to Florence is by rail. You can do this from two different stations within the city: Venice Mestre or Venice Santa Lucia. Both offer frequent services throughout the day, provided by Italo and Trenitalia.
The station you use will depend on where in Venice you’re staying. Venice Santa Lucia is located directly on the Grand Canal. If you’re staying in Venice's historic centre, this is the most convenient departure point. There are vaporetto stops - Venice’s public waterbuses - and water taxis outside the main entrance, making it easy to get to. If you’re on the mainland, Venice Mestre is likely to be the better choice. It’s ideal if you’re staying close to Venice Marco Polo Airport or in Mestre itself, as it's a quicker and more practical option than venturing to Venice Santa Lucia.
Both stations have cafés, shops and waiting areas, so you can grab an espresso and rest your legs whilst you wait for your train. If you're squeezing in some last-minute sightseeing, the stations have Deposito Bagagli, which is a left-luggage office where you can store your bags before boarding.
Arrival station: Firenze Santa Maria Novella
Venice to Florence trains: Should you choose Italo or Trenitalia?
You have the choice of two operators when you’re buying train tickets from Venice to Florence: you can choose a Venice to Florence Italo service, or a Venice to Florence Trenitalia service.

Venice to Florence travel tips
There’s nothing difficult about getting the train from Venice to Florence, but it does help to read a few travel tips before you commit.
- Book high-speed tickets in advance: Frecciarossa and Italo fares are usually cheapest when they’re first released, so it’s a good idea to book in advance. This is especially important if you’re travelling during peak times.
- Leave time to reach your station: Once you’ve chosen your Venice to Florence train station, you need to work out how to get there. Getting around Venice takes longer than many first-time visitors expect. If you're departing from Venice Santa Lucia, factor in time for walking across bridges, taking a vaporetto or arranging a water taxi.
- Keep an eye on live rail updates: Italian rail services are generally reliable, but platform changes can happen at larger stations, so it’s important to keep yourself in the loop. When you book with TrainPal, you can check real-time train information, making it easier to check.
