A frequently asked question for those planning a trip to Italy<\/a><\/strong> and its major cities – <\/em>how do I travel from Rome to Florence by train<\/strong>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are high speed trains from Rome to Florence<\/strong> running out of Rome\u2019s two major train stations, Roma Termini<\/strong> and Roma Tiburtina<\/strong>, every 20 minutes or so and sometimes more frequently than that. Sure, you can rent a car or take a bus to Florence, which is about a 3.5-hour ride (traffic permitting), but the absolute fastest way to get from Rome to Florence is via train<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind, there are two train stations in Florence<\/strong>: Firenze S. M. Novella<\/strong> (Florence Santa Maria Novella) and Firenze Rifredi, S.M. Novella being the main railway station in Florence and a mere 10-minute walk to Florence\u2019s historic city center<\/a>, a World Heritage UNESCO Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not that much at all! A direct high-speed train to Florence from Rome takes about 1.5 hours<\/strong> with tickets starting around 40 euros<\/strong>, while the slower and less expensive local trains<\/strong> will cost you about 20 euros<\/strong> and take twice as long with an average ride of 3.5 hours. But obviously that depends on when you buy and if you book during high peak season versus the low season months. To find trains at lower costs, avoid booking tickets the day of your travel.<\/p>\n\n\n Embark on a swift getaway to the gem of the Renaissance \u2013 Florence, all within reach from Rome via High-speed train.

Trenitalia<\/strong><\/em> has the high-speed train Frecciarossa<\/strong><\/em> as well as the intercity local trains out of Roma Termini and Roma Tiburtina while Italo<\/strong><\/em> trains only offer service from Roma Termini to Firenze S. M. Novella. Be sure to check out each of their websites for specific time tables and train schedules, as availability and prices may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Eternal City of Rome, one of the most ancient cities to exist in modern times and Florence, the Birthplace of the Renaissance and one of the most charming cities rich in history, great architecture and art \u2013 are just a short train ride away from one another. So, you can actually see Rome\u2019s Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, the Duomo of Florence and Michelangelo<\/a>\u2019s David all on the same trip to Italy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can fly from Rome to Florence (and vice versa). There are two airports in Rome<\/a>, Fiumicino\/Leonardo da Vinci (FCO)<\/strong><\/a> and Ciampino (CIA)<\/strong><\/a> and only one airport in Florence, Aeroporto di Firenze-Peretola<\/a><\/strong> formally known as Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While there are flights from Rome to Florence that are about an hour, you have to factor in the time spent at the airport as well as the time spent getting to and from, which can take up to 5 hours total. Also, costs are not so cheap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also buses from Rome to Florence at a low cost (starting at 20 euro one way) that leave from both the Tiburtina and Termini train stations in Rome and take up to 4 hours each way. The most popular providers with the most options are FlixBus<\/em>, Itabus<\/em>, and Marinobus<\/em> but be sure to check out each website for timetables and costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or you can opt to drive from Rome to Florence and rent a car at multiple well-known rental companies like Budget<\/em>, Avis<\/em>, Hertz<\/em>, Enterprise<\/em>, or Europcar<\/em>. However many people prefer to take the train from Rome to Florence and rent the car from there, so they can drive around and explore the Tuscany countryside<\/a> by car. Keep in mind that having a car \u2013 a rental or your own – is a hassle when it comes to traffic and heavy restrictions for parking within or even anywhere near the city center in Florence and Rome. There are hefty fines and tickets for being in the oftentimes confusing restricted zones that are very much enforced. Besides the traffic and parking laws, just navigating the roads and city streets within Italy (specifically Rome and Florence) can be rather tricky. Getting lost can be fun in Italy but not when you\u2019re short on time!<\/p>\n\n\n\nRome to Florence by train is easy\u2026and fast!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
