Easy Venice Tour by train

Discover Venice in one day! Take a high-speed train from Florence and experience the magic of St. Mark’s Square, the Grand Canal, and hidden gems. End with a sunset on the Rialto Bridge.

Departure early in the morning with a high-speed train to Venice, a timeless city that you can reach in just about two and a half hours.

Upon arrival at the Santa Lucia station, your adventure begins with a leisurely walk through the quiet calli of Venice in the early hours, when the city awakens gently to the sound of lapping waters and church bells. You will need to reach the splendid Piazza San Marco, where you can admire the majestic Basilica di San Marco with your reserved timed ticket, with its glittering mosaics, and then - with another reserved timed ticket - you can also visit an elegant Doge’s Palace, symbol of Venice’s political and artistic glory.

For lunch, you’ll have free time: we recommend stopping in a typical Venetian osteria to savor local specialties such as cicchetti, accompanied by the inevitable spritz, for a true taste of Venetian life.

In the afternoon, let yourself be carried away by the magic of Venice: wander through its labyrinth of alleys, discover enchanting hidden corners such as the Scala Contarini del Bovolo with its spiral staircase, or explore the fascinating Jewish Ghetto, rich in history and atmosphere. Conclude your day admiring the fiery colors of the sunset from the Rialto Bridge, or treat yourself to an unforgettable gondola ride, the most romantic way to experience Venice.

In the evening, return to Santa Lucia station to board your train, carrying with you the unforgettable memory of a perfect Venetian day.
