Booking train Florence-Venice:

If you decide to travel by train, take into account that there are two companies: TrenItalia (a public sector company) and Italotreno (a new private high-speed train company). As they are continuously compiting on price, we recommend you to check both websites. Usually ItaloTreno has more availabilty with the low cost rate but TrenItalia's train frequency is higher. The journey takes a bit longer with Trenitalia (2h40min vs 2h05min).

Smart Link: Trenitalia official website for Italian trains and ItaloTreno.
