Hello- I wrote a week or two ago about the best route from CT (Vernazza) to Venice. I think we'd like to try the fastest route, though with more changes.
It looks like the route is Vernazza - Pisa Centrale - Firenze S.M. Novella - Venezia S. Lucia, leaving VErnazza at 9:28am.
My questions:
1. Will we be leaving directly from Vernazza? Someone mentioned that the first route was via La Spezia. Will we just stay on the train and go through La Spezia from Vernazza?
I read that two of the trains are locale trains and two are the high speed. How will I know ahead of time which are which.
Is it difficult to find which train you need to change to, in the station when you arrive if you don't speak Italian?
One poster mentioned that we'd have 10 minutes in-between trains. Is that really enough time to find your next train, if you've never done this before (and don't speak Italian)? Will that be enough time to validate and get to your train? How close are the tracks?
Any other tips?
Thanks!!!!!!
