High Speed Train From Florence to Venice

Honestly, I've never thought about it! I purchase tickets on the Freccia line well in advance of my trip. My trip insurance would cover it anyway. Trip insurance is something I would not travel without, especially since I tend to be in Italy well over a month each year.

Good point, Robert. Thanks.

Any disruption caused by the company themselves - strikes, line work, cancelled trains - they are required to make up for you regardless of the kind of ticket you have. You paid for passage and they are required to provide it. The same with late trains, if your train is late so you miss a connection the company (assuming it's the same company) has to rebook you on the next train.

Reasonably the only way you won't get to use your ticket is miss your train (I don't know if this insurance covers that) or you don't go at all which is what trip insurance is for if you're worried about that.

Of course you only need to book fast trains with reserved seats ahead of time and all local regionale trains can be purchased as you need them. Trenitalia has a very useful app for buying and keeping tickets as well as tracking trains in real time.

Book directly with the train companies themselves and if you're really worried about it buy full priced, refundable tickets. When you buy cheap tickets you are trading flexibility for savings. If flexibility is more important to you then don't buy cheap tickets - it's up to you.

Have a great trip,

Thanks, Tod. Booking online train seats from Rome to Florence, Florence to Venice and return to Rome was easy. What could go wrong? Don't answer.

Nothing will go wrong…why do you think it would?

We just went to the train station and used the machine to buy our tickets, then caught the train. It was 2022, so maybe things are busier now, but it just wasn't a problem.
