Day 1: Venice – Florence
Make your own way to Santa Lucia Station in central Venice to meet your host. Receive your round-trip train ticket, hop-on hop-off tour ticket, hotel details and information about train times, and then leave your host to catch your train and travel to Florence independently.
Train journeys between the two cities can last up to 2.5 hours, but your high-speed train shuttles you into the heart of Florence in just 2 hours. On arrival in the city, check in to your hotel, and then head out to explore! How you spend your time in the Tuscan capital is up to you. Entrance fees to attractions, activities and any meals are at your own expense, but a 48-hour Florence hop-on hop-off tour by open-top, double-decker bus with audio commentary is included. See the Itinerary for a list of routes and stops.
If you want to sightsee on foot, perhaps take a walk along the Ponte Vecchio — Florence’s iconic bridge — to the neighborhood of Oltrarno and relax in Boboli Gardens. In the evening, find an alfresco restaurant near Piazza della Signoria and watch the glamorous Florentines taking their passiagata (evening stroll) around the square.
Overnight: 3- or 4-star hotel in central Florence
Day 2: Florence – Venice (B)
After breakfast in your hotel, enjoy a full day at leisure to continue your fun in Florence. Check out is in the late morning, but you can store your luggage at the hotel for the day, if you wish.
Florence is awash with culture so perhaps start your day with a visit to one of its world-class museums such as the Accademia or Uffizi galleries. Michelangelo’s masterpiece David is inside the Accademia Gallery, and the Uffizi Gallery is home to a treasure trove of Renaissance artwork with works by Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio and, of course, Michelangelo.
However you spend your day, be sure to leave enough time to get to the station. Board your train at Santa Maria Novella Station in the early evening, and then travel back to in Santa Lucia Station in Venice where your independent experience finishes.
