Journey Tips

Frecciarossa high-speed trains cover this Florence-Milan route in well under 2 hours, making it a very practical journey between Tuscany and Lombardy. Both cities are among Italy's most important cultural and economic centers. The AV line via Bologna avoids the older and slower direct route through the Apennines.

Scenic Highlight

The Po Valley between Bologna and Milan is flat and agricultural, but the Apennine foothills south of Bologna and the brief glimpses of the Emilian plain offer a pleasant pastoral backdrop.

Booking Tip

Compare Trenitalia Frecciarossa and Italo fares, which compete aggressively on this popular corridor; Super Economy and Smart fares booked 2-3 weeks ahead offer the best value.
