Taking the train from Paris to Florence

Take the train, leave the City of Lights after breakfast and arrive in the Tuscan city in no time for dinner. It’s more scenic than flying and definitely less stressful than driving! Relax and enjoy the scenery as your high-speed train travels to Firenze Santa Maria Novella Station. Instead of browsing flight sites, why not treat yourself to a first-class ticket and travel from Paris to Florence in style?

Forget about long check-in times or making your way out of the city to airports. Your departure and arrival stations are all centrally located. The fastest way to reach the art and architecture of Florence is to depart early in the morning on high-speed SNCF, Italo or Frecciarossa trains. Or, take an overnight route, snuggled up in a comfortable couchette and arrive in time for an extra day's sightseeing. All routes involve a connection, usually at Milano Centrale Station. Whichever service you choose, enjoy spacious seats, power sockets, WiFi, toilets and buffet services.

Once in Florence, there's no lengthy wait for your luggage. Hop off the train and head for the city sights. Put the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo at the top of your list then check below for more information about train times, ticket prices and much more.

How do I find cheap train tickets from Paris to Florence?

The price of train tickets from Paris to Florence starts at £81.96 one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Booking on the day is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or class.

1. Book in advance

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Paris to Florence by booking early.§

2. Be flexible with your travel times

Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.

3. Choose a slower or connecting train

On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!

4. Look out for special deals

Take a look at our handy guides to find out when train operators release their special deals and offers to see if you can find cheap European train tickets for your journey.

For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

§Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.
