Taking the train from Florence to Paris

More than 550 miles separate the beautiful Tuscan city of Florence from the French capital of Paris, and while it may be quicker to fly, many people choose to travel this route by train. Not only is it a more eco-friendly way of travelling, Thello night train services mean you can go to sleep in Florence and wake up the next day in the centre of Paris.

The journey takes around 10 hours, and you’ll travel on a mixture of Trenitalia high-speed trains, the Thello sleeper train (if taking the journey overnight) and SNCF services if you change in France. You'll enjoy some scenic views along the way, having the option to travel First Class and enjoy extra legroom as you admire the magical views of Italian and French landscapes.

You'll arrive right in the heart of Paris at the Gare de Lyon, a short metro ride away from all the big sights and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and the fashionista paradise of the Champs Elysées. Keep reading to find out more about this Italy to France train adventure.

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

If you’re planning a trip to Europe soon, our Trainline team of experts have put together some tips to help you find cheap tickets. Booking on the day in Europe is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or travel class.

1. Book in advance

The price of train tickets from Florence to Paris starts at £57.59§ one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Most train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months ahead of time, so if you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find cheaper tickets.

2. Be flexible with your travel times

If you can, consider travelling outside of 'peak hours' (generally between 06:00 - 10:00 and 15:00 - 19:00 on weekdays) as many train companies increase their ticket prices during these commuter times.

3. Buy a rail pass

If you're visiting multiple locations on your trip, buying a rail pass can be cheaper than buying individual tickets. We're official retailers of Interrail Passes that are valid for travel within one country or multiple countries across Europe.

4. Choose a slower or connecting train

On some busier routes, you might have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have some extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare.

5. Look out for train ticket sales and discounts

Many train companies in Europe will often run sales on tickets throughout the year or offer discounts to senior/youth/group travellers, so keep an eye out!

6. Take a night train

Save on accommodation and use the night to travel by sleeper train to your next destination.

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.
