Italy → Italy · 231 km apart
Florence to Rome
Take the Train — 1h 16m, from €15, 2–3 an hour
One of the best-value high-speed hops in Europe: Frecciarossa and Italo both run Firenze Santa Maria Novella to Roma Termini in about an hour and a quarter, dozens of times a day, from €14.90 when the booking window opens four months out. Both operators use dynamic pricing, so the fare depends almost entirely on when you book. Nothing else on this route is worth considering — a coach takes three times as long to save a few euros, and there is no sensible flight over 230 km.
Every way to make the trip
Fares open around €14.90 about four months ahead and rise as seats sell. Walk-up tickets can pass €50.
Times are the fastest scheduled service for each mode; flights are gate to gate, before airport time. Fares are typical advance-booking ranges, not quotes. Checked 5 September 2026. Distance is straight-line — rail and road are longer.
Prefer to drive?
Compare car hire at either end. Returning the car in the other city usually adds a one-way fee — check it before you book.
