How long is the train ride from Florence to Venice?

I am going to be taking the Eurorail and was wondering approx. how long of a ride it is from Florence to Venice? Is there a better train too?How long is the train ride from Florence to Venice?
Eurorail is a third party company that books tickets or provides passes for trains in Europe, but they don't run the train systems. I live about two hours from both Florence and Venice in Emilia Romagna. The direct trains between Florence and Venice take 2 hr 40 min. You can verify that here: http://www.trenitalia.com/cms/v/index.js鈥?/a> . An intecity train takes a little over three hours.



Note that if you're using a Eurail pass, you still have to make a reservation for the faster trains and there will be a 9.50 euro charge for the faster trains or 3 euro for the Intercity. You could do this without a reservation by using the regional train from Florence to Bologna and another regional train from there to Venice. This adds a lot of travel time and requires a train change. There are also fewer options - particularly between Florence and Bologna.How long is the train ride from Florence to Venice?
I don麓t actually remember, but I think it's two to four hours...not that long...try checking the italian train site.
