How long is the Eurail ride from Rome to Venice and Rome to Milan?

Question

I will be in Rome next month on vacation and I was wondering if anybody knew the time it takes to get from Rome to Milan and Rome to Venice. I have to catch a flight and I was wondering which city to book the flight out of and I am basing it on the time it takes to get to each city by way of Eurail. Also, if there is an option to take a high-speed train, how much would that cost? Thanks!

Answer 1

Depends on the line.  If you take the EuroStar (slightly more expensive than the IC trains) Rome to Milan is about 4-4.5 hours.  Milan to Venice is 3 hours by IC train and around 2 by Eurostar.  Direct from  Rome to Venice, I'm not sure but check out this website.  Don't worry, just click on the button for english and it will translate just fine.
