Question

I am looking for a cheap 2 days tour from Trieste to Florence.?

Answer 1

From Trieste it will be easier to find tours to Slovenia, Croatia, or Venice because they're all closer.

The cheapest way to do this is to take the train. There's a Eurostar that leaves Trieste at 8:56 am and arrives in in Florence at 1:21 pm for 34 euro. However, you'll probably want to arrive earlier. There is an option leaving Trieste at 4:30 am and arriving at Florence at 9:23 am with a train change at Venice Mestre station for 37.10.

Normally, I would recommend a berth in a night train for a trip like this. You could save the price of a hotel, sleep overnight oon the train and arrive early. In this case, there isn't a direct night train, and you would have to lay over in Bologna for about 2 hours at 2 am.

You can check schedules and prices at: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html

A good source for hotels in Italy is: http://en.venere.com/hotels_florence/ You can sort by location and price and see reviews by previous guests. I use this site a lot for booking within Italy and some other places in Europe.

When you get to Florence any good guide book will direct you to the sights. Florence is compact and easily walkable. There are also guided walking tours available there.
