My Europe Trip 2019 Part XII – Venice City Of Water

Today I’m leaving Florence for Venice.

FYI, the hotel I stayed in Florence is called Florence Dome Hotel which had a 3 Star rating. However this hotel does not provide free coffee, tissue, bar soap BUT it does give me fresh towels daily, free breakfast and the shower pressure is really good.

We took a taxi from our hotel to the train station and it cost me EUR15. Our trainĀ  departed for Venice at 11.30am.

The train platform will only be announced 15 minutes before departure. We took the Bullet Train Business Class Coach and the journey took 2 hours.

Right after exiting the train platform, you will see a shop selling Public Water Bus Tickets.
