Train Recommendations Chioggia to Florence to Lake Geneva

[rbslos18]

Our cruise ends in Chioggia. We would like to visit Florence and Lake Geneva ending in Paris. Any suggestions how to do this via train? I assume we need to get to Padova to get the train.

Thanks

Chioggia to Florence: looking at the Trenitalia site, looks like the simplest way to do this would be a Regionale train to Rovigo, then connect to the Frecciarossa to Florence (Firenze when searching on the website).

 

Florence to Lake Geneva: if using the city of Geneva as an arrival point, again pretty straightforward, train (Frecciarossa or Intercity) from Florence to Milan, then a Eurocity train to Geneva.

 

Geneva to Paris: the easiest of the bunch, there's a direct TGV from Geneva to Paris.

 

There are of course more creative (and potentially picturesque) possibilities, check them out at The Man in Seat 61: https://www.seat61.com/Italy.htm
