FIRST CLASS TRAIN TO VENICE | Florence to Venice on the Frecciarossa 1000 Travel Vlog

- We were really excited to use our first class Eurail pass for the first time to travel from Florence to Venice on the Frecciarossa 1000 (yes, the name is awesome). Before this, we had only used our Eurail pass for 2nd class trains, because of the unexpectedly hefty seat reservation fees. We decided to splurge a bit and take the fast train just to see what it was like. And it was GREAT. The train was comfortable, eerily quiet, had super fast wifi, and even came with some snacks. All in all a great experience.
After arriving, we wandered all around Venice, had some delicious take away pasta, and got lost in the best way possible. What a perfect day :)

Thanks for specifying which stop gets you closer to Venice.
What a beautiful train. Great experience. Thanks for sharing guys
Thank you so much!
This is the first time I've ever looked at the time of a video to see if there was more - and was so happy there was more to watch. I loved this so much and that shot of you exiting the train station and seeing the water. Amazing.
This is the best compliment we've probably ever received - THANK YOU! So happy that we found each other, thank you for watching
@@LisaAndJosh we have been stuck in lockdowns and closed borders since March 2020 so it's been a wonderful escape to watch. I'll find you on Insta to follow some more. Enjoy your Camino ✌🏾
You guys are getting better and better with your editing and story telling. And, of course, you absolutely can't go wrong with such gorgeous b roll as there is in Venice!!
Thanks so much for saying that! We are definitely finding it easier as we travel to these beautiful places. Venice was a dream!!!
An entertaining and informative video. I like how u show the train ride and info bc we are planning to take trains with kids and we’re wondering what it looked like inside.
Love the video!! Is so funny I’m like josh😁 about searching for the perfect place to eat my husband gets hangry too but he has a trick now he brings a few candies on his pockets😂😂😂, thank you for sharing and giving the details about the expending, really helpful 🙏
So smart! I’ve started to bring snacks with me too but I usually get more tired from all the walking than hangry 😆 you two complement each other well :) thank you for watching!
You are very simpatics.. And Lisa has a nice smile.
:) :) :)
If you like sea, you can visit Puglia, in the south of Italy.
Gargano and Salento are the best places
we'll look into that - thank you! :)
Really love you guys videos. I am binge watching now . You have our style of traveling. You make me want to go to travel again. Haven’t go far since the COVID.
Thank you so much! :) good to know we're not the only ones out there doing it this way! What would you want to see from our videos?
@@LisaAndJosh Watching now your video talking about missing veggies during the trip. I have exactly the same issue. Always try to find 'greens'. Your videos are very real, not like some other 'influencers'. Example, we also bought bread, cheese, and ham, and ate in our hotel room in Switzerland. Because of watching your video in Italy, we just booked our trip to Italy, which is the first internal trip after the pandemic. You mentioned about the heat and being exhausted, and I appreciated your video providing real feelings. I like to see you two travel, like rest of us, the ordinary people. P.S. I also enjoy the little clips in the end of each video.
@@tanoshi2009 thanks so much for saying that! It’s definitely not all glamour and we think it’s what makes traveling so fun :) we definitely ate in all the time during Switzerland!! enjoy your travels and have a wonderful time!
Hope you have fun!
Venice is the best :) we had a blast!
Yahoo!!! Venice!!!!!! Enjoy Guys!!!!
Thank you! :)
Gorgeous! Slightly regretting not adding Venice to my Italy itinerary.. 😬 Glad you guys decided to go so I can live vicariously through you!
Venice is absolutely stunning! :) you can always come back!!
@@LisaAndJosh Not when the crowds will be back. It's going to be a nightmare. I know something, I'm Venetian.
I’ve really been enjoying your videos. I first started following you guys when we were going to Hawaii (we were on Oahu for all of March 2021), and next we’re going to Europe for this Christmas/new year’s. We’ve never been out of the USA, and your videos are helping us to plan and to get even more excited for our trip! One thing I’d like to see you address is VPNs. Keep on exploring, and I’ll be right here experiencing through you!
Thank you so much :) can't wait to hear more about where you're going!
Oh man, ok, so VPNs (my previous life as an IT guy is coming through here) - so, I've been playing around with NordVPN for the past few weeks, and I have to say, it's been super helpful moreso on this trip than my previous ones. Many of the banks / credit cards / other financial-adjacent services that I use act very... oddly when accessed from an IP address outside of the USA. Some fully block all IPs outside the US, but most just randomly disconnect or have other odd problems. NordVPN is good (a bit overpriced + SUPER long terms, like 2 year commitment minimum), but honestly I think it would be better to just install a VPN-capable router (like the Unifi Edgerouter X or similar) at a friend or family members house and VPN back to that for free. I haven't needed to VPN to a different country other than the US yet, and I'm not sure I will. I guess for different Netflix content? Don't have time for Netflix anyway :)
Hope that helps!
@@LisaAndJosh Yes it does help. I’ve been considering a VPN for a little while now to watch British TV, but the upcoming trip has me thinking more seriously about subscribing to one, for the sake of security on public WiFi. Btw, our trip will be to Munich, Prague and Paris.
@@matthewwilt1455 Yep - my thought on security on public wifi is that every single website I use is HTTPS, so it's encrypted by default in-browser. VPN is certainly more secure, but I generally find it overkill for that use case.
I can't believe you got through a day in Venice with such little money! It is probably the most expensive European city, and rightly so. I hope you enjoyed every day of your Italian journey.
Ha yeah - it's so, so expensive :) I think, honestly, that most of the cost goes to eating out in Italy. It's just SO expensive to eat at any restaurant. The food is worth it, no doubt, but man does it just blow our budget into little pieces
@@LisaAndJosh There are a lot of very good restaurants with very resonable prices out in the country but you've to get out of the international tourist routes to find them.
That means you would either have to rent a car or take regional trains and stop in smaller cities on your way to the big tourist attractions.
Loved this video 💯👌🏻
So glad! Thank you!!
Can you do a video about eurail passes? I’m planning my trip and would love to hear your experiences and how to book the pass and trains!
Anche Burano è fantastica, merita un viaggio 🇮🇹👍❣️
Fried land is the best! Cheap and good.
Oh, we're so sad Fried Land was closed that day! It looked so good!
I’m with Lisa on the Mcdonald’s thing, LOL! When I see a Mcdonald’s in another country, I’m always intrigued on what their menu has to offer thats different from the US, LOL!
Yes!! haha we haven't actually tried anything different yet at McDonald's on this trip so far, but so want to! Love the McDonald's in Taiwan and Tokyo!!
Not only in Italy, in whole Europe, fo your trips use trains. They go everywhere and service is very good., I suggest you " Madrid - Vallodoild " trough la Sierras. El Escorial, Avila ( a dream ) Segovia. Fantastic.
We are there in 2012! I got the bolognese and I thought it was the best pasta I'd ever had... however I did eat it right away in saint mark's square (I guess rules change). And maybe it was better in 2012...
Are you doing France. Normandy and you got see Le Mont-Saint-Michel is a tidal island and mainland commune in Normandy, France. It is amazing
Thanks for the suggestion! We will be going to France to walk the Camino in a few months!
I want to go some day good video
thank you :)
Going to Florence for a week next month and a trip with the Red Arrow is certainly on the menu. Rome just 1 1/2 hours, Venice just 2 which means you can even do these places on a daytrip. Seems like a great network.
Right? It's super convenient
LMAO..on a daytrip to see what?? You would not even see 1\1000 of Florence in a daytrip, go figure Rome.
@@alessandrom7181 I said you "could" which is completely true. Not that you should. I completely agree its probably not the best idea. But because of the high speed networks many cities are only a couple of hours by train so you totally can do it if you really want.
There' s a McDonald in the Vatican, not a shock if there's one in Venice too.
Ha - we missed that one in the Vatican :) next time
Great video! Since 2012 lol. -Anthony
lol :) thanks man
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. Greeting from IRAN❤😉🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
Our pleasure! Thanks so much for watching :)
bologna is nice city, you have to visit.
we will sometime :) what should we do there?
I can't believe you took pasta in a box in italy.... it's like visiting the Guinness factory and getting a coke at the vending machines
Lol, come on now, you know that's a bit dramatic :) but we get your point
Super Lovly
Thank you!!
Trying to sit down anywhere in Italy outside (without paying), is always a challenge. .. lol
So true!
.. but the churches, do you visit them? They are beautiful and, apart from a few exceptions, free ...have a good trip!
Sometimes! It just always feels a bit weird to film inside a church...
quick question!! to enter venice from rome via train do you need a negative covid test or another EU dPLF?? :)
We did not need that for the train ride - but that may have changed in the past few weeks! We are getting our vaccine cards checked at every restaurant in Austria now, the EU may have new rules. Best to check the Reopen EU site.
Cost from Florence to Venice?
I avoid shared bathrooms at all cost. How was your experience?
Hey Gabriel--this was actually pretty nice! Yeah, it can be a bit inconvenient, but it wasn't crowded, so it almost felt like we had the bathroom to ourselves.
would this be considered business class?
Think Venice was my least favourite place to visit as I found it dirty, smelly and overrated albeit the the buildings and flooding of the square were special. Have been there a few time and twice to embark and then disembark from a cruise. Was so happy to hop the bus to Genoa and spend a few days just soaking in the atmosphere..
Frecciarossa is not Freccia argento and freccia argento is not frecciarossa. Rosso = red / argento = silver Frecciarossa 1000 offers the newest coaches/highest speed than the slightly older freccia argento. There's also freccia bianca (white arrow).
Ah yeah I may have misspoke on the first part - my mistake! We took the Frecciarossa 1000
Hope the pandemic theater is over by now.
