I would really recommend not making it a day trip and having an overnight stay if you possibly can. Venice is much more pleasant in the evenings when the day trippers have left. [url]www.laterooms.com[/url] is a good place to find hotel discounts especially midweek. Don't stay in Mestre or the Lido, make sure the hotel in in Venice 'proper'. It will only whet your appetite for more - I love Florence but think that Venice is another notch up - its truly one of the wonders of the world - the view that greets you as you come out the station lifts your heart. Make sure you get on a no 1 or 82 vaparetto from outside the station and take the trip all the way down the Grand Canal to St Marks as a starting point..

It will take about 3 hours by train. Trenitalia has a really good website just put in where you want to depart from and where you want to arrive and it will give you the times any changes you may need to take etc. Have a lovely time I love Florence and Venice.
