Firenze / Florence to Parma by train

There are three options for taking a train from Florence/Firenze to Parma:

  1. Despite the comparatively short distance, the most frequent option involves taking a high speed train to Bologna and connecting there for a journey on to Parma.
  2. There is a daily Frecce train from the main city centre station in Florence/Firenze to Modena, but it doesn't depart until late into the evening.
  3. There are also a few direct Intercity trains, but if you want to set off from the main city centre station, S.M.Novella, you'll need to make a connection into these trains.
