Best Public Transportation from Siena to Venice?

[Kathleen]

We are looking for ideas to avoid driving ourselves?

[Lourdes]

The best solution is to take a bus to Florence (the bus station is right by the SMN train station) and from there catch a fast speed train to Venice.

You can see the bus schedule here:

bus 131R (rapido 75 min) or 131O (ordinario 95min)

and the train schedules on both Trenitalia: www.trenitalia.com as well as Italo: www.italotreno.it.
