Travel to Venice

Located in the northern Italy's Veneto region, Venice is easy to reach by train, car or plane from Italy and from abroad.

 

By plane

The Marco Polo airport in Venice (IATA: VCE) is the closest international airport at about 13 km from the city. The airport is accessible from other major European airports through ~2 hours or shorter duration flights.


Then, from the Venice Marco Polo airport, to reach the venue you can first take the Alilaguna (blue line) service towards the Railway Station. There is one ride every 30 minutes for most of the day, which after 1h 20 minutes stops at San Zaccaria Peer B1 (300 meters East of Saint Mark Square).

 

By train

Venice is 2.5 hours from Milan or Florence, 3.5 hours from Rome and 5 hours from Naples through high-speed trains.
The main train station is 'Venezia Santa Lucia'.
There are 2 main companies connecting the main cities, for tickets purchase and routes check their websites:

  • Trenitalia, offering both fast trains between major cities and regional trains reaching smaller cities
