When the train makes sense for travelling from Venice
Trains from Venice reach Rome, Milan, Florence, and points east-ward, departing from Santa Lucia on the island rather than a mainland airport. Flying still wins on the longest trips, but for these routes the train is usually the most time efficient option - greener, often cheaper, and usually more comfortable too.
Train travel questions
How long is the train from Rome to Venice?
The high-speed train from Rome to Venice takes around 3 hours 45 minutes direct, from centre to centre. It's far simpler than flying once airport time is taken into account.
How long is the train from Milan or Florence to Venice?
Fast trains reach Venice from Milan in about 2 hours 15 minutes and from Florence in about 2 hours, both options direct and high-speed. Booking ahead keeps fares low.
Which Venice station should you book, and how do you buy tickets?
You want Venezia Santa Lucia, the station on the island itself, rather than Mestre on the mainland. Venice train tickets from Trenitalia and Italo are cheapest booked early - it's worth comparing both for the departure time that suits you.
Can you reach Venice by train from Paris or beyond?
Venice connects to the wider European network through Milan, with onward high-speed links towards France and a direct night train from Paris on some services. Weigh the overnight option against a daytime change in Milan to see which better suits your plans.
Is the high-speed train to Venice cheaper than flying?
The high-speed train to Venice usually beats a domestic Italian flight cost-wise once airport transfers and bag fees are factored in, and Santa Lucia puts you right on the island. Advance fares offer the best value.
Is the train to Venice greener than flying?
Taking the train to Venice produces a fraction of the carbon of the equivalent flight out. Italy's high-speed network makes it an easy trade-off.
