Trains from Rome to Venice

About the Rome to Venice train

You leave from Roma Termini, on the eastern side of the centre with underground lines beneath it. Decide the date and passengers and whether you want Venice to Rome booked in the same session; then search for live times and fares. The line runs north past Florence and Bologna, over the Apennines and across the flat Veneto through Padua, then onto the causeway across the lagoon. Venice has stations at both ends of that causeway: Venezia Mestre on the mainland, and Venezia Santa Lucia on the island, where the steps lead straight down to the Grand Canal and the water buses. Your search result names the arrival station, so check it matches where your hotel is. The island city is walked or sailed, never driven, so a hotel's position matters: near Santa Lucia or Piazzale Roma if you have heavy luggage, around San Marco or Dorsoduro if you want the squares and galleries on foot, on the Lido or in Mestre if you prefer space and a calmer evening. The hotels on this page include their distance from VCE, the airport across the lagoon to the north. An Italy eSIM can go in the same booking.
