Trains from Venice to Milan
Venice to Milan runs the width of the Po plain, from the lagoon to the Lombard capital, passing a chain of cities, Padua, Vicenza, Verona and Brescia, that each reward a visit of their own. Business travellers use it on weekdays, visitors use it to link the canals with Milan's design shops, opera and the lakes to the north, and many people take it to connect on to Switzerland or to fly home from Malpensa. The journey is domestic and the return is covered on this page.

About the Venice to Milan train
Your departure is either Venezia Santa Lucia, on the Grand Canal, or Venezia Mestre on the mainland; the results show which station each option uses, so check it against where you are staying. Fix the date and passengers and decide whether to add Milan to Venice for the way back. The line crosses the plain in a straight run west: Padua with its basilica and arcades, Vicenza and its Palladian villas, Verona on the Adige with the arena and the castle, Brescia beneath its fortress on the hill, then the outskirts of Milan. Lake Garda lies just north of the line between Verona and Brescia, though it is only glimpsed from the train. Milano Centrale is north-east of the centre with underground lines below. Milan is a working city rather than a museum: the Duomo and the Galleria at the heart, the fashion streets of the Quadrilatero beyond them, Brera's galleries and restaurants, the Navigli canals in the evening. Many of the hotels on this page sit near the station or in the centre, and each shows its distance from MXP, the airport to the north-west. Add an Italy eSIM if you need data for the stay.
