Options Rome to Venice


Train


Venezia Santa Lucia railway station is located in the historic city of Venice. Trains cross the Ponte della Libertà to mainland Italy on its first portion of the journey to Italy’s capital. It takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes to take the trip on the rails from Venice to Rome. Prices generally start at €29 and go up to €80.


Venezia Mestre railway station is on the mainland portion of Venice. It is open through the night; Venezia Santa Lucia is closed at night. A short bus ride may be taken from the historic city to this station. Train rides from here to Rome last between 3 hours 26 minutes and 3 hours 28 minutes. The price range for trips originating from here is similar to those leaving from Venezia Santa Lucia.


Roma Termini is the destination railway station in Rome. It is also the city’s largest and is centrally located. Being at the center of the metro system, it's the easiest entry point for Rome.


Taking a train is the roomiest of the three primary travel options available for those taking this trip. Another plus is that train travel allows travelers to quickly make the journey from city center to city center. The scenery on this route is also noteworthy and is not accessible to those flying.


Train tickets may be purchased from the Tren Italia website.


Plane


Marco Polo International Airport is the airport that serves Venice. It is located on the mainland. Travelers can reach it via direct bus service from Piazzale Roma, the bus terminal located in Venice near Venezia Santa Lucia. The flight to Rome takes about 65 minutes.


Flights from Venice to Rome land at Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino International Airport. The easiest way to travel from here into the city is to take Leonardo Express trains for the 31 minute, 23 mile journey to Roma Termini. Local train service is also available from Fiumicino Aeroporto railway station.


Two companies provide non-stop air travel between these two destinations:Alitalia and easyJet. Reservations may be made at the Alitalia website and the easyJet website. Costs when purchasing a seat from Alitalia range from approximately €50 to €150 while easyJet rates range from about €35 to €75.


Taking a plane is the quickest route between the two cities once you get in the air.


Bus


The easiest way to reserve a bus trip from Venice to Rome is to visit Eurolines and make a reservation there. The trip costs €45 and takes about eight hours with a transfer required in the middle of the trip. There are about three trips a day. Buses depart from Piazzale Roma. The primary reason why bus travel is not a preferred option for long-distance travel within Italy is because there is no nationalized bus company.
