Privater Autotransfer von Zurich nach Venedig

Overview: car trip from Zurich to Venice

From your hotel in Zurich, the only thing standing between you and Venice is the Alps, the highest mountain range in Europe. That’s no problem for your Daytrip driver, though. They are professional drivers local to the area who know the mountainous roads and tunnels from Zurich to Venice very well.

The drive involves five hours and 50 minutes of driving across some of the most beautiful stretches of Europe. Take panoramic photos at Mount Rigi or visit Brescia Castle, all without relying on a regional bus schedule.

About Venice

Venica has baffled engineers and anthropologists for centuries. It is among the world’s most-visited cities and its creative approaches to environmental challenges keep it in the scientific limelight. Your trip from Zurich to Venice promises to be inspiring and intriguing, and you’ll leave with more questions than when you arrived.

Venice: an unlikely success

In 452 AD, the Huns invaded and forced mainland Italian refugees onto a marshy lagoon off of the northeastern coast of the Italian Peninsula. These refugees used the materials and knowledge they had from the landscape and drove sturdy timber poles into the marshland. Atop these poles, they placed limestone slabs to form the foundation of their homes, stores, artisan workshops, and churches.

From Zurich to Venice: travel tips

The drive from Zurich to Venice is an all-day affair. Keep these travel tips in mind so you’re fully prepared and having a great trip.

Plan your breaks

For the six-hour-long journey, you’re already going to have to stop at least once for food, the restroom, and to stretch your legs. Instead of pulling into a rest stop off of the highway for fast food, use the occasion to have a nice meal of tortellini in Borghetto sul Mincio and a stroll along the Mincio river. You are in Italy, after all!

Things to do when you get to Venice

Just being in Venice is a remarkable event. Its winding canals, tight alleyways, and extravagant buildings are the perfect backdrop to a casual evening stroll after your journey from Zurich to Venice. In the morning, start your day off right with a traditional Italian breakfast and head to these famous sites:

Piazza San Marco: the heart of Venice

Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) was the center of Venetian society and is a natural starting point for sightseeing. It sits in the shadow of Basilica di San Marco (St. Mark's Basilica), the Campanile di San Marco (St Mark's Campanile), and the Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace).

When is the best time to visit Venice

As you can imagine, a city built on a solid bed of limestone floating on a marsh doesn’t have tall buildings or trees to keep the streets shaded during hot days. Summers in Venice are incredibly hot and crowded, with guests streaming in from both mainland Italy and the cruise ships docked outside of its harbors.

We recommend planning your trip from Zurich to Venice during the spring or autumn. You’ll have a much more pleasant experience, cheaper accommodation, and shorter queues for tours.
