So what are you waiting for? Book with Daytrip and let our door-to-door car service get you to Venice so you can begin exploring this unique Italian city.

Don't drive yourself to Venice

It might be tempting, but the last thing you want to do is drive from Civitavecchia to Venice. If you didn't know before, we'll let you in on a common conundrum travelers face—Venice is car-free. Yes, you read that right. Unlike other European cities, you cannot use a car to travel around the city and rely on boats, gondolas, and ferries.

If you drive, you'll have to leave your rental vehicle at one of the popular parking lots nearby the city, like the Piazzale Roma, which can be found on the outskirts of Santa Croce. Unfortunately, these parking lots are often full—especially during peak season—so it can become incredibly frustrating. This is why you should consider traveling with a private car service like Daytrip, which can drop you off in the city without worrying about parking.

Avoid getting fined

Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of getting fined when visiting Italy and its cities, like Venice. Many of the things that might be acceptable elsewhere aren't acceptable in Italy. For example, you cannot swim in Venice's canals or walk around in your swimwear.

Nor can you feed birds or sit on pavements and have impromptu picnics in any of the towns along the way. Doing any of these things will land you a hefty triple-figure fine. If you're unsure what you can and cannot do, consider asking your Daytrip driver. They are locals and can guide you on what is and isn't acceptable behavior.

Stand, don't sit at bars and cafes

An Italy-wide rule is to stand and not sit at bars and cafes if you visit any local city like Venice. You'll avoid paying a seating supplement by eating your pastry or drinking your coffee at the bar. Yes, that is a thing. If you do want to sit, expect to pay double figures and additional fees at times – especially if you're sitting outside and there is live street entertainment.

From Civitavecchia to Venice by bus

The cheapest way to get from Civitavecchia to Venice is usually to take the bus. A few bus companies offer trips to Venice, including Flixbus and Itabus, which run trips between the two cities every hour. Typically, bus tickets cost between $34 and $96 (€31.50-€89), but the downside is that the trip can take almost 11 hours.

Although the route is scenic, let's be honest. Who wants to sit on a bus for 11 hours, encountering stopovers and transfers? There are not many, so if you can afford it, consider taking a train or private car transfer service instead.

From Civitavecchia to Venice by train

More than 15 trains leave Civitavecchia for Venice daily. In fact, the Trenitalia high-speed train line offers trips every hour between these two destinations. Typically, a ticket costs between $47 and $165 (€43.50-€153), and a direct-speed train trip takes about five hours and 55 minutes. This is quite expensive, especially considering this is the ticket price for a single trip, and not everyone has almost six hours to spare on travel time.

In addition, you can also choose to take a train, a flight, and then a train again or a bus. For example, you can take a train from Civitavecchia to Rome, then fly from Rome to Venice, and then take a bus from Venice's airport to Venice itself. This roundabout way usually takes longer and can be more expensive.

From Civitavecchia to Venice by private car service

Driving from Civitavecchia to Venice with a private car transfer service is the easiest and quickest way to travel between the two cities. On average, a trip with a door-to-door service like Daytrip takes a little over five hours if you travel directly.

Daytrip drivers can also accommodate sightseeing requests and take you to the best attractions and landmarks along the way. You will also get to set the time you travel, and you won't need to worry about handling your own luggage, as Daytrip drivers have it covered.

In addition, Daytrip vehicles are well maintained and comfortable, which is a relief for long trips like a drive from Civitavecchia to Venice. Cost-wise, Daytrip might be a little more expensive than public transport at $183 (€170) a trip, but it's worth it considering you get all these benefits and more.

Teatro La Fenice

Venice has numerous opera houses, but the Teatro La Fenice is special. This opera house is one of the most popular in the city because it has survived not one, not two, but three fires! Built in 1792, the Teatro La Fenice, or Theater of the Phoenix as it is called by locals, has numerous shows yearly that continue to entertain crowds.

So, if you're considering visiting the Teatro La Fenice, do it. A show at this opera is worth its weight in gold. The orchestral or ballet performance will be groundbreaking, but you'll also enjoy an old-world feel since the opera house features a decadently designed gold interior, a glittering stage, and plush red velvet chairs.

Gondola rides

You shouldn't visit Venice without enjoying a gondola ride through the city's main canals. To avoid disappointment, we recommend pre-booking a gondola ride as they can get popular and busy during peak season and during the summer.

By booking well in advance, you can guarantee a ride and avoid the hassle of waiting in lengthy lines. Also, a gondola ride through the Grand Canal is more than a novelty in this city since you'll get to see Venice from a unique vantage point. While you sit back and relax, you'll get to see some of the world's most beautiful neighborhoods and bask in the historic charm of the alleyways and local buildings.

Santa Maria della Salute

If you want to visit one of Italy's oldest and most magnificent churches, we recommend the Santa Maria della Salute. This spectacular church has been standing since the 1600s and offers visitors the chance to walk within its walls.

Best of all, a tour of the church is free. You only need to pay a small fee to explore the dome, art gallery, or scarcity. So consider it when visiting, as we promise you won't regret getting a close-up and personal look at its marble facade, statues, and famous paintings.
