To uncover which is best for your needs and preferences, continue reading our comprehensive Zermatt to Venice travel guide.

Venice's strategic location along the Adriatic Sea allowed it to flourish as a port city, trading goods between Europe and the Arabic world. Eventually, it formed an empire stretching from northern Italy, along the Balkans, and down to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus from the 8th to almost the 19th century.

The Golden Age of Venice

Like most of Italy, the Renaissance was Venice's golden age. Its continued success along trade routes exchanging silk, spices, wines, and precious metals funded the construction of Europe's most elegant building even today.

Its style and sophistication attracted royalty, wealthy aristocrats, and world-renowned artists. Architects designed masterpieces such as Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Cathedral, and the Rialto Bridge, while Titian, Giovanni Bellini, and even Leonardo de Vinci assembled the world's most impressive art scene. From the 14th to the 17th centuries, Venice was the world's cultural capital.

Modern Venice

Today, nothing feels “modern” about Venice. Around 435 bridges link the 121 islands of its historical quarters, carved open by picturesque canals. Exquisite Renaissance and Byzantine-style buildings cluster together to create a labyrinth of walkways housing anything from traditional Venetian mask painting stores to rainbow-colored Venetian glasswork shops from the nearby island of Murano.

You can feel the city's financial and cultural wealth, especially when bobbling on the island's main artery, the Grand Canal. However, Venice also has a laidback and carefree spirit. Endless bacaris lining the maze of streets create a buzzing atmosphere where locals and tourists gather to indulge in a refreshing Aperol spritz and mouth-watering cicchetti!

Book tickets in advance

There isn't a vast transportation network from Zermatt to Venice due to the distance and mountainous terrain sandwiched between the cities. Therefore, seats are limited, and if you want the best deals, you must book at least 30 days in advance.

You should also book museums, tours, and other attractions in Venice before arriving in town. Spaces for in-demand sights sell out during the summer. Book your free 15 minutes at the T Fondaco Rooftop Terrace today as tourists pack out this sought-after lookout spot months in advance!

Be smart when packing

The most vital tip when traveling from Zermatt to Venice is to pack light!

Firstly, you'll likely take an indirect service between the cities. So you'll need to hurdle bags in and out of carriages. But the main problem arises when you arrive in Venice. Dragging a 20-kg suitcase in crowded lanes, over cobbled paths, and across footbridges will instantly dampen your first impressions of Venice.

It's also an extensive 219-mile (352-km) voyage. So, even if you plan to stop en route, remember to pack snacks, entertainment outlets, and plenty of water.

Although one daily service requiring only one change is available, you'll likely swap carriages twice. You'll travel with Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn, Trenitalia, and, depending on your selected route, possibly Italo Treno.

To travel by train, you'll board a service from Zermatt HBF to Brig HBF before swapping carriages. From Brig, you'll transfer to Milan Central Station and arrive at Venezia Santa Lucia Station around 2.5 hours later.

Cross the Rialto Bridge and visit the Rialto Market

To reach the Rialto Market, you first must cross the beautiful Rialto Bridge. Believe it or not, this was the only one to span the Grand Canal for over 1,000 years. Remember to stop to admire the mesmerizing views looking down the canal, flanked by colorful buildings!

When you reach the other side, you'll arrive at souvenir stalls where you can pick up some famous Murano glass as a gift or memory. Continue walking to uncover the local market that has been here since 1067. Here, you can sample the fresh flavors and see why Venetian cuisine is a cut above the rest. Or you can gather some products and enjoy a picnic in a nearby park.

Unwind in Parco delle Rimembranze

Once you've grabbed some local produce, it's time to wander the tranquil streets of the Castello district and make your way to Parco delle Rimembranze. Although you're still blessed with scenic surroundings, the open green space with a fresh sea breeze makes you feel out of reach from Venice's narrow lanes.

The vibrant greenery, the smell of the pine trees, and the noise of water splashing against the shores turn the area into an urban oasis. Many tourists overlook this setting, so you'll have enough space to relax. This is ideal if you need to recharge while traveling as a family.

Experience a gondola ride

Gondolas were the primary mode of transport in Venice for around eight centuries. Now, they're a symbol of tourism, and no trip to the city is complete without embarking on a romantic voyage.

As you glide along the narrow waterways, you'll pass by historic buildings and under quaint bridges while witnessing the hidden gems of Venice that are only accessible by water. Gondoliers often share fascinating tales and sing traditional songs, adding to the enchanting ambiance.
