Along the way, you can spend your time visiting magnificent places.

You can even visit the Lamborghini Museum, which shines a light on the brand's history, or spend an afternoon immersed in lively culture in Ferrara, Europe's first modern city.

No matter where your sightseeing stops take you, you can look forward to Venice being on the horizon. Our professional English-speaking drivers will get you where you need to be so that you can begin your Venetian adventure. Prepare for inspirational artwork, literary masterpieces, stunning scenery, gorgeous historic architecture, and delicious bites.

From its humble beginnings, Venice became one of Europe's most powerful states, ruling swaths of Italy as a mighty maritime republic. This combination of beauty and wealth earned it the nickname "the Serenissima" because it was the most serene place to live for more than ten centuries.

For many, Venice is best known for its canals, beauty, art, and architecture, but it offers far more than simply splendor. It also provides visitors with a glimpse into the past and what the world was like when many of the past's musicians, painters, sculptures, and architects laid the foundation for the future. Nowadays, their legacy has left much to be explored.

From towering churches and Renaissance-styled buildings to gondola rides, museums filled with antiquities, and libraries that one can get lost in, you'll enjoy your visit no matter what you decide to do.

No direct trains from the airports to Venice

Treviso Antonio Canova Airport and Venice Marco Polo Airport are the closest airports to Venice. Both are miles away from the city, and it takes between 20 and 40 minutes to travel from and to Venice. Unfortunately, there are also no direct trains from these airports to Venice, which is why many people choose to travel with a private car service like Daytrip. There is less stress and travel-related hassle.

Book everything in advance

Since Venice is one of the most popular cities in the world, it's unsurprising that there are not many free or inexpensive things to do there. However, if you book transport passes and sightseeing stops in advance, you can save money and get to see and do more outside and within Venice.

And even if you're not saving money, you should get skip-the-line tickets for the attractions you plan to visit in Venice. On some days there are 10s of thousands of visitors trying to get into St. Mark's Basilica, and you don't want to be stuck waiting in that line.

From Vernazza to Venice by bus

Itabus, Flixbus, and Azienda Trasporti Consortile are bus lines that offer multiple trips daily from Vernazza to Venice. Tickets tend to cost between $34 and $63, which is somewhat pricey for a bus trip. And considering the average trip length is just under eight hours, you might want to skip this if you get stir-crazy. It's also worth noting that tickets sell out fast since both destinations in Italy are popular getaway cities.

From Vernazza to Venice by train

When traveling from Vernazza to Venice, you have a day train and a night train option.

Those who want to get to Venice from Vernazza as early as possible often book a night train, but this option often also involves taking a bus part of the way. It is less expensive than a traditional train, but the trip length is longer, about nine hours one way.

The day trains are usually between $59 and $237 one way, and the night trains are $41 to $70. Regardless of whether you take a day or night train, you'll encounter two to three transfers, with the first part of your trip undertaken with Trenitalia and the rest of the journey with ItaloTreno. You also have the option of taking a train and then a flight from Florence or Genoa to Venice, but this is at least 7 hours.

From Vernazza to Venice by private car transfer service

Daytrip's door-to-door car service is by far the best way to travel from Vernazza to Venice. A private car ride with a professional driver will not only be the fastest way to travel—a trip only takes about four hours and 30 minutes—but you can also enjoy sightseeing stops without navigating foreign roads.

Seats start at 139 euros, meaning it's basically the same hourly rate as that grueling bus ride. And you're guaranteed a safe, exciting, reliable, and comfortable trip from start to finish. In fact, you won't even need to worry about handling your own luggage. Nice right?

Peggy Guggenheim Collection

While most people are busy reminiscing about Venice's illustrious past, Peggy Guggenheim created her own collection focusing on Venice's contemporary art scene.

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is housed in her single-story modernist-look palazzo on the Grand Canal and houses some of the world's greatest contemporary art pieces. The palazzo has been turned into a museum that you can tour to see artwork by Dalli, Picasso, Pollock, and more.

Torcello

Torcello was where Venice began before Venetians decided to settle around Rialto. It's a semi-deserted island that you can visit, which is found across the water from Burano. Although Torcello used to be a thriving port, it is now only visited for its famous Locando Ciprianii restaurant and the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta. After enjoying a tasty meal at the restaurant, you can tour the 7th-century Basilica and admire the dramatic mosaic work on its walls.

Museo del Vetro

It might not sound like an entertaining way to spend your time, but we promise visiting the Museo del Vetro, otherwise known as the Museum of Glass, is one of the best places to visit in Venice. This museum not only tells the history of glassmaking, highlighting its Middle Eastern origins and influence on Roman and medieval Venetian trade but also shows examples of some of the best glasswork ever created, from elaborate Renaissance tableware to pre-Roman vases.

However, if you want to enjoy warm weather, visiting Venice from late spring to early summer is best. The crowds might be larger and the prices higher, but it's nowhere close to the summer masses.
