After you've explored the attractions along your route, your private driver will drop you off in Venice at one of the locations near the city and its hotels since it's not a car-friendly city. We'll also help you with your luggage, so don't worry about being stranded with your bags! So book now and get ready to explore the unique charm of Venice with its small islands, picture-perfect canals, immersive culture, historical landmarks, and artistic flair.

Like many other European cities, Venice's history stretches back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period, with the Republic of Venice reigning from 697 AD until 1797 AD. During this time—from the 13th century until the end of the 17th century—the city was also a significant trade center, with the hottest commodities being grain, silk, spice, and art.

As a trading center, it became a rich city, allowing it to build ornate buildings, palaces, churches, and homes throughout the city seen today. When visiting, you'll take in many of the spectacular buildings characterized by their flourishing Gothic, Byzantine, Baroque, and Renaissance buildings. Some of the best examples of buildings constructed in these styles include Doges Palace and the Basilica di San Marco, which decorate the main square in Venice.

If you're an artist or someone who loves art, you'll also love that the city is celebrated for housing some of the greatest art pieces in history. You'll find artwork by the greats like Tintoretto, Titian, and Veronese throughout the city's galleries and museums. In addition, if modern art is more your style, Venice will not disappoint. One of the best places to explore if you're interested in art is the Venice Biennale, a cultural exhibition showcasing contemporary art and architecture.

Besides the beautiful architecture, art, and music, the city is also worth exploring if you're a foodie at heart. With hundreds of cafes around nearly every corner, you're bound to find a few meals you'll enjoy. Not to mention, the nightlife in Venice is unsurpassed, so we encourage you to explore the clubs and bars.

Keep your valuables close

Although most of Italy, including Verona and Venice, is safe, this doesn't mean crime isn't happening. That's why keeping your valuables close is incredibly important when you stop and sightsee along the way and when you arrive in Venice.

If you're planning to use public transportation, be wary of others as pickpocketing crimes have increased, especially at train and bus stations and on the boats themselves, especially if you take a water taxi to get to your accommodation once in Venice.

We recommend using a private car service to avoid the hassle of contending with crime during your journey from Verona to Venice. With Daytrip, your professional driver can be trusted to keep you safe and their hands to themselves.

Wear the gloves provided when in a supermarket

Few people realize this before traveling, but much of Italy requires shoppers to wear gloves when shopping in the fruit and vegetable section. So, if you decide to do some shopping at one of the local supermarkets along the way, keep this in mind.

Often, the supermarket provides disposable gloves for you to wear when selecting your fruits and vegetables. However, you'll also need to weigh them yourself with the store's scale machine, which gives stickers with the prices.

Book everything in advance

When we say book everything in advance, we mean everything. The last thing you want to experience is a sold-out attraction, restaurant, or accommodation during your travels from Verona to Venice. So, if possible, plan and book transportation, hotels, and dining experiences in advance online or by phoning the establishments.

From Verona to Venice by train

A train trip from Verona to Venice is one of the most popular travel choices because it is reliable, fast, and affordable. The route between these two cities is about 75 miles (105 km), so the trip takes about an hour by train.

Ticket prices start at $9.85 (€9), and you must book to leave from the Verona Porta Nuova train station and arrive at the Venezia Santa Lucia station in Venice. When booking, you can choose between three train lines: the regional, fast regional, or high-speed train. At least two trains leave every hour, so you'll likely find a booking for when you want to travel.

From Verona to Venice by bus

Those traveling solo and on a tight budget should consider booking a bus from Verona to Venice. Itabus and Flixbus are the two train lines that offer services between these two cities, with most trips taking between one hour and 45 minutes and two hours and 10 minutes. Yet, the length of the trip will depend on the bus you have chosen and whether or not there are planned transfers and stopovers.

If you do choose to travel by bus, tickets cost about $8.75 to $13 (€8-€12). Although this is relatively inexpensive, you should expect it to be less comfortable than a train, flight, or private car service, and there will be fewer amenities on board.

From Verona to Venice by flight

Although flying from Verona to Venice can be difficult, flights are available with a few airlines, such as British Airlines, Dolomiti, and Lufthansa. However, it's important to note that flight prices can be high, and the journey can take anywhere from 2 and a half hours if you're lucky enough to get a direct flight to more than 20 hours if you are on a flight that will encounter transfers and stopovers.

In addition, price-wise, it's often not worth it since tickets can cost upwards of $700 (€641). So, if you're planning to fly, consider other forms of transportation first to avoid the hassles associated with flights between these two cities.

From Verona to Venice by private car service Daytrip

One of the fastest, most comfortable, and exciting ways to travel from Verona to Venice is by private car transfer service Daytrip. If you travel directly, driving between the two cities only takes an hour and 15 minutes. You also have the option of stopping along the way, which can add time to your trip, but it's often worth it considering the many wonderful attractions along the way.

Although Daytrip might be more expensive than a train or bus trip, with prices starting at $52 (€48), you get access to a private local English-speaking driver who will share his local knowledge and handle your luggage. You'll also get to set when you're fetched so that your transportation timeline fits into your itinerary plans.

The Grand Canal

You'll find it difficult to visit Venice and not see the Grand Canal, which can be likened to the city's main street, considering it's a city built on water. A trip along Venice's Grand Canal in a gondola is a leisurely trip of a lifetime since it's a feast of the senses.

When you wander along the Grand Canal, you'll see many of Venice's ancient neighborhoods while passing underneath the legendary Rialto Bridge. You'll also catch the smells in the air from the local markets and talk with your Gondola operator.

The Bridge of Sighs

The Bridge of Sighs has a somewhat macabre history, considering that this 17th-century white limestone bridge used to be the way prisoners traveled between the prison and interrogation rooms at Doges Palace. Yet, it's still worth walking across since this bridge spans the Rio di Palazzo canal and is easily one of the most famous bridges in the city.

Campo Santa Maria Formosa

If you're in the mood to grab lunch in Venice, you'll want to visit Campo Santa Maria Formosa, which is a charming small square tucked away from the often crowded Piazzas of Venice. This square is home to a handful of cafes selling delicious local cuisine, local shops, and a few market stalls. So visit and enjoy a meal while you bask in the reprieve of bustling crowds moving from one attraction to the next.

Rialto Fish Market (Mercato di Rialto)

If you want an authentic glimpse into Venice, you should consider visiting the Rialto Fish Market. This market has been a constant presence in Venice since its founding in 1152. When visiting, you can purchase fresh fish, seafood, fruit, and vegetables alongside local items you can take home as souvenirs.

If you plan on visiting during the peak season of July and August, be prepared for crowded attractions, streets, and hot, muggy weather. You should also be prepared for mosquitos, so be sure to bring along your bug repellent.

Another time to consider visiting Venice is from October to late February. This is when the city is at its quietest—and often cheapest—so you can expect deals on accommodation. Just be prepared for colder rainy weather during these months.
