Frecciarossa trains are Trenitalia's flagship high-speed trains capable of reaching speeds of up to 186 mph (300 km/h).

There are four comfort classes, or "ambiances", as Italo like to call them – Smart (the cheapest price), Comfort (with wider seats and extra legroom), Prima (with a welcome selection of food and drink, fast track boarding and extra space), and Executive Club (with all Prima services, extra-wide seats, access to Italo Club lounges and personal entertainment screens at your seat).

Trenitalia is the national railway company of Italy, with a fleet including high-speed trains (Frecciarossa, Frecciargento and Frecciabianca), Intercity and Intercity night trains and regional trains. Trenitalia offers discounts and special promotions on selected routes, two types of discounted tickets for young people under 30 and people over 60.

Cheap train tickets from Rome to Venice

The price of train tickets from Rome to Venice starts at $15.36 one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Booking on the day is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or class.

Book in advance

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Rome to Venice by booking early.§

Be flexible with your travel times

Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.

Choose a slower or connecting train

On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!

Look out for special deals

Take a look at our handy guides to find out when train operators release their special deals and offers to see if you can find cheap European train tickets for your journey.

For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

§Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.

How to get from Venezia Santa Lucia station to central Venice

As soon as you’ve arrived, you can simply leave the station, as there are no security checks to go through. Once you’ve exited Santa Lucia station, you’ll want to start soaking up the city’s atmosphere as soon as possible.

If you want to reach the center of Venice quickly, the easiest way to get there is on foot. From Santa Lucia station, the renowned Rialto Bridge is a 20-minute walk, and the iconic St Mark’s Square is a 27-minute walk.

How to get from Venezia Mestre station to central Venice

Using public transport in Venice

Although Venice is a small city and can be visited on foot, you can still make use of the public transport available. Keep reading for more details.

Taking the bus in Venice

Even if tourists and locals don’t usually need to take a bus to get around the city center, they are sometimes necessary to get to other destinations. For example, if you’re traveling to Venice Airport, you can take bus line 5 from Piazzale Roma, which is only a few minutes away from Venezia Santa Lucia station.

As most of the public transport on the island of Venice is waterborne, urban buses are the least used means of transport.

Taking the water bus (or vaporetto) in Venice

Water buses, also known as vaporetti in Italian, replace the normal urban buses and are used to get around the heart of the city via its canals. The most useful water bus lines for tourists are the following:

  • Line 1: It slowly cruises the Grand Canal from the central bus station in Piazzale Roma to Venezia Lido. It stops at most landmarks down the Canal, including St Mark’s Square (or Piazza San Marco), Ca’Rezzonico or Rialto Bridge
  • Line 3: It connects Piazzale Roma with Murano
  • Line 7: It connects St Mark’s Square with Murano
  • Line 10: It’s the quickest way to get from St Mark’s Square to Lido
  • Line 18: It runs between Lido and Murano.

Traveling from central Venice to the airport

If you’re traveling back home after your trip to Venice, you’ll probably depart from Venice Marco Polo Airport. Want to know how to get from the city center to the airport? Keep reading for more details.

Buses to Venice Airport

The bus is one of the quickest ways to get to the airport from the city center. From Piazzale Roma, you can take bus line 5 to Venice’s Marco Polo Airport. On the way, the bus makes various stops, so the journey can take from 30 to 45 minutes. A one-way ticket costs €8 ($8.69 in August 2023).

However, for the same price, you can take the ATVO bus, which is slightly faster. Running from Piazzale Roma, ATVO’s blue buses only make two stops, meaning you’ll arrive at the airport in just 20 minutes. Approximately, the buses run every 30 minutes and also cost €8 ($8.69 in August 2023).

Water buses to Venice Airport

Alternatively, you can take one of Alilaguna’s water buses – they run all day from very early in the morning until late at night and connect St Mark’s Square with the airport.

Each journey on the water bus costs €15 ($16.29 in August 2023). The Alilaguna water bus network is comprised of six different lines, but only three lines will take you to the airport:

  • Blue line: connects the Venice Cruise Terminal and the Airport.
  • Orange line: runs from Piazza San Marco to Marco Polo Airport.
  • Red line: connects Lido to Marco Polo Airport (it only runs from April until October).

Tips and tricks from our Trainline team

We love helping our customers find inspiration for their next train journey. Discover some travel stories written based on our employees' experiences.

Traveling by train from Rome to Venice

The first time I traveled from Rome to Venice by train, I couldn’t believe how quickly we arrived. In less than 3 and a half hours, I had already arrived in Venice! By car, the journey would have taken at least 2 hours more. But as we were traveling on train tracks, I avoided all the traffic.

Thanks to the high-speed trains of Frecciarossa and Italo, which travel at around 186mph, I saved precious time on my journey from Rome to Venice.

Previously, I've never known whether it was better to travel with Italo or Frecciarossa. However, these days I compare timetables and ticket prices for both train companies for my chosen travel day. Now, I travel with confidence knowing that I am not only traveling on the date and time most convenient for me, but I'm also finding my train ticket at the best price.
