1. In short: By bicycle, plane, train or by bus from Rome to Venice?

Rome to Venice on the Bicycle

I know there are many adventurous readers on my site. And cyclists are really among them! Cycling from Rome to Venice is really doable. The fantastic route along the Adriatic sea. It is more than twenty-eight consecutive hours of cycling. Taking into account rest and sleep, it is approximately three days. But how cool!

If you ever consider that you can also walk the nice trip that seems fun to do, you have to walk for more than four days. And then without an intermediate stop. So take into account 8 to 10 days of walking. Rather beautiful!

I get totally excited!

But the fastest you are, of course, always by plane. A direct flight from Rome's "Fiumicino" airport to Venice takes over an hour. Alitalia planes fly to Venice multiple times throughout the day. Are you also wondering how much are the flight tickets from Rome to Venice? The airplane is the fastest route, you would say... Read my page; Flight tickets Rome Venice.

However, the train is a cheaper option. It takes 3 hours and 15 minutes at its fastest before arriving at Venezia Santa Lucia station. You must book this train in advance. Read everything about your best option with the Train from Rome to Venice.

Alternatively, a night bus can be an easy option. But then you are on the bus for about 8 hours.

2. How far is Rome to Venice?

About 400 kilometers. The high-speed train usually takes 3 hours and 55 minutes to travel. At some times, it is even 3 hours and 15 minutes. From "Roma Termini" station to "Venezia S. Lucia" station. You can book tickets from Rome to Venice with train for one day

A regular local train from Rome to Venice takes more than 9 hours. This train also leaves from Roma Termini to Venezia S. Lucia. You can see this nicely on the RailEurope.com website.

It will take you about five hours and fifty minutes by car. This is more than 526 km. This route is the fastest, but you can also take some adventurous ways and not just drive the E35. Please note that you still have to park your car somewhere in Venice. You cannot drive a car in Venice.

In one hour and 10 minutes, you often fly from Rome to Venice for just € 50. Planes fly to Venice daily from the airport in Rome. It's a short flight between Rome and Venice. The extra time it takes to travel to and from airports, check-in at the counter, get through security, and wait at your gate, makes the whole journey longer than the train.

It takes about an hour to get from Rome city center to one of the local airports. It is the same if you want to get from Marco Polo Airport or even Treviso Airport to Venice.

Another cheap option is if you take a bus. Traveling from Rome to Venice by bus is the most budget-friendly option, with prices starting at € 17 with RegioJet (RJ) if booked in advance. Tickets become more expensive as the travel date approaches - up to € 60 for a single journey - negating the price benefits of using the bus.

Direct bus routes from Rome take between six and eight hours and depart from Tiburtina station, with arrival options near Venice in Tronchetto or Mestre. Therefore, the arrival is outside Venice, and, consequently, you need an extra bus connection to get to Venice. You can get to Venice from the end stations by tram, train or taxi.

3. What is the cheapest and best route from Rome to Venice? 

Nighttrain Rome to Venice

In a nutshell, what is the best route and also the cheapest? I can only conclude that this is the train, mainly because of the speed, price, the environment, and the adventure;). 

Check out Rome2rio.com. I am a big fan of this website that clearly shows all routes to and from a particular place. 

Conclusion: While they are about 400 kilometers apart, there are several ways to get from one city to another. Since Venice is a car-free city, the fastest and easiest way to get there is by train. You arrive directly in Venice without having to charge extra. If you plan to travel by plane, bus, or car, you will need additional transport time and transfers to enter Venice.

And if you are in Rome you can book a one day ticket to Venice with the high speed train. Check it out >
