Is everyone ready? Let’s get to our post of the day: the best round trips from Venice. Here at Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patricia you make the trip of your dreams !!! ALSO: see our “Accommodation in Italy – Tips for your holidays!”
Introduction
Venice is a magical city par excellence! Famous all over the world for its canals and splendid St Mark Square, Venice is the type of city that makes us fall in love at the same moment we step into its territory. In the Veneto region, Venice is an excellent city for those who want to get to know art, culture, architecture and history in one trip, but because it is a small city, it doesn’t require so much time to visit it, although it invites its visitor to look it with affection, calm and time.
Super Tips
- If you are going to Venice and will choose Venice as your base city, avoid heavy and very large suitcases! It can become a nightmare to walk across the bridges – especially the narrowest ones – with this type of suitcase! Whenever you think about going to Venice, remember to travel “light”, O.K?

Base City
If you decide to choose Venice as your base city and would like to visit other Italian locations, know that it is possible and very simple! Today we bring you some options for round trip, departing from Venice. Of course, there are countless options and we could make a huge list with all of them, however, we will (try) to keep the list as short as possible, including cities that, in fact, are unmissable for anyone in Venice. Shall we see our options? Read also where to stay in Venice?
Good to know
- Whenever you think about taking a round trip, consider the following: the ideal round trip is one that, considering the round-trip times – combined – are less than a maximum of 4 hours (two to go and two to return). Trips with travel time greater than 4 hours end up not being worthwhile, because in addition to counting the travel time, you may have little time in the destination city and need to do everything in a hurry, which I do not advise.
- The trains that operate the mentioned sections are from Trenitalia and Ítalo and you can get tickets online and even get good discounts.

Don’t want to stay on the island? No problems! Search for Mestre, Campalto or Favaro Veneto, which are the mainland cities of Venice and offer excellent accommodation options. A little further from Piazzale Roma, about 20 minutes by water transport, they do not have magnificent views from the bedroom windows, but it is ideal for those who want to save on accommodation.
Tips
- The tip to save A LOT is to book your hotel in advance.
- As we also mentioned: beware of excess baggage! It is very complicated to get around with large volumes in Venice because of the bridges, stairs and narrow streets.
