How to get from Milan to Venice

The distance from Milan to Venice is 269 km, and the road will take you about 3-4 hours, depending on the means of transportation.

The most comfortable way is the train, if you want to get cheap from Milan to Venice, then choose a bus and buy tickets in advance, and if you want to see the cities along the way or call Lake Garda, rent a car.

Let's take a closer look at all the options:

By train

From Milan to Venice, high-speed and regional trains run Trenitalia, as well as ItaloTreno.

ItaloTreno

Since March 2019, my favorite ItaloTreno high-speed trains run to Venice from Milan every 2 hours! The first train leaves at 06:34 and arrives in Venice at 08:34. I would advise you to leave at 11:34 and check into the hotel after 14:00, which is convenient if you plan to spend several days in Venice.

You can catch a LowCost fare in advance for only 9.90 euros or go to business class (Prima) for 18.90 euros.

Watch a detailed video instruction on how we got to Venice from Milan in first class for 50 euros:

Trenitalia

Frecce high-speed trains leave for Venice from Milano Centrale station from 06:45 a.m. In Venice arrive at the central station Venezia Santa Lucia. Tickets cost from 34.9 euros. Travel time 2 hours 25 minutes - this is the fastest and most comfortable way to get there.

If you take care of tickets for several months, you can save significantly and find cheap options for only 14.90 euros.

If tickets for the high-speed train are no longer on sale or there are options that you can’t afford, then you can get to Milan from Venice by regional trains, however, you will have to change trains in Verona. If the train from Milan is delayed, then you can leave the next train. Such a trip will take at least 3.5 hours. The cost of tickets is constant - 20.70 euros, there are no discounts.

If you are planning a trip from Milan to Venice for just one day, it will be optimal to leave Milan at 07:45, in Venice you will be at 09:40. You can leave back at 18:20, 19:20 or at 19:50.

  • In order to spend the day in Venice as efficiently and effectively as possible, I advise you to book individual author tours in advance.

Buying property in Italy: what for what?

Buying a property in Italy is not only a profitable investment, but also your “pass ticket” to Europe.
