Venice to Rome

train

Unless you're already at the Venice airport (as in, just landed there), the train makes much more sense. No security to go through, and the stations are right in town. The fastest train will get you to Rome Termini in under four hours. And you get much more room on the train, with pretty views for parts of the trip. Stretch out, get up whenever you want, meet nice people, etc. Second class on the fast trains (the Frecce trains) is fine for most people. Go to www.roninrome.com for good info on the Italian train system, including the difference between 1st and 2nd class. If you buy your tickets online ahead of time, this route can be as cheap as 29 euros. You would buy tickets from Venezia Santa Lucia to Roma Termini. www.trenitalia.com Happy travels.
