Again, I would like any information on this train trip. Any ideas would be appreciated. Bev Johnston
You're talking 400 miles with The Alps right in the middle. And there are no airports closeby with flights between the two. Vienna-Venice is another such tough itinerary by train, and there are no budget flights.
Sometimes there are places that are just very difficult to get to without renting a car. And even then, it'd be a tough drive cross country.
au contraire monsieur. There is an excellent connection between Vienna and Venice. http://www.orient-express.com/web/vsoe/search_results.jsp?station=Venice
