The route from Milan to Venice is perhaps the most common in Italy. This is due to the fact that the popular city Although Venice has an airport, it is rather small. It has much less passenger traffic than the number of tourists visiting the city of romance. The nearest airports are Milan Malpensa, Milan Bergamo and Milan Linate. Buying tickets to this city is not a problem.

The distance between cities is 260 km. The options for getting from Milan to any point in Venice are as follows: train, bus, car, etc. In this article, we will take a closer look at the most popular ways to do this, buy a ticket and see local beauties.

high speed train

The number of railway passengers in this direction during the high season is hard to imagine. Of course, the tragedy will not happen if you do not buy a ticket in advance.

It is possible to find flights with transfers, but the ticket will cost more than the cost of a 1st class ticket on a railway train. The road with a transfer will take longer than a train or bus. Comparing the ticket prices and the time spent, you come to the conclusion that the train is almost an ideal transport between cities.

Traveling by bus can help those who want to see additional cities along the way. The long road practically does not leave time for walks and excursions. It is better to break the trip into parts and get to Venice, stopping in the cities along the way.

How to get to Venice by car

Traveling from Milan to Venice (or Venice Milan) by car can be an adventure. Pleasant or not depends on driving skill. Milan is characterized by many cars. This gives rise to many problems: it is impossible to park, traffic congestion can only be a nightmare, and only meditation masters can overcome an unregulated intersection...

➔ Having a chance to buy tickets and travel by train - take advantage of it. Especially considering that you can't drive in Venice by car.

Having a full reserve of determination to reach Venice by car and your starting point is Milan, the first thing you need to find is good map. Michelin maps are well organized. Using them is very easy to find the best route in Italy.

Roads with the designation "A" are the largest in the country and usually have to pay to travel on them. So include this in your travel budget. The route between Milan and Venice, for the most part, passes along the A4 road called "Autoroute Padua - Venice".

After passing Padua, start following the signs and look for signs to Venice. You need the E70 road and then the SR11. The latter is the highway that connects the peninsula with the islands of Venice. Before reaching the city, you will need to cross the only bridge into the city in this direction. It is used by trains, buses, freight transport and cars. It is not difficult to guess that this place "lures" traffic jams. The railway train on this section of the road will have a higher priority than motor vehicles.

In Venice, you can park your car in the only place - in Piazzale Roma. The area is located opposite the railway station, at the bus stop Grand Cana. Here you need to leave your car for the duration of your stay in the city. There are few free spaces in the parking lot. If you are planning a long stay on the Lido island, then you can transport the car there on a cargo ferry.

If you are planning a long stay in Venice, it is convenient to purchase tickets for city boats at the box office. The price for one trip on such a boat is 7 euros. If you transfer to another boat, you need to buy a ticket again.

Distance between Milan and Venice - 273 km, and you can overcome them in different ways: by train, bus or car. Each option has nuances, which we will understand today.

Railway

Most tourists think that train is the best way drive from Milan to Venice.

Bus tours along this route are in high demand. and offered by various companies. One-day tours can vary greatly in cost, but the average is around 180 euros. Experienced Tourists They assure that by paying more, you will not get increased comfort or a richer program.

Here is one of the proposals of the group bus tour from Milan to Venice:

For the price, you can only judge the level of the institution where you will have to dine in Venice and the ambitions of the organizing company. Otherwise, all trips follow approximately the same pattern.

Travel time is about three hours each way.
The net time spent in Venice is about 4-5 hours.
The program sometimes includes the opportunity to take a gondola ride (40 minutes, and an additional about 100 euros), and the cost of this ride may or may not be included in the price of the tour (more often it is not included), you should ask the organizer about this in advance.

Usually "organized" tourists also visit Rialto bridge. But due to lack of time, the program does not include many attractions that are far away to go, for example,.

In the allotted free time, you can have lunch and do light shopping. You can only buy small souvenirs. There is little time for serious shopping, besides, guides usually “unload” their wards to the nearest, and not to the most interesting or cheapest stores.

If such a vacation suits you, and self-orientation in unfamiliar city makes it difficult, a tour is a good option.

Eugene, 45 years old, Kazan:

“We went to Italy with teenage children, 15 and 12 years old. Them organized excursion I liked it, apparently, these are the features of the perception of the new generation. I'm not thrilled. I'd rather wander on my own."

car trip

Car rental prices in Italy can vary greatly., so don't accept the first offer you find. There are special sites that will allow you to compare options and choose the best one. Among them are both English and Russian speakers.

Nearly all the way by car will run along the A4 motorway. But, if you decide to go by car, and it is without a navigator, you it's best to buy a card highways . On such cards, A4 may have the name Autostrada Padova Venezia.

The quality of the route is excellent, however, the passage is paid. Tariff for cars for 2017 on the A4 autobahn - 43.8 euros. The final amount will depend on the distance (total motorway length 530 km; 43.8/530=0.08 euros per 1 km).

You will also have to add 22% VAT to the amount.

The easiest way is to pay for the road in cash. In this case, you need to enter the autobahn through the gate with the inscription biglietto. In addition to them, there are also gates with marks corresponding to a particular payment system. Pay close attention to the labels. Entering through the gates of the payment system, the payment instrument (card) of which you do not have on hand, can have unpleasant consequences:

You will be delayed by a traffic officer and you will lose time.
While you are investigating the situation, a line of dissatisfied drivers will accumulate.
There is a chance to “slip through”, but on subsequent checks, such a “feint” is subject to a fine of about 70 euros.

You can get a ticket through a special machine or "manually" from a traffic officer. It is important to keep the payment document until the end of the trip.

Vitaly, 34 years old, Murmansk:

“When traveling by car, knowledge of the language and diplomacy saved me. Due to ignorance, I entered the autobahn through the gates of the Italian payment system, without a card, I had to apologize, reassure those who stood in line behind me and had to wait until the road official explained everything to me.

There are also pluses. If you wish, you can stop on the road and inspect any object on your own. The machine gives freedom regarding the organization and planning of excursions. But again, it's a limitation. You can move around the City of Canals mainly only by water transport(for example, by water bus for about 4-5 euros per hour). At the same time, the car will have to be parked in the only public parking in Venice (due to the unpopularity of land transport) - on Piazzale Roma. If the trip falls on the holiday season, there is a risk of wasting time and nerves in the parking lot due to the large number of people.

Maria Bakhtiyarova

Subjectively for me, Venice is much more interesting than Milan, however, I am sure that not everyone shares this point of view. But in any case, Venice and Milan are not so far apart that it would be impossible to combine a visit to both cities within one trip. That is why BlogoItaliano decided to pay special attention to how to get from Milan to Venice and back.

A few years ago I was able to go from Venice to Milan and come back in one day. So it's quite real. To be honest, at that time I was not even going to Milan - I was interested in seeing Florence, but mine arrived at the station in Venice too late.

In order not to go back "not salty slurping", I looked at the schedule of trains departing in the near future, and pulled to Milan. So, it's quite real. The only question is how ready you are for adventure.
