Routes
From Verona Porta Nuova to Venezia Santa Lucia/Venice S. L.
Journey Summary
1hr 10min (Frecce trains)
Daily
Tickets
Book early and save: Yes
Online bookings open: 4 months* ahead of the travel date - usually
*Not all trains may be available 4 months ahead, but all should be if you're booking 3 months ahead
Trains departing at different times can be cheaper than others leaving on the same day, so you may need to look through the day's departures to find the cheapest fares.
The EXPRESS train service between Verona and Venezia/Venice is provided by:
(1) these more frequent Frecce/EC trains
(2) less frequent, but generally cheaper Italo trains
If you're booking no more than 4 months ahead and have no particular preference for the train that you will be taking, the price and departure times of the Frecce and Italo trains can be directly compared on Trainline or Omio; though look out for the fact that both of these services will charge a booking fee.
Trenitalia does not sell tickets for the Italo trains - and Italo does not sell tickets for the Trenitalia trains.
---------------------------------------------------------
The alternative Regionale Veloce trains:
Think twice before taking these Frecce trains for this journey.
Yes they're more comfortable than the alternative Regionale Veloce (RGV/RV) trains and around 15 mins faster, but even the cheapest 'Super Economy' tickets for these Frecce trains are more than €6 more expensive than taking those RV trains
If you'll be booking at the station just before boarding, then you will save more than €10 by taking the Regionale Veloce trains.
Rail pass users should take the Regionale Veloce trains.
---------------------------------------------------------
Booklng to Veneza S.Lucia:
If you're heading from the historic heart of Venice/Venezia, then take care to select Venezia S. Lucia as arrival station.
If you will be using an agent check that they are making a booking to Venezia S. Lucia and NOT to Venezia Mestre station.
