The most popular day trips by train from Venice are Padua, Murano, Verona, Burano and Treviso. Find out what you can do in these day trip destinations and how to book your train from Venice on Omio.
Padua is a historic university city in the Veneto, known for Giotto’s frescoes and the Basilica of Saint Anthony. Lively squares, arcaded streets and a scholarly atmosphere give it a thoughtful character.
Murano is best known for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition, which still defines the island’s character. Set in the Venetian Lagoon, it feels calmer than central Venice, with canals, workshops and churches shaping everyday life.
Verona is known for its Roman Arena and its association with Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Its compact historic centre blends medieval streets, piazzas and river views with a calm, cultured feel.
Burano is known for its brightly painted houses, lace-making tradition and canals lined with small boats. Smaller and quieter than central Venice, it has a relaxed island character shaped by fishing and local life.
Treviso is a compact Veneto city known for canals, medieval walls and elegant arcaded streets. Closely tied to Prosecco country, it also has a strong food identity shaped by radicchio and tiramisù.
The cities of Rome and Venice lie 530 kilometres apart and passengers can make the journey between them by air, train or bus. Direct flights from Rome to Mestre or Marco Polo airports take just 1 hour and 5 minutes. Also, high-speed trains cover the journey from the heart of Rome right to Santa Lucia station, on the Grand Canal, in under 4 hours. Travelling by bus, however, is inconvenient due to the lack of a national bus service.
