Venice Travel Tips

When it comes time to set sail from Venice, consider allowing some time to visit other cities in the region. Trieste, Padua and Verona are short distances by train. Some budget travelers prefer the less expensive rooms and meals available in these cities. In the case of a visit to Padua (Padova), you can connect by train dozens of times a day in as little as 30 minutes travel time and for €8 ($10.25 USD) or less. Milan is about three hours by train; Lake Como is roughly four hours; to the south, Florence is as little as two hours away and a second-class fare sometimes comes in under $40. Be aware that faster trains on these routes could cost more money. Strongly consider second-class fares and remember that there are bus routes that sometimes prove more convenient and frugal than the trains.
