amsterdam to rome and venice
we are planning to fly to amsterdam to see friends for a day or two, then travel to rome and venice, possibly returning to amsterdam to fly home. What is the best way to travel between these cities -- train or fly?
|
Because of the long distances for the cities you mention, I would fly. Can't you book an open jaw plane ticket (into Amsterdam and out of Rome) to avoid returning all the way to A'dam?
|
Does KLM fly out of your city?
KLM flights from the US to Rome stop in Amsterdam and you can get a free stopover in Amsterdam both coming and going to Rome. |

Hi Familiar and helpful Fodorites...I am having trouble with my Amsterdam to Venice connection. The only cheap airline that I found (Translavia, or something like that..) doesn't fly on the day I need it to, and they fly only to Treviso as it is. I checked the www.etn.com site which features cheap European airlines, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!
|
Transavia is fine (I've flown them for MAD-AMS), but if they don't fly on the date you want, that's not much help.
Transavia does have flights to/from Pisa, which is more or less between Rome and Venice. Maybe you can adjust your itinerary a bit. Also, Virgin Express has some Italian flights from Brussels, which is not so far from Amsterday by train. |
Thanks WT, Upon further inspection I did notice that although the Transavia site posted dates well into 2006, when I pulled up May 2006 it went back to March 2006 for the AMS date. So, maybe they just aren't posting that far into the future. I'll cross my fingers.
In a perfect world I could find a cheap flight straight to Venice (Marco Polo?), but we'll see. I don't know any airlines that offer deals on that route. |
bardo1 had a good suggestion. Fly Northwest/KLM to Venice with a 2 day stopover in Amsterdam. Then fly home from Rome. Or AMS to Rome, the fly home from Venice.
Does Northwest fly to Amsterdam from your airport? I know KLM flies from AMS to Venice (Marco Polo). |
Thanks, but I already have a RT from SFO to CDG on my miles. I am taking a train from Paris to Amsterdam. I am hoping that Transavia will issue it's new schedule by the new year, and many airlines have deals later on. I'll hang in there.

Okay,
I booked Transavia, Amsterdam-Treviso. It was only $100 for each and that was WAY cheaper than anything , and certainly WAY WAY cheaper than flying to Marco Polo, even with the cost of transportation into Venice, I am sure. So please, I need guidance from stepping off the plane at Treviso (two of us) and getting to La Calcina in Venice. Thanks!!!!!!! |
Treviso is a piece of cake, some prefer it to Marco Polo, no water to contend with...

Thanks! HUGE help!! Now, which water bus do I take to get to La Calcina? I love being prepared...although I am used to sudden last minute changes too!!
|
Check the calcina website and click on location, it's all there - bus, taxi, vaporetto

Thank you! And Happy New Year!!
