I`m not shure I understood what kind of <BR>trip you`re looking for. <BR>There is no airport in Lucerne. <BR>From Lucerne Railway Station you can take trains to Venice several times a day. It is a beutifull route over the Alpes. You`ll have to change trains 1 <BR>to 2 times. <BR>

I think it is at least a 6-7 hour trip each way by train.

The following excerpt is copied off of the SBB web site. The best connection I saw is as follows: Leave Luzern at 9:17 and arrive in Venice at the Mestre station at 4:43 in the afternoon. You make one change at Arth Goldau, which is just west of Luzern. The Reisedauer is German for the trip length: 7 and a half hours, about. <BR>The schedule is valid for July 4. <BR>The train runs every day. Verbindung is German for connection and taglich means daily. Verkehren means to run in in the context of a vehicle. <BR> <BR>Luzern Arth-Goldau 09:17 09:46 D2665 <BR>Arth-Goldau Venezia Mestre 09:52 16:43 IC 355 <BR>Gültig am: 4.07.99 <BR>Reisedauer: 07:26 <BR>Diese Verbindung verkehrt täglich. <BR>

Good afernon, Sam <BR>On possibility would be to take the train back to Kloten Zurich, about one <BR>hour, Crossair to Lugano, 55 mins, change planes and 35 mins to Venice. <BR>Have taken Zurich/Lugano/Venice a couple of times beats the hours on the <BR>train. Richard of Hickory Hills, Il... <BR>

Can you get from Luzern to Venice? Yes. Is there an excursion from Luzern to Venice? Not really. <BR>
