Is it Possible to do Venice as a day trip from Rome?

GAC

Read my posting today (10:35 a.m.): Venice to Rome (or reverse) for 15 or 30 Euros. You're looking at an absolute minimum 9 hours on the train, round trip. By air, considering the expense and all the time wasted getting to and from both airports, you're looking at a mimimum of six hours commute. I think that the answer to your question is pretty obvious.

Eloise

Possible, barely. Reasonable, no.

The fastest train is 4 1/2 hours or 9 hours return.

And I just see GAC's comment on 6 hours return by air.

I'd forget the idea.

Hi kyle,

It is possible but not recommended.

In addition to all of the time going to and fro, you will be crammed in with all the daytrippers.

Venice should be at least an overnight.

Kyle - The only way to do it and give yourself a full day in Venice would probably be to travel one way (- or both) overnight by train.

DO NOT do Venice as a side trip. This is one of the grandest cities in the world. It merits at least three days, but five would be better.

See Venice in all its glory before it sinks. There is no place like it. Don't cheat yourself.
