How to Get from Venice City Center to Treviso Airport

The direct coach is the most popular and convenient way to reach Treviso Airport from Venice City Center. Services depart from Piazzale Roma (the main bus terminal in Venice) and arrive directly at the airport terminal. No transfers, no stress.

Direct Bus Overview

Operator	Duration	Price (one-way)	Frequency	First / Last Bus
ATVO atvo.it	50–60 min	€12 (≈ $13)	Every 30–60 min	~5:10 AM / ~9:30 PM
Barzi barzibus.it	55–65 min	€12 (≈ $13)	Every 40–90 min	~5:30 AM / ~10:00 PM

Key details: Tickets can be purchased online, at the ATVO ticket office in Piazzale Roma, or via the driver (with a small surcharge). Luggage is included, but no oversized items (surfboards, large musical instruments) without prior notice. Both operators offer free Wi-Fi and air conditioning on modern coaches.

Why choose the bus? It's the right balance of cost (€12), time (≈55 min), and simplicity. You sit down and arrive. No navigating train stations or waiting for shuttles.

If you're happy to do one quick transfer, the train + shuttle combo saves you about €6.30 compared to the direct bus. It's the most budget-friendly option and only marginally slower.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Train: From Venezia Santa Lucia (main station) or Venezia Mestre to Treviso Centrale. Regional trains run every 20–30 minutes. Duration: 30–40 minutes. Price: €3.50 (€3.80 if bought on board).
2. Shuttle: Outside Treviso Centrale station, take bus No. 6 (MOM operator) to Treviso Airport. Duration: 5–8 minutes. Price: €2.20 (buy at station tabacchi or ticket machine).
3. Walk alternative: It's a 15-minute walk (1.2 km) from the station to the terminal if you prefer to skip the shuttle.

Train + Shuttle vs. Direct Bus

Option	Total Time	Total Cost	Transfers
Train + Shuttle	40–55 min (train) + 5–10 min (shuttle) = 45–65 min	€5.70 (≈ $6.20)	1 (train → shuttle)
Direct Bus	50–60 min	€12 (≈ $13)	0

Train types: Regional (R) and Regional Veloce (RV) trains are the standard. No reservation needed. Trains have luggage racks and are stroller-friendly. Avoid Intercity or Frecciarossa trains as they skip Treviso or cost more.

Why choose the train? You save money and experience a comfortable Italian regional train ride. It's a great choice for solo travellers and couples with light luggage.

Fastest door-to-door option: 30–35 minutes from Venice City Center to Treviso Airport. A taxi from Piazzale Roma (or your hotel water taxi stop + land transfer) costs €65–€80 (≈ $71–$87). Fixed price is around €70 for the standard route.

When to choose a taxi

• Late-night / early-morning flights (before 5:30 AM or after 10:00 PM) — no buses run.
• Groups of 3–4 people — the per-person cost becomes comparable to the bus.
• Heavy luggage (more than 2 suitcases per person) or oversized items.
• Mobility issues — no stairs, no platform changes.
• Flight anxiety — you control the departure time.

Private transfer services like Welcome Pickups or Suntransfers offer fixed rates from €75 with meet-and-greet. These can be booked in advance and include flight tracking.

Note: Water taxis cannot take you directly to Treviso Airport. You must first reach Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto parking island by vaporetto or water taxi, then continue by road taxi.

🚆 Treviso Centrale Station – Know Your Exit

The station has two exits. For the shuttle bus No. 6, use the via Roma exit (south side). The bus stop is directly across the street. Do not use the via Pescatori exit or you'll add a 5-minute walk.

🧳 Luggage – Use Takkyubin (Baggage Dispatch)

If you're staying in Venice for a few days and flying out of Treviso, consider using Takkyubin (baggage delivery service). For about €20–€25, your luggage can be sent from your Venice hotel directly to Treviso Airport, arriving within 24 hours. This is ideal if you want to explore Venice unencumbered. Services are available at Venice Santa Lucia station luggage desk and major hotels. Check Venezia Unica for partner services.

⏰ Timing – Add Buffer for Peak Hours

If you're travelling between 7:00–9:00 AM or 4:00–7:00 PM, the road from Venice to Treviso can experience congestion, especially around Mestre. Add 15–20 minutes to bus and taxi times. Trains are not affected by road traffic.

📱 Booking – Always Book Online for Peace of Mind

For the direct bus, buy your ticket on the ATVO website or app. You'll get a QR code and can board without printing. For the train, use the Trenitalia app or Italo Treno (if applicable). Regional tickets are valid for 6 hours after validation — you can buy in advance.

🚕 Ride-Hailing Apps – Limited Availability

Uber is not widely available in the Venice region. Free Now (formerly mytaxi) works in Mestre but rarely in Venice proper. Stick to official taxi stands at Piazzale Roma or pre-booked private transfers.
