FrÄgor och svar om att resa frÄn Zurich till Venice
What is the fastest way to get from Zurich to Venice?
Be in Venice in six hours when driving a car or hiring a driver. This route is tricky to navigate by train and car due to the Alps, but flights require traveling to the citiesâ outskirts and enduring the pre-flight check-in and security.
What is the easiest way to get from Zurich to Venice?
For the ease of door-to-door service and no stress about missing your train or flight departure, hire a private driver for the journey. Do your vacation on your schedule and have all the convenience of a rental car with none of the responsibilities.
Is the train ride from Zurich to Venice scenic?
Switzerland and northern Italy have stunning landscapes, but the grand beauty of the Alps is also a logistical challenge. Trains cannot traverse giant mountain ranges, so expect lots of tunnels during this trip, but your scenic view above ground promises to be worth it.
How much does Veniceâs tourism tax cost?
If you do not have accommodation booked in Venice, you may have to pay a $5.40 (âŹ5) tourism tax to help fund the environmental protection of Venice. It was implemented to offset the impact of cruise ship guests and daytrippers, but if you show your hotel booking you are exempt.
Is Venice sinking?
Yes, but scientists are on the case! Veniceâs muddy foundation has compacted over time, and it is also particularly susceptible to rising oceans and more severe storms. Levees and dams are being installed to protect this architectural wonder from the unrelenting sea.
How long is the train from Switzerland to Venice, Italy?
Direct trains from Zurich to Venice take approximately seven to eight hours. Switzerland and northern Italy have robust railroad networks and some high-speed rail options. Trains are modern with wifi, meal cars, comfortable seats, bike racks, luggage storage, and closed cabins for more privacy.

From your hotel in Zurich, the only thing standing between you and Venice is the Alps, the highest mountain range in Europe. Thatâs no problem for your Daytrip driver, though. They are professional drivers local to the area who know the mountainous roads and tunnels from Zurich to Venice very well.
The drive involves five hours and 50 minutes of driving across some of the most beautiful stretches of Europe. Take panoramic photos at Mount Rigi or visit Brescia Castle, all without relying on a regional bus schedule.
Arriving in Venice by car is tricky for foreigners, but not for your local driver. They will drop you off as close to your hotel as possible, given Veniceâs lack of roads. You wonât be worrying about how to return a rental car or how safe the massive parking garages are on the edge of the islands. Venice will be yours to explore as soon as the transfer is over!
About Venice
Venica has baffled engineers and anthropologists for centuries. It is among the worldâs most-visited cities and its creative approaches to environmental challenges keep it in the scientific limelight. Your trip from Zurich to Venice promises to be inspiring and intriguing, and youâll leave with more questions than when you arrived.
Venice: an unlikely success
In 452 AD, the Huns invaded and forced mainland Italian refugees onto a marshy lagoon off of the northeastern coast of the Italian Peninsula. These refugees used the materials and knowledge they had from the landscape and drove sturdy timber poles into the marshland. Atop these poles, they placed limestone slabs to form the foundation of their homes, stores, artisan workshops, and churches.
The timber poles gradually petrified over time into stone-like beams due to the chemical composition of the marshes. Venice continued to grow despite its unusual foundation. Today, it sits atop about 120 islands and is connected by endless bridges and ferries.
The Republic of Venice
As refugees who would rather build an entire world from the ground up than live under Hun rule, Venetians became known for their independent society and unique government structure.
The Republic of Venice was governed by an elected Doge and a complex web of local councils. They were master sailors and built their wealth through trade, banking, and salt production from their easy access to the sea.
After a devastating loss to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1797, the Republic of Venice was folded into a series of neighboring empires until joining the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
The future of Venice
In 1987, Venice became a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its contributions to artisan crafts like glass-blowing, engineering prowess, and unique adaptation to the surrounding environment. It is an incredibly popular destination but must balance its popularity with the preservation of its legacy. Dams, levees, and visitor taxes are a few such interventions in place to keep Venice around for centuries to come.
From Zurich to Venice: travel tips
The drive from Zurich to Venice is an all-day affair. Keep these travel tips in mind so youâre fully prepared and having a great trip.
Plan your breaks
For the six-hour-long journey, youâre already going to have to stop at least once for food, the restroom, and to stretch your legs. Instead of pulling into a rest stop off of the highway for fast food, use the occasion to have a nice meal of tortellini in Borghetto sul Mincio and a stroll along the Mincio river. You are in Italy, after all!
Bring a portable battery pack
Before leaving Zurich, charge your portable battery pack and put it in your personal bag so your phone will always have a full charge. Take pictures and videos, and stay connected without fear of running out of battery.
How to get from Zurich to Venice
You have several options for your Zurich to Venice transfer from a variety of price ranges. Which will you choose?
Zurich to Venice with Daytrip
Dayripâs door-to-door private car service is the easiest and fastest way to get to Venice. Your driver will pick you up from your hotel in Zurich on your schedule and drive you across the Alps to the coast of northern Italy. Plan the stops that interest you, travel in privacy, and do everything you can do with a rental car without the hassle. Prices start at $193 (âŹ178) per passenger.
Venice does not allow cars, but your driver will take you as close as possible to your accommodation. You wonât have to worry about expensive parking garages on the edge of the city or about returning the car after a long trip. Youâll be free to explore Venice!
Zurich to Venice by train
In the summers, Trenitalia has one direct train per day from Zurichâs main train station to Veniceâs St. Lucia station. It leaves at 7:33 AM and arrives in downtown Venice at 2:42 PM. Tickets cost between $130 and $217 (âŹ120-âŹ200); however, the cheapest seats sell out weeks ahead of time. During less busy seasons, departures may be less frequent or may require a transfer.
Zurich to Venice by plane
Direct flights from Zurich Airport (ZRH) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) are operated by SWISS airlines. They have three flights per day and tickets start at $293 (âŹ270). The flight is one hour long, but after factoring in transportation to the airport, the check-in process, deplaning, and the final taxi to Venice, you are looking at a 7-hour long journey door-to-door.
Zurich to Venice by bus
Direct buses for this route are few and far between. Switzerlandâs mountainous roads make bus travel slow and uncomfortable, but Flixbus has one direct connection daily. The trip takes nine hours and leaves Zurich at 7:30 AM.
Things to do when you get to Venice
Just being in Venice is a remarkable event. Its winding canals, tight alleyways, and extravagant buildings are the perfect backdrop to a casual evening stroll after your journey from Zurich to Venice. In the morning, start your day off right with a traditional Italian breakfast and head to these famous sites:
Piazza San Marco: the heart of Venice
Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) was the center of Venetian society and is a natural starting point for sightseeing. It sits in the shadow of Basilica di San Marco (St. Mark's Basilica), the Campanile di San Marco (St Mark's Campanile), and the Palazzo Ducale (Dogeâs Palace).
Basilica di San Marco (St. Mark's Basilica)
Not a single expense was spared in the commissioning of the basilica. Its elaborate mosaics, ornate carvings, and intricate detailing leave more to be uncovered with every turn. Like an optical illusion, the longer you study its statuettes, arched doorways, and marble columns, the more details emerge.
Palazzo Ducale (Dogeâs Palace)
A mere couple of steps from St. Markâs Square, off of a smaller square, is the Palazzo Ducale. Venetians were ruled by a Doge, and during their reign, their home was the Doge's Palace. It also served as the home of the government and a symbol of Veniceâs incredible wealth. A visit to Venice is incomplete without a tour of its lavish interior.
Veniceâs glass prison: Murano Island
Venetian glass is a world-renowned artisan craft with a dark history. Murano Island was Veniceâs solution to an age-old problem: factory fires. Glass production requires very hot fires, but with Veniceâs unique layout, a single devastation fire could destroy the entire republic. Glassblowers were made to live on Murano Island to isolate their dangerous profession from the rest of Venice.
To preserve the secret techniques and styles of glass-blowing, artisans had to ask for permission to leave the island, and very few people outside of industry professionals could come to Murano. Today, however, it is a quick boat ride away!
When is the best time to visit Venice
As you can imagine, a city built on a solid bed of limestone floating on a marsh doesnât have tall buildings or trees to keep the streets shaded during hot days. Summers in Venice are incredibly hot and crowded, with guests streaming in from both mainland Italy and the cruise ships docked outside of its harbors.
We recommend planning your trip from Zurich to Venice during the spring or autumn. Youâll have a much more pleasant experience, cheaper accommodation, and shorter queues for tours.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âVi anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten tvĂ„ gĂ„nger medan vi var i Thailand. Extremt snabb och effektiv kundservice. BĂ€sta pris som erbjuds i Chiang Mai för resorna. Artiga, punktliga, professionella och engelsktalande chaufförer. Rena, bekvĂ€ma fordon. Som en regelbunden besökare i Thailand var detta den bĂ€sta servicen, utan tvekan. Mycket nöjd med företaget. Jag hoppas att det bibehĂ„ller den serviceexcellens som gavs till oss.â
