Venice is a major rail hub in northeastern Italy, positioned at the end of the rail causeway from the mainland into the lagoon. The city uses two principal passenger stations: Venezia Santa Lucia on the island and Venezia Mestre on the mainland. Trenitalia and Italo provide the main domestic services, while OBB Nightjet adds selected international overnight links.
Trains from Venice include high-speed Frecciarossa and Italo services, Trenitalia Intercity trains, Regionale and Regionale Veloce services across Veneto, and overnight trains toward Austria and Germany. Venezia Santa Lucia is the main train station for passengers staying in the historic island area, while Venezia Mestre handles many mainland departures, transfers, and through services.
Rail routes from Venice run west toward Padua, Verona, Milan, and Turin, south toward Bologna, Florence, Rome, and Naples, north toward Treviso, Udine, and the Alpine corridor, and east toward Trieste. Book trains from and to Venice online at Rail Monsters.
