Some of northern Italy's best scenery and finest cities are within reach of Venice. The tours on this page include long days in the Dolomites, with Cortina d'Ampezzo and the lakes of Misurina and Braies, trips to Verona and Sirmione on Lake Garda, wine days in the Prosecco hills, and Padua with Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel.

Before you book

Check where the tour starts: most leave from Piazzale Roma or Mestre, not from St Mark's. Dolomites trips mean about two and a half to three hours each way on the road and can be affected by snow in winter. Padua and Verona are easy by train if you prefer to travel on your own, about half an hour and from about 1 hour 10 minutes respectively.

Venice day trips: questions

What is the best day trip from Venice?

Verona and Padua are the easiest city trips by train. The Dolomites are spectacular but make for a long day by road.

Do I need a tour for the Dolomites?

Not necessarily, as buses run to Cortina, but a tour is the easiest way to see several lakes and viewpoints in one day.

Where do day trips leave from?

Most leave from Piazzale Roma, at the end of the road into Venice, or from Mestre on the mainland.
