154 km north, from your door to the lagoon
Venice is 154 km from Bologna: about 1 hour 50 minutes door to door on the A13. We drop you at Piazzale Roma, at your Mestre hotel, at Marco Polo Airport, or at the Venice cruise terminals; from Bologna Airport the trip is a little longer.
It works in every combination travellers actually need: BLQ arrivals continuing to a Venice stay, a Venice hotel connecting to a flight out of Bologna, or the growing cruise crowd moving between Venice and the Ravenna cruise terminal, which has its own dedicated page.
Vans up to 8 seats carry group luggage comfortably; larger parties ride in two vehicles.
Train or private car to Venice?
The high-speed train runs Bologna Centrale to Venezia Santa Lucia in about 1 hour 25 and lands you inside the lagoon, which no car can do: alone with light luggage, that is the smart ticket. The car takes over when your trip starts at Bologna Airport (no monorail, no station, no changes), when you travel as a family or group with suitcases, when your Venice address is actually in Mestre or near the airport, or when the schedule is yours to set: a 5:00 pickup for an early flight out of VCE, or a late arrival no timetable covers. Per vehicle, fixed at booking, and split between 3 or more it competes with the flexible train fares. Updated July 2026.
