Hey guys, Sean here from The Roman Guy.
We’re here in Roma Termini station, it’s 6:05 AM and we have the 6:15 AM train for a Rome to Venice day trip.
We generally suggest you spend at least one night in Venice, but not every vacation has time for that. We understand so we’re going to show you how to see Venice in a day.
Venice is made up from 118 island and is home to over a quarter million people. The historical center itself and what we call the main island, is home to just around 55,000 residents.
With an average of over 30 million visitors per year, it’s a great idea to plan your day well.
Venice is about 15 times smaller than Rome, and all the top things to do are within walking distance from one another.
Venice is in the Veneto region of Italy, on the Adriatic Sea. By train it’s about 3.5 hours from Rome, 2 hours from Florence and 2.5 hours from Milan. Don’t get off at Venice Mestre, Venice S. Lucia is your stop!
From Venice Santa Lucia train station you can either take an expensive water taxi which is really cool, or the vaporetto which is like a boat version of a bus. You can take number 2 which will take you straight to St Mark's Square.
You can buy your tickets right outside the train station, and a single journey will cost you 7.50 euros as of 2018. Remember to validate the ticket before you get on board. The ticket is good for 75 minutes after you validate it and you can hop on and hop off as you go. The trip to St Mark's Square takes about 30 minutes.
St Mark’s Square is one of the most important and most recognizable squares in all of Italy. If you’re planning on going inside St Mark’s Basilica, you can either buy tickets online or book a guided tour to skip the line. Don’t show up without a ticket, or you’ll spend your day in Venice waiting in line.
Remember that entering St Mark’s Basilica, you’ll be entering a holy place, so make sure you have your shoulders and knees covered.
On the right hand side of St Mark's Basilica, you’ll find the Doge’s Palace. The special itinerary tour takes you to the once famous cell of Casanova and you also get to go across the Bridge of Sighs which is super cool!
You can visit the Doge’s Palace every day from 8:30am to 7pm April through October or until 5:30pm November to March.
This clock has been keeping time in Venice for over 500 years and built in the late 15th century.
Venetian legends hold that when the clock was revealed, it was so beautiful that the Doge had the clockmaker blinded so he could never create anything to rival it.
If you’re a lover of great views, definitely check out the Campanile or Bell Tower, open only April through to October.
Most people just think it’s the Libreria Acqua Alta is just a quirky store with gondolas inside but there’s actually a method to the madness. The name translates to the Library of High Water, most books are protected in bathtubs or even a gondola. This is because the canals flood and it’s the best way to keep the books protected.
Now we’ll head for a casual lunch at Osteria al Portego. In Venetian bars they sell something called Cicchetti, different mixed foods; fish, meat, all kind of fried items…
The Rialto Bridge is one of the most recognized attractions in Europe, let alone Venice. It was actually first built as a pontoon bridge in the 12th century. Later they rebuilt it out of wood but it burnt down a few times and collapsed on even more occasions. Finally they completed what you see today in 1591.
Nino & Friends is a cool little shop that we happened to stumble upon, they had the best cookie I’ve ever eaten in my life.
This city is a fishing village, so definitely walk through the fish market, which is a great picture of the local culture.
The Jewish Ghetto in Venice is the oldest Jewish ghetto in the world. It was created here in 1516.
In the Jewish Ghetto neighborhood you can find many cicchetteria and restaurants such as Mezzopieno, Bacaro dai Morosi and Birreria Zanon.
At this point, check your watch, see what time it is and start making your way back to the train station.

We're glad you enjoyed the video!

only 3minutes in and this is already one of the most helpful videos ever, thanks so much dude! heading to rome in December and was wondering if I had time to hit venice as well
I enjoyed the professional approach. appreciate the helpful information. returning to Europe this fall particularly Italy. thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
We're going to Venice for three nights next week, and you're talking about things that really interest me. I'll be saving and watching this again before we go. Thank you for putting together such an informative program. This has been very helpful.
Headed to Venice today, thanks for the tips!
Have fun!
We spent 3 days, mix of tours and self guided. Beautiful city.
Just came back from here I stayed just 2 days and saw everyone. Great video!
When in Venice........gotta visit the little colorful Islands of Burano & Murano; Beautiful & less crowed & a nice change from A crowded Grand Canal or all the other popular tourist spots💕💕!!!!!
We love the islands as well!! So glad you enjoyed your time, Lisa!
I never think of doing a day trip to Venice, but now that i saw this video made me thinking of doing it. Thanks
Just want to say your videos are awesome!!! First video I've watched, not even finishing yet, I already subscribed thinking...."this will be my go to channel when I need to travel somewhere for the first time!"
Wow thanks so much. Tell us what you think of the each video. Happy planning and travels
Congratulazioni a lei e alla sua squadra, molto bene. Bravoooo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant, well done buddy. John (Wales UK)
Thank you! Cheers!
The way you get passed the line for the Basilica is storing your bag at the small church on the small street beside the Basilica. This will saves you lots of time.
Thank you for all the travel information that you post on , we went on a bus tour 2 years ago but unfortunately there was not enough time to go in the buildings and take walks around Venice . your video shows lots of places to check out. thank you again, I will comeback with more comments after my trip.
Great. The most intriguing piece of information about Venice was of the Jewish Gheto. I'm not surprised that Venice harbours the oldest Jewish establishment in the world considering that Venice's origins was a merchant port. Unique in so many ways.

That is a very decent tour I should say. Thank you!
This video is excellent! Thank you very much for posting it! It helped me a lot. Happy new year, brother!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Happy New Year!
Thanx for your video, I will be there next month and spend more time
I’m heading in December for 5 days I can’t wait . This video will help me so much !!! Thank you !
Hope you have a great time in Venice!
You're welcome! We're so happy that the video has been helpful! If you need any assistance on your trip please feel free to give us a call anytime at 1-888-290-5595
Were? Who is we?
great video planing 2 go for 2 days in end of october!!!
This video is amazing!!! Thanks for the information you have provided, it's definitely easier now to go to Venice for few hours! The map is amazing too and very useful! Thank you guys, this is precious!
Putting my Venice Video to shame. Loved it! xxx
We were there for two days and couldn’t fit everything
A week at least.
Inside the palace is amazing
Yep I can't understand why folks would want to rush their visits to some of the fabulous Italian/European cities - arrive at 9am, push through the massive crowds for a whirlwind tour of the place, including a 1-hour lunch and then rush back to the main station to catch the train or bus to someplace else on the same day. All they get to see are the huge crowds, a handful of the landmarks from the outside, the inside of an eatery and the bus/train stations. For Venice, Florence and the like, allocate at least a week for your visit - take in the beauty and culture the cities have to offer (including before the tourist crowds arrive and after they have left) rather than rushing and seeing nothing (might as well just 'travel' via google street-views from the computer).
one of the better Venice vids I've seen , bravo .
Grazie Mariano! Venice is a great place to film a video as well :)
Nice Video. Thanks
Thanks for the videos. I’m heading there tomorrow for the weekend, Saturday is already accounted for so I’ll be hitting some of this stuff Friday.
The Roman Guy it’s been great so far. Heading to Burano now.
Cool so far thx
AMAZING AMAZING I LOVED THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH
Very helpful, thanks
I we'll be in Rome soon and was wondering how much is your Venice in a day tour that includes the high speed train from Rome & back?
The tour doesn’t include the train. thetourguy.com/tours/venice/venice-day-tour-st-mark-doge-palace-gondola-ride
Your videos are the best ! Can you do one on Bologna ?
Thank you for sharing!!
Question! I am trying to plan a trip to Rome in January. Is it possible to do without travel agent? I mean how do you decide on a good airline?
Thqnkyou so much for the video
Hi Roman guy ! I’m addicted to your detailed videos,thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks, I will traveling from Venice to Rome and I was wondering if there are cabins available on trains so I can get some sleep ?
These are great videos and helped us out when we visited early May! I like that they give you a map and mention train stations that you would use because that can be soooo confusing as first timers to Italy. Venice was so wonderful to visit and can't wait to go back. We booked The Roman Guy for three tours and I would highly recommend booking with them. There are sooo many tour companies to go through but The Roman Guy was fantastic. When we toured Doge's Palace we were the only two on the tour and holy cow it was the best time with our guide and even got to see some things I suspect most don't get to see. When we got to Rome we toured the Colosseum and the Vatican and are tour groups were super small which is really the best way to go. Guides alway give tips on what else you should see and where to eat and you should take their advice.
great instructional vid
So what more would you see if you could stay over night and have a 2nd day?
Hi do you also recommend buying tickets ahead of time for the palace?
Absolutely 👍🏼
Can you take a gondola ride from the train station to st. Marks square? I know you said take a water boat, but wondering if Gondola is also an option.
Good question. Not really tbh. That’s a long way for a gondola.
Complimenti ! Ottimo video.
Definitely too short... especially If you trained it up from Roma and only spent a day in Venice! Wouldn't do it without a minimum full day.. dawn to dusk... and three is more like it - usually for me. Unfortunately, inbound groups sometimes have to fit in the entire Apennine Peninsula in a week or less.Cruise ship competition makes it too difficult to prevent wasting a lot of time in lines... My suggestion is to allocate two overnights minimum at any of the Mestre hotels, breakfast included, before the tour days begin. Cheaper, easy access to the train and transfer across the lagoon to the main Sta. Lucia station.. Sometimes I wimp out and take the waterbus around to San Marco instead of the walk.
thanks for video,very useful
You're welcome Tiko, glad you liked it!
Loved it 💓
Very well!!!!
hi, what brand are those glasses you wearing on this video!.. They are great looking!..Thanks
Great video! Just found your channel ! Question - my husband and I will be visiting Venice with our 2 kids for two nights this July . We would like to buy a skip the line ticket for both st marks basilica and Doge’s palace , however , we didn’t want or need a tour . Is it possible to buy just skip the lines tickets without a tour ?
Treviso is a great spot near Venice with airport as well. You can find a great apartment like "palazzina trevigiana" or "chiarano home" near the train station and then go by to Venice easily because are only 25 minute of train. Treviso is a super cool city as well, so I think is the best way to visit 2 great city in one trip 🎉
Let me guess. Do you own these apartments? Or manage them?
Is a day enough to see the main attractions in Venice? What's the earliest train departure from Rome and the last return train from Venice? Is the train a high-speed one and can the train tickets be purchased on the departure/return dates itself?
What's the most affordable method of transportation between Rome, Tuscany, and Venice?
What time of year was this?
This was during the Spring!
hey, i have watched most of your videos since i am visiting italy on 12th . They are very informative.
I would like to know if we need to carry warm clothes there
The Roman Guy thank you for all the info and keep up the good work
Great video.. I took the train from Florence though and it does save some time. 'Nino and friends' is a great place too :) try the pistachio 'truffles'
Hello Loved the video! We are going in July. What hotel do you recommend to stay at? Or what location in Venice is good to be close to most nice places? Thank you in advance oh and do you think that the hotels are safe after the flood? Im guessing they have to replace all carpets or remove any mold etc right?
We recommend Hotel Londra, Hotel Palazzo Stern, and Hotel Locanda Vivaldi!
thank you I booked a hotel already hope I picked an ok choice
How do you buy tickets online? Which website or app??

Venice isn't only San Marco square and Rialto bridge...
Ciao Davide! You're absolutely right. There's so much to see in Venice besides San Marco Square and the Rialto Bridge. They are just some of the top attractions. What are some of your favorite places?
What time is the last train leaving out of Venice to Rome departs? How much is each way?
What month was this filmed in?
🇲🇦🇲🇦🌷😍😍
Can I hire you personally for a tour Sep 2019? 3 people, 5 days, Rome
I’m in Venice today! Very helpful bro! #Carnival
nice video ! if u want i ve a channel of curiosity and story of venice!
I heard locals don't like day trippers because they don't pay hotel fees. is that true?
In my conversations with Venetians, they are super proud that their city is so sought after. Italians take pride in their work and get satisfaction in showing it off. Regardless of how long you visit, they are happy to have you. I have never seen anything other than gratefulness from locals and I bet they will be even more grateful when tourism returns.
Nice Video Hii I Am Dr. M.S. Khan Consultant Neurologist From England
Santa Lucia, San is masculine, like in San Marco, San Polo
No problem, just trying to help; I love your videos
💝
Did u have it guide?
Thanks for the forecast! 📊 I have a quick question: 🤷♂️ I have a set of words 🤷♂️. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I don't know what they are. What should I do with them? 🤷♀️
Impossible to see much of Venice in one day. I have returned for long weekends several times, and still have a lot to see.

hi, what brand are those glasses you wearing on this video!.. They are great looking!..Thanks
hey - Thanks for the compliment. Those are Giorgio Armani, not to be confused with "Armani" or the other Armani brands. You can find shades like this for a lot cheaper in Italy than outside Europe.
@@TheTourGuyVids Thanks tour Guy. Could you please send me the item# or model # of those glasses so I will try to buy them. Thanks again!.
It's weird that you would click on a video with the title "Venice in a day" and then comment "ONE DAY IS NOT ENOUGH" 😂
😂😂😂

If you're only seeing Venice, you're truly missing out. Go explore the Veneto (Verona, Asiago, Lake Garda, Chiogga, etc.)
He only had a day. Give him a break!
yes...and Rome, Naples, Turin and hey...when you're in Italy, why not going to Greece omg...
The first time I visited Venice was during Winter in Jan . The night fog covered the city. The police men' s uniform consist of a black cape ! A Few years later, I visited again Just before the carnival, a 2 weeks festival, it has a red wine fountain! The were light snow , truely romantic 😍
Hello! I just discovered your channel. I especially like that you write how much time it takes to get to the different places. Thank you so much, and keep traveling.
So comprehensive and straightforward. Big thanx and more power to you!!!
Much appreciated. We appreciate the subscription
Will be actually spending an overnight stay there with my son next month. Your video is a big help.
this is exactly what i needed to know for a day trip to Venice ! thank you
Tell us what you think of this updated video. th-cam.com/video/yWE_AzltasU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c05m0PHNODi5OuqR
@TheTourGuyVids for rome and Florence, the new and old videos are equally interesting. The older video of Venice piqued my interest with the very unique library and the navigational tips to gauge time between different parts of Venice. If there were tours starting at 10am I would have signed up as travel from Florence to Venice for tour at 9am is impossible.. Will join tours in Rome and Florence
You shouldn’t take photos etc inside the Basilica, but many do. Lose yourself in the back streets of Venice and see how the Venetians live, the small, amazing bars and restaurants that serve food that will blow you away. Of course, you will need more than a day then😊
Thank you so much for the jewish neighbeirhood! 😀 Im going in Italy at the end of december and Im looking for jewish things to experiment! Loved your video!
Don't miss out on the oldest ghetto in Italy (Venice) and make sure you visit the one in Rome if you're there as well!
Could you guys do a video on the Italian train system? Including the train from the airport? The differences in classes?
Check out our updated video th-cam.com/video/yWE_AzltasU/w-d-xo.html
Serenissima is not a nickname, is part of the formal name of the ancient venetian republic: SERENISSIMA REPUBBLICA DI VENEZIA (Most serene rabublic of Venice). Saing that 'serenissima' is a nickname is the same as saying that UNITED is a nickname for America.
Yes, it was part of the formal name of Venice when Venice was a republic. Today, it is a nickname.
We actually use that phrase in our updated video. Check out our updated video and tell us what you think: th-cam.com/video/yWE_AzltasU/w-d-xo.html
My beautiful city. ❤️
Sempre bea🦁
It truly is, when I first set foot in San Marco I was speechless
If you go to Venice: DON'T GO IN A CRUISE! They are destroying the city and its beautiful buildings. Also, don't act like a typical tourist: don't feed the pigeons, don't go sitting where there's no sitting places (steps of a bridge or building), don't go picknicking, don't leave your trash in the streets, don't go swimming and read the other rules of Venice or you will get a fine! If you visit, you should stay for multiple days and you should take a map with you because you will get lost (and also discover a beautiful house or view)
Maija getting lost in Venice is NOT a bad thing, but probably not for the traveler most comfortable on a tour. Oh the wonderful wonders I’ve see “getting lost’ in the back canals
Best instruction video that I’ve seen so far. I’m going to Italy next month so this was definitely very helpful. I had to subscribe.. Thank you.
I was in Venice in 2014 and bought from a street vendor very cheap Venetian mask keyrings (€2 for 6 or 12) and as I liked them so much have tried to locate the vendor without success. May I ask something crasy? Should you come across him can you ask his contact for me as I live on the other side of the world. He was only selling keyrings but other might also!
Grazie Bri, enjoy your travels!
It's a long shot Jeje, but if I run into your keyring vendor, I'll ask for a contact. :)
@@TheTourGuyVids Thank you. I cannot ask more than that. Have a nice trip!
Very informative vid, Good job bud. Are you allowed to film in St. Marks Basilica? I saw a No Film sign but looks like you managed to grab a few shots.
We dont talk about this 😂😂
i am going to follow the same route on 30 dec ...haha
We are going for Christmas this year. Hoping to find a hobbit place to stay. (my daughters idea haha) Wherever I go, as long as Im with my kids, I am happy.
Good Venice
I'm planning a vacation to tour through Italy and really wanted to include Venice. This was the exact video I needed! Lots of useful tips and a great way to see the keys spots. Thank you!
He hasn't shown you half of the key spots, you can spend a day in San Marco alone, one of the best islands to visit is Murano to see the glass being made. My advice allow at least THREE days to get the best of Venice
@@GrahamWalters we all wish to spent more than 1 day..but we have limited leaves and time and have to explore other places
I'm living in Venice and this is actually a pretty good program for a day
Bravissimo! Really well done, just the right amount of helpful tips and info. Agree one needs more time in Venice but also know many people can only fit in a day trip. I know how much work went into making this video. You did an excellent job!
Best factual, to the point, with specific recommendations video I've seen in Venice yet!
ahahha i m italian and live in venice, love u talking our dialect! good job!
It seemed like you went back to the train station really early. How much time before the train departure do you need to be at the station?
We always show up 20-30 mins before departure time. That’s plenty of time to sort out track location, get snacks and a coffee
When entering the churches, are men allowed to wear shorts? Or are pants preferred.
Pants are preferred.
Within the main island you were walking?
Did you take any rides at all?
th-cam.com/video/yWE_AzltasU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sXr6u9YVsfMXE983
My question is what did u do that evening when u got back to Rome?
I lived in Verona, Italy tor four years and took the train pretty regularly to Milan and Venice. Venice has gotten too crowded, especially in the Summer. You’re better off visiting Tuscany, or crossing the Adriatic to Croatia.
I like your use of visuals and small video sequences to back up your story. Please let me know in what program you edit and produce your video? Thanks in advance and I look forward to your coming videos
