Venice Treviso Airport & Getting to Venice

Traveling to Venice and the wider Veneto region from the UK is still relatively easy and often very affordable, especially if you’re flexible with your travel dates. There are plenty of options, but from personal experience, British Airways continues to be one of the most reliable choices. They offer direct flights into Venice Marco Polo Airport, along with consistent service and competitive pricing.

One big advantage of flying with British Airways is landing at Venice Marco Polo (VCE), which is Venice’s main airport and the closest to the historic city. This makes getting into Venice quicker and far less stressful, a big plus after a long travel day.

Low-cost airlines like Ryanair can sometimes offer tempting fares, but it’s important to check carefully which airport you’ll be flying into. While Ryanair now operates some flights into Venice Marco Polo, many of their routes still use Treviso Airport (TSF), which is about 30 km from Venice. Flying into Treviso means extra transfer time and another layer of logistics before you even reach the canals.

Add in Ryanair’s strict luggage policies, and those bargain fares can quickly lose their shine. For many travelers, paying a bit more to land directly at Marco Polo can mean a smoother, more relaxed start to your Italian adventure.

Before booking, it’s still smart to run your dates through flight comparison tools like Kayak, Google Flights, or Skyscanner to see all your options and spot the best-value deals.

Getting into Venice from Treviso Airport

If you’re flying into Treviso Airport, there are two main direct coach options to reach Venice: ATVO and Barzi Bus.

ATVO Eurobus

Pick-Up Location: ATVO buses depart right outside the arrivals terminal at Treviso Airport.
Drop-Off Location: Piazzale Roma in Venice, the main gateway to the historic city.
Price: A one-way ticket is usually around €12, with round-trip tickets about €22.
Travel Time: Approximately 60 to 75 minutes, depending on traffic.

ATVO is the most convenient option, as Piazzale Roma is as close as you can get to Venice by road.

Barzi Bus

Pick-Up Location: Barzi buses also depart from outside the arrivals area at Treviso Airport.
Drop-Off Location: Tronchetto (Venice’s parking island), not Piazzale Roma.
Price: Around €10 one way, with round-trip tickets typically about €18.
Travel Time: About 40 minutes to Tronchetto, plus extra time to reach Venice by People Mover or vaporetto.

While Barzi can be a bit faster, arriving at Tronchetto means an extra transfer, which can add time and hassle, especially if you’re traveling with luggage.

FlixBus (Treviso Airport to Venice)

FlixBus operates regular services from Treviso Airport to Venice and Mestre, and it’s often one of the cheapest options.

Pick-Up Location:
FlixBus picks up near the arrivals area at Treviso Airport (the exact stop is shown in the FlixBus app and on your ticket).

Drop-Off Locations (varies by route):
Depending on the service, FlixBus may drop you at:

• Venice Tronchetto
• Venice Mestre (train station area)
• Occasionally Piazzale Roma (less common)

Price:
Tickets typically start from around €10–€15 one way, depending on demand and how far ahead you book.

Travel Time:
Usually 35 to 50 minutes, depending on traffic and which stop you’re using.

Luggage:
FlixBus generally includes one carry-on and one checked bag, which can actually be more generous and simpler than some low-cost airline add-ons.

If you’d rather skip public transport altogether, private shuttles and taxis are available, but they are significantly more expensive and usually only make sense for groups or late-night arrivals.

Treviso (view guide here) is a lovely city, though, so maybe spend a day here before heading into Venice.
