Lake Garda to Venice by Train
Did you know that Venice, the most romantic city of the world is less than a two hour train ride from Lake Garda, making it an achievable addition to your Lake Garda holiday itinerary.
Trains for Venice depart from Desenzano and Peschiera at regular intervals throughout the day, for as little as €9 each way. It’s best to arrive at Desenzano early to be sure of one of the free parking spaces, which are just a minutes walk from the station.
There are trains for the return journey at regular intervals between 4.00pm and 9.00pm so you will have plenty of time to spend an amazing day out experiencing the facinating city.
The train takes you to the heart of the city so there is plenty of time to reach Piazza San Marco by navigating the bridges and canals, to take a ride in a gondola and to sample the bacari, a glass of wine with appetizers a true Venetian tradition.
