Plan your trip from Venice Marco Polo Airport
The journey from the airport on the mainland to Venice itself takes around 20 minutes via the SS11. You'll travel over a connecting bridge, the Ponte della Libertà ("Bridge of Liberty"). Once you’ve arrived park up and explore this glorious city by foot or boat.One of the most beautiful and unique cities in the world, Venice is built on a group of 118 smaller islands separated by canals and linked by bridges.
While in Venice, be sure to visit the San Marco piazza, the central square in Venice and home to some of the city’s most impressive buildings including St Mark’s basilica (Basilica di San Marco); the former home of the city’s judiciary system, the Doge’s Palace and Torre dell’Orologio, a clock tower built back in 1496.
Road trips from Venice
If you’re keen to explore a little further afield there are a host of scenic road trips available to you from your start at Venice Marco Polo Airport.Venice to Rome
The trip from Venice to Rome takes just over five hours depending on traffic but is well worth the journey. The route takes you through the heart of Italy, where you’ll see small towns and cosy villages throughout this scenic drive.
Travel the A1 onto the E35 and you’ll go through Florence, one of the most important and culturally rich cities in all of Italy. Florence was at the heart of the Italian renaissance movement, architectural wonders are on show throughout this gorgeous town including works by the likes of Brunelleschi and Michelangelo.
In Florence, you should make time to visit the magnificent Uffizi Gallery, one of the greatest art galleries in the world, housing works by Leonardo Da Vinci, Giotto Botticelli and Michaelangelo.
Venice to Bologna
Less than two hours from Venice in your Avis hire car lies Bologna, a charming student town with some of the best architectural wonders, museums and art galleries in Italy.
Your trip will take your through small villages and towns. One we’d particularly recommend taking time to stop off in is Rovigo, a lovely town that houses the ruins of a 10th century castle.
Once you arrive in Bologna you’ll see the two impressive and imposing historic towers that rise high above the city. Much of the city is built under porticoes (covered walkways) giving the city a secretive and hidden feel.
Bologna has some of the most revered and interesting art galleries and museums in Italy, including the Palazzo Pepoli, the museum of the history of Bologna; MAMBO, Bologna’s modern art museum; and the Palazzo Poggi, a quirky museum located in the university containing treasures such as ship models from the 17th and 18th centuries, and anatomically correct wax models of humans from the 18th century.
