Fly in 3.5 hours
3 hours 30 minutes flight - this is how much separates Moscow from Venice - one of the most beautiful Italian cities, which is increasingly chosen by Russians as a place for their own rest. There is a direct flight from Moscow to Venice, and this is good news. Tickets cost around 10,000 and that's bad news. Direct flights are daily operated by Aeroflot. Passengers can choose between morning and evening flights. Also, Venice can be reached with one or more transfers in European cities: Vienna, Rome, Zurich, Warsaw, Chisinau, Munich and some others. The time spent on the way increases by at least an hour and a half. Austrian Airlines planes fly to Venice through Vienna, Air Moldova and Fly One transport through Chisinau. Docking in Zurich is possible if the passenger chooses to fly with Aeroflot and SWISS.
In the summertime, charter flights also connect Moscow with Italy (Rimini, Treviso). The easiest way to get to Venice is from Treviso, an airport located in a small Italian town north of Venice.
How to get to Venice from Marco Polo International Airport located in a suburb called Tessera? The journey will take about 15-25 minutes if the tourist prefers:
- a bus that will take all travelers to Piazzale Roma. From there it is already a stone's throw to the most famous sights of Venice;
- the taxi preferred by time-saving travelers. It should be remembered that vehicles are not allowed to enter the territory of Venice. At best, tourists will be taken to the same Piazalla Roma, from where they will have to go to the hotel with their suitcases across the Constitution Bridge connecting the two banks of the Grand Canal.
Some of the marinas can be reached by vaporetto - a river tram that Venetians use every day, as we do by minibuses or buses.
