Cheap train tickets from Venice to Rome

The price of train tickets from Venice to Rome starts at $15.96 one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Booking on the day is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or class.

Book in advance

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Venice to Rome by booking early.§

Be flexible with your travel times

Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.

Choose a slower or connecting train

On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!

Look out for special deals

Take a look at our handy guides to find out when train operators release their special deals and offers to see if you can find cheap European train tickets for your journey.

For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

§Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.

An enjoyable journey from Venice to Rome by train

I recently took the train from Venice to Rome with Trenitalia, traveling in Frecciarossa Standard Class. It takes around four hours to get from Venezia Santa Lucia station to Roma Termini by train.

What I enjoyed about the journey

The train was clean and relatively quiet - we had the 4 seats round a table to ourselves. The seats were comfortable, and I was happy with the amount of legroom we had.

The journey itself was quick, smooth and on time. I liked that the train had air-conditioning and there were good food and drink options on board.

View from train window on a train between Venice and Rome in Italy

The overhead baggage storage was big enough to fit our large suitcase, so we didn't need to worry about keeping an eye on it. There were nice views out the window, working power outlets and USBs, free WiFi, and a screen with updates on the journey.

I think the train switched directions at Florence, which we didn't expect. But it meant we were in the closest car to the station entrance in Venice and closest to the exit in Rome, which was ideal!

What I didn’t like about the journey

I wasn’t impressed with the restroom facilities on board the train during my trip, as the restroom closest to us was out of order.

Overall, the train was clean, well-equipped and on time. I felt the journey offered good value for money, and the whole trip was a great experience!
