Taking the train from Venice to Perugia
Journeying from the Adriatic coast down to the sun-baked hills of central Italy, the train from Venice to Perugia covers 161 miles in around four hours, with one or more changes en route.
If you've stocked up on Venetian glass and other souvenirs, Trenitalia's Frecciarossa service has lots of space for luggage, and you can also watch movies and surf the internet while you travel. If instead you're tempted by the thought of a long, leisurely drive through the Umbrian landscape, it's worth bearing a few things in mind. First off, Venice isn't a very car-friendly town for obvious reasons, and there are also a number of parking restrictions in Perugia that might make your Italian motor tour seem like hard work.
Once you get off at Perugia station, you can have a nice walk towards Parco della Pescaia, which also hosts an open-air theatre, or the Giardini di Santa Giuliana, where you'll also find a quaint Gothic church and ex-monastery. Don't miss your chance to try the delicious Umbrian cuisine, from artisan chocolates to aromatic truffles, from game dishes to sausages scented with herbs.
