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.

Cheap train tickets from Venice to Perugia
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 Perugia 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!
