Venice to Rimini train with Regionale

Transportation experience

In my opinion, the train is the best way to get from Venice to Rimini. My experience was very comfortable, smooth, and stress-free. I took an Italo high-speed train, but you can find other providers and routes based on your schedule and budget. Trains typically depart from Venice Santa Lucia and arrive at Rimini Centrale. Both stations are centrally located and easy to reach.

Schedule & frequency

The Venice to Rimini train journey is a pretty common one, and you'll have trains every 20-30 min. If you want fewer crowds and a calmer experience, late morning or early afternoon trains are ideal. I took a train at 14:50 without any change, and arrived in Rimini by 17:40. The train was not crowded and comfortable. By 18:30, we already arrived at the hotel to fully rest.

Onboard experience & services

Traveling on a Trenitalia, I found the experience comfortable and modern - a clean train with comfortable seats. Take a seat next to the window to enjoy the sea road from Venice. On the train, I could charge my phone and really relax after a long day walking around Venice. Overall, the ride felt smooth and comfortable. Wi-Fi is available on board. Throughout the journey, I felt safe, both on the train and at the stations - the platforms were monitored. I was traveling with friends, but even if I am a solo traveler, I will still feel calm and secure. Traveling by train was way stress-free compared with rentals - we were able really relax and prepare for our next adventures.

Ticketing advice & budget breakdown

Of course, booking in advance might be the best advice for train travel, especially in the summer time, as it is peak time in Venice. I booked about 1 month ahead, as I am a real planning traveller, but two weeks ahead also sounds fine - the price difference is not that big. Keep in mind, prices can be higher on the weekends and during summer holidays.

Top tips & recommendations

• Arrive early at Venice Santa Lucia to enjoy the canal views and take some pictures on the Ponte degli Scalzi.
• Book high-speed and direct trains, like Trenitalia, for better comfort and Wi-Fi.
• Choose a window seat to enjoy the changing landscapes between Venice and Bologna.
• In case of taking a train option with a stop in Bologna, allow enough time for transfers.
