Train to Venice
Venice can be reached by train from Munich and Vienna among others, by day over the Brenner Pass and overnight by night train. The route through the Alps is one of the most scenic rail journeys in Europe. You travel without the bustle of an airport and arrive right by the water. That makes the train a calm and logical choice for Venice.
