Whats the best route to Venice from Bologna?
I heard a train can take 1 hour is this right? The faster trains (Eurostar) take a little over an hour and a half from Bologna to the Venice Santa Lucia station (the station on the Grand Canal). The standard fare is 22.80 euro in 2nd class. The regional trains take a little over two hours since they make more stops. The 2nd class fare from Bologna to Venice Santa Lucia is 8.20 euro. Note that the Mestre station is not the closest one - it's on the mainland about a ten minute ride from the Santa Lucia station which is actually in Venice.

I live near Bologna and take the train to Venice frequently.
