Located about 8 miles (13 km) north of central Venice, it is a key entry point to one of Italy’s most iconic destinations. Renting a car at Venice Airport is the best way to explore the mainland areas of Veneto and beyond, including Verona, Padua, the Dolomites, and even cross-border destinations in Austria and Slovenia.

Airport facilities and services
