Ancona Travel Forum

Hi there, i plan on visiting venice on the 21st of june, is it possible to get to ancona by train on an early sunday morning in order to catch the Superfast ferry to greece which leaves at 1:30pm???

There are a number of solutions, but if you are checking the trenitalia website (www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html) for June 21st, the schedules aren't up yet - there's a database update about June 10th.

However, since trains don't change all that much through the year, you can look at a closer Sunday like April 27th to see representative schedules on a Sunday.

There are a number of trains that connect through Bologna, taking 4 or 5 hours; however, the most convenient may be the direct train (not non-stop, but no change of train) that leaves Venice Santa Lucia at 07:20 and arrives in Ancona at 11:47, given you some slop time if the train is late and to get to the docks.

haha! I just noticed that if you miss this train in Venice, you can catch a Eurostar that leaves Venice some 20 minutes later, and rendevous with this earlier train in Bologna ;-)

Make sense?
