Dear Forum: I would like to find out how to get from Verona to Venice after midnight on June 20th. The TrenItalia schedule seem to stop just around mid-night at restart at 4am. Any other 24/7 hr train service, bus? Taxi? and rough idea on cost if taxi? Renting a car may not be an option as I'll be new to Italy. The reason is I would like to attend the opera on the 20th in Verona but have to rejoin an organised tour in Venice early the next morning. Thanks in advance.

You don't have many options, I'm sure buses don't run all night and your right about the trains. A taxi would probably cost you a minimum of 100 euros. What time do you have to rejoin the tour in Venice? Verona to Venice is about an hour or so, if there is a train at 4am maybe you can join them in time.

Hi, thanks to rhis post, I'd like to ask if there are trains from Venice airport to Verona (or I have to go the city station, then catch the train to Verona). Thanks

Venice airport is not in the city itself.

And there are two: Marco Polo and Treviso.

From both you need to get a bus to the city itself. But if you don't actually need to get there, it would be much easier to get the train from Mestre on the mainland, before you cross the causeway to Venice Santa Lucia station.

You could return to Mestre if you wish, or to Venice Santa Lucia station. There are frequent buses across the causeway from Mestre to Piazzale Roma in Venice.

You will pay a great deal for a taxi from Verona to Venice at that time of night, but might consider it worthwhile to avoid the waiting/hassle of bus/train travel (and the lack of sleep).

Leics already gave a rgeat answer to the last poster.

To the original poster, IMHO, you have these ptions:
1) book a limo/rent with driver service. I have one in my verona tips. But this will be expencive.
2) Sleep here, and leave soon
3) serch IN VENICE a travel agency that organizes bus to verona opera and back. there should be. And, in that case, make a deal for the coming back alone. Non easy to find, but probably not impossible.

Thanks so much!

Thanks to all for guidance. I have to join the tour around 9am the next day so overnighting in Verona and taking the early 4 am train may be an option. I'll also consider paying the 100 euros taxi service as this may be less than a hotel in Verona. I'll also investigate any venice to opera and back bus service. Grazie!!

You do not eed to take a 4 Am train to be in Venice by 9! A train take around 1,5 hours (or less), then calculate how far from the station my have to go.
BTW, i won't bet a taxi/limo could cost ONLY 100 at night, expecially with the sky-high gas prices of today...
