How much is a day trip to Venice from Manchester?

£116.35 per person for the whole day, £72.00 return flight plus about £44.35 on the ground, with 6.7 hours in Venice. Fare checked 27 October.

Is Venice worth a day trip?

Yes, as a short day: 6.7 hours in Venice, £116.35 for the whole day, 22 min into town each way. Enough for the centre and one paid sight; pick one, not three.

How long do you actually get in Venice?

About 6.7 hours in Venice. Landing to take-off is 9.9 hours; the trip into town and back, passport checks and the time at the airport come off that.

How do you get from Venice airport into town?

ACTV Aerobus 5 to Piazzale Roma 22 min, €18 return (€10 one way). A day ticket on local transport is ACTV 1-day ticket €25 (the airport bus is extra).

What does a day in Venice cost, not counting the flight?

About £44.35 a person for the day, local transport, lunch, dinner and a drink. Paid attractions are listed separately because most people do one or none, and an average that includes them is a number nobody actually pays.

Is the flight price on this page the one I will pay?

The fare shown was checked 27 October against Google Flights for this exact date and these exact flights. Fares move, so it can change before you book, and the price is not held for you.

How early do I need to be back at the airport?

Leave the city by 18:28. That allows 22 min to get back to the airport and 120 min there, including 30 min for passport checks on the way out, before the 20:50 flight home.

Will passport checks eat my day?

We allow 30 min on landing for the EU Entry/Exit System (fingerprints and a photo on your first trip) and 30 min extra on the way out. That is already taken off the 6.7 hours shown. These are estimates; queues run longer on busy days.
