There are three main airports serving the North East of Italy: Venezia (Venice airport is also called Marco Polo airport, VCE), Trieste (Ronchi dei Legionari airport), which is the closest airport to Udine, and Treviso.

1) The best international and intercontinental connections are through the Venice airport (VCE).
From this airport the best route to Udine is by train. First take the bus from the Venice airport to the Mestre railway station (ask for the bus to Mestre, not to Venezia – piazzale Roma).

There are two bus services:
– ATVO Fly Bus (express service). The ATVO busses run daily, every 20 minutes approximately (check schedule at: ATVO). Journey time is twenty minutes; and
– ACTV bus, the public transport (orange busses). The ACTV busses (town transport service, bus number 15 – orange) run daily, every 30 minutes (check schedule at: ACTV). Journey time is twenty-five to thirty minutes approximately.

Tickets for both buses can be purchased inside the airport luggage claim area. The bus ticket costs € 8,00.
Both ACTV and ATVO also have buses to the city of Venice (piazzale Roma).

At the Mestre railway station near Venice you can buy train tickets to Udine. The trains run almost every hour. The trip takes about 2 hours. The ticket costs 12-28 Euros depending on the time and speed.
