Treviso Transportation

If you arrive at the airport in Treviso and then need to go to the train station. Then you go out and stay at the bus stop outside the airport where the road is. You shall take bus number 6, but think about this can change. It takes around 15 minutes, and not so many people speak very good English in Italy, so be sure you are on the right bus. And then say in the end grazie!!!!

If you buy the ticket inside the building it cost 1 euro, on the bus it will cost 2 euros.

On my previous trips to Venice, I've flown into Marco Polo from East Midlands airport with Easyjet.

This time, I'd opted for Ryanairs Liverpool (LPL) to Venice-Treviso (TSF) route, partly due to price ( £30 return including taxes etc. - instead of £120+) and partly because I'd been wanting to visit Treviso for quite a while. I'd decided to stop overnight, do some sightseeing then travel on to Venice the next day

LIVERPOOL TO TREVISO AIRPORT

Check in at least 2 hours prior to flight time.

I usually check in online (only carrying hand luggage), but still allow plenty of time as it can take quite a while to get through security checks at Liverpool. Also the airport is ever expanding and sometimes there has been a very long walk from the car park. A multi storey car park has recently opened near the arrivals/departure entrance.

The airport is 7 miles SE of Liverpool city centre

TREVISO AIRPORT

Treviso airport surprised me- I don't think that I've ever walked out of an airport, onto a main road! It had more of an appearance of a train station from the exterior!

Formerly known as Sant' Angelo di Treviso, Aeroporto di Treviso Antonio Canova (named after the local hero sculptor) serves mainly Ryanair flights from the UK and Europe.

Outside the airport are taxis and buses. Padua, Vicenza, Asolo are within easy reach of Treviso. Verona is 2 hours away by train.
Terravision run a service to the Dolomites ( Cortina, Dobbiaco and Brunico -17 euro one way)

ATVO run bus services to Venices Piazzale Roma bus station (40 - 70 minutes, depending on traffic volume) which co-incide with the Ryanair flights - if the flight's delayed the coach waits.

Local bus service (ACTT) run buses into Treviso and the train station (15 minutes). www.actt.it.

I caught the number 6 bus to the train station from just outside the airport (Leave through exit to your right, and the bus shelter is to your right on Via Noalise) - I bought a ticket in the arrivals hall for 1 euro (2 euros from the driver) and validated it on the bus. The ticket is valid for 70 minutes.

TREVISO AIRPORT TO LIVERPOOL

On my return to Treviso airport, I caught a taxi from the train station for 15 euros

The airport itself was updated in 2007, with a new terminal building.
There is a small duty free shop with a limited selection of perfumes, spirits, wines, cigarettes and gifts, but not a lot to do while waiting.

I quite enjoyed a bowl of pasta from the cafe before going through security. It was cooked in front of me!- Later I enjoyed a coffee from a stand near passport control.

My only quibble was the long time waiting at the gate for departure, luckily I managed to grab one of the few seats available. It was quite a crush under the stairwell, where we had to wait. I had to laugh when I noticed that one of the passengers standing in the queue had a copy of 'War and Peace'- (pic 4) I couldn't resist sneaking a quick photo- errr no, he didn't finish it before we boarded- but it WAS a long wait!

I think ATVO is the best choice if case you intend to reach Bibione using public transportations.
I suggest the following web page; you'll find a link to a PDF having the timetable you need (Treviso Aeroporto - Bibione).

Have a nice stay in Bibione and feel you welcome in my Region!

If you are in Treviso and you would like to visit other towns or cities near by try www.trenitalia.it, the train station is found in the heart of Treviso and the area is quite safe. Train fares are very cheap and in minutes you can be in Venice, Padova, Udine etc.. Our fare to Venice from Treviso was on 30 min long and it costed something less that 2 euros per person. I wouldn's suggest buying tickets online, as it is quite efficient and easy once you arrive at the station to choose your route and buy the tickets. The train station has lockers too but they are far away from the ticket boots.

Ryanair Treviso/Venice is a very good connection where you can travel to Venice by taking a Ryanair flight to Treviso which is only 30 min by train away from Venice and while in Treviso, why not, visit Treviso as well. Check out www.ryanair.com and find flights with very good rates.

On arrival in Treviso we hired a taxi to the hotel. Since we were a group of 6 we hired a small mini van with driver and in addition to the destination to the hotel, the very friendly taxi driver took us for a drive around the city and told us about the history of Treviso along with some of his own recommendations of places to visit and where to eat. He even made sure to be there on time just in time to make for Ryan Air's earlier arrival. We were more than pleased with our driver Eride and the service was just perfect for a remarkable start in Treviso. So if in Treviso call Eride Loseto and you won't be sorry, the price is very good too.

Treviso is an old walled city with a labyrinth of small narrow one-way streets. There is a belt-loop road the circles the city wall. Parking on the outside of this is free, while inside the city is limited space and you must pay. Not only that, but the one-way streets and dead ends are difficult to navigate if you don't know the city. Treviso is small enough that you can easily walk from any city gate to your destination or take a bus once inside.

There are reserved places in the middle sector where out of towners cannot park. Then by the University, sections are for the student body only. Some street parking is available along some streets on the fringe, but almost always are taken already. Also, there is time limits on this. So, the best bet is to find a designated place on the outskirts of the city center, and walk in for the 4-6 block trek.
