[edit] Get in

[edit] By train

Treviso is on the line connecting Venezia with Udine. A one way ticket to Venezia is less than €3 for the 30 km and half an hour trip.

[edit] By plane

Treviso is served by Venezia (Treviso) Airport (TSF) [1], which is mainly used by low cost companies like Ryanair.

In order to get from the airport to the Treviso Train Station (Treviso Centrale), you must get the line 6 bus [2].

[edit] By car

Treviso is connected through the national highway network

• A4 - Torino-Milano-Venezia-Trieste
• A13 - Bologna-Padova

Many national/regional roads originate in or pass through the city.

Treviso is also connected with Venice through the Terraglio SS13 main road characterized by a beautiful green landscape and ancient villas advisable for easy biking tours and itineraries for cycling holidays.

[edit] Get around

[edit] On foot

Discovering the city on foot is very easy. The historic center is actually quite small, so you can go around in the narrow streets.

[edit] By bus

The local buses are ok, but by night there are quite few. Fares are €1 within Treviso Comune and €1.50 ouside.

[edit] By car

It is better to avoid driving your own car, as there are lots of oneway streets in Treviso and a oneway ringroad around the walled city.

[edit] By bike

With the local rental bike shops you can make a good excursion at Palladian Villas. Ask locals for the Restera, a nice track all along Sile River. If you are brave, you can reach the Venetian Lagoon.
