Quick Answer
Treviso Airport (TSF), also known as Canova Airport, is a small budget-airline hub about 3 km from Treviso city center and roughly 40 km from Venice. If you are heading to Treviso itself, the transfer is quick and cheap. If Venice is your destination, you have bus, train, and private transfer options, but none of them are instant. Plan for 60-90 minutes to reach central Venice depending on your mode of transport.

What Actually Happens After Landing
TSF is a compact, single-terminal airport that handles mostly Ryanair and Wizz Air flights. After landing, you walk across the tarmac or through a short jet bridge. Baggage claim is a small area with one or two belts. The whole process from plane to exit rarely takes more than 20 minutes unless there is a passport control queue for non-Schengen arrivals.
Once outside, you will find a bus stop, a small taxi rank, and a parking area. There is no train station at the airport. Inside the terminal, facilities are basic: a couple of cafes, ATMs, and a tourist information desk that keeps irregular hours. The airport has free Wi-Fi.
Transport Options Explained Honestly
Airport coach/shuttle to Venice: Coach and shuttle operators (including Flibco, which runs directly to Venice Mestre station and Tronchetto) connect TSF with Venice, timed to match flight arrivals. Flibco's own site lists a one-way fare from around 10 EUR when booked online, with the ride taking roughly 30-40 minutes depending on the drop-off point; other operators on this route may price differently, so check the fare at booking. Buses fill up and the next departure might be an hour away, so build in slack.
Local Bus to Treviso: Mobilità di Marca (MOM) runs a local bus connecting the airport to Treviso train station in about 15 minutes. Check the current fare with MOM before you travel; we could not confirm today's exact price from an authoritative source.
Taxi: Italian taxis run on a metered or municipally-set tariff. We could not confirm Treviso's current official taxi tariff (or a fixed airport-to-Venice fare, if one exists) from an authoritative source, so agree the price with the driver before you get in, or ask for the meter, rather than relying on a number here. As a rule of thumb, Venice Piazzale Roma is a long-distance run (about 40 km) and will cost noticeably more than the short 3 km hop into Treviso center.
Pre-Booked Private Transfer: A driver meets you at arrivals, handles your luggage, and takes you directly to your destination. For Venice, the driver drops you at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, where you switch to water transport. For Treviso, you get door-to-door service. Price is confirmed at the time of booking.
Train (via Treviso Centrale): You can take a local bus to Treviso train station and then a regional train to Venice Santa Lucia. Total journey is about 90 minutes including the connection. Regional trains are generally inexpensive, but check the current Trenitalia fare before you travel — it is not something we can verify here.
Realistic Pricing Expectations
We could not confirm current, authoritative pricing for Treviso taxis or every operator on this route, so treat the figures below as a starting point to check, not a quote.
Treviso city center by taxi: a short, low-cost ride (about 3 km) — agree the fare or ask for the meter. By local bus (MOM): check the current fare with the operator.
Venice (Piazzale Roma or Mestre/Tronchetto) by coach/shuttle: Flibco's own site lists a one-way fare from around 10 EUR when booked online; other operators may differ. By taxi: a long-distance run (about 40 km) — agree the price before departure since this is not typically metered end-to-end.
Pre-booked private transfers to Venice and to Treviso are priced and confirmed at the time of booking.
Keep in mind that reaching your actual hotel in Venice requires water taxi or vaporetto from Piazzale Roma, which adds cost and time — check current ACTV fares directly, since we could not verify them here.
Late Night Arrivals
TSF receives several late-evening Ryanair flights. The last ATVO bus to Venice is timed to the last flight, but if your flight is delayed, the bus will not wait forever. Local buses to Treviso stop running by late evening.
Taxis are available but the rank can be empty if multiple flights land simultaneously. After 10 PM, a pre-booked transfer is the safest bet, especially if you are heading to Venice. Being stranded at a small airport outside Treviso at midnight with no reliable transport is not a pleasant experience.
Families and Luggage
The ATVO bus to Venice has limited luggage space in the hold. If you have multiple large suitcases plus strollers, it gets uncomfortable. The bus also does not have space for car seats.
Families heading to Venice face the additional challenge of getting from Piazzale Roma to their hotel, which involves either a vaporetto (water bus with steps and no ramp) or an expensive water taxi. Plan this leg carefully.
A private transfer to Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto at least eliminates the overland portion of stress, letting you focus energy on the Venice side of the journey.
Where You Meet the Driver
For pre-booked transfers, the driver typically waits just outside the arrivals exit with a name board. TSF is small enough that you cannot miss the meeting area. There is essentially one exit from the terminal.
For ATVO buses, the stop is directly outside the terminal building, clearly marked. Taxi rank is also right outside.
Decision Helper
Choose the ATVO bus if: You are heading to Venice, have manageable luggage, and your flight lands during scheduled bus hours. It is the best value option.
Choose the local bus + train if: You are budget-conscious, traveling light, and do not mind the transfer at Treviso station.
Choose a taxi if: You want flexibility and are heading to Treviso center or Mestre. For Venice proper, a taxi only gets you to Piazzale Roma.
Choose a pre-booked transfer if: You are arriving late, traveling with family or heavy luggage, heading to a specific location in the Veneto region, or want guaranteed transport waiting for you regardless of flight delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Treviso Airport from Venice?
About 40 km from Venice's historic center. The drive to Piazzale Roma takes 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. From there, you still need water transport to reach most Venice hotels.
Is there a direct bus from Treviso Airport to Venice?
Yes, coach and shuttle operators (including Flibco, whose own site lists a one-way fare from around 10 EUR online) run direct services from TSF to the Venice area, timed to flight arrivals. Journey time is roughly 30-70 minutes depending on the operator and drop-off point (Mestre, Tronchetto, or Piazzale Roma). Check current fares and schedules at booking, since these can vary by operator.
How much is a taxi from Treviso Airport to Venice?
We could not confirm a current, official fixed or metered rate for this roughly 40 km route from an authoritative source, so agree the price with the driver before you get in. This gets you to the edge of Venice where cars stop — reaching your hotel from there requires water transport.
Is Treviso Airport or Venice Marco Polo Airport closer to Venice?
Venice Marco Polo (VCE) is significantly closer, about 13 km from Venice versus 40 km for Treviso. If your destination is Venice, flying into VCE is more convenient. TSF is primarily used by budget airlines.
Can I get from Treviso Airport to Venice by train?
Not directly from the airport. You need to take a local bus to Treviso Centrale train station (15 minutes), then a regional train to Venice Santa Lucia (30-40 minutes). Total journey is about 90 minutes including the connection.
Are there late-night transport options from Treviso Airport?
Limited. The last ATVO bus is timed to the final flight of the day. Taxis are available but scarce late at night. For arrivals after 10 PM, a pre-booked transfer is the most reliable option.
How do I get from Treviso Airport to Treviso city center?
Treviso center is only 3 km from the airport. The local MOM bus takes about 15 minutes — check the current fare with the operator. A taxi takes about 10 minutes; agree the fare or ask for the meter, since we could not confirm a current official rate from an authoritative source.
Can I get to Padua from Treviso Airport?
Yes, but there is no direct service. Either take a pre-booked transfer (about 60 km, priced at booking) or bus/train via Treviso Centrale. The train from Treviso to Padova takes about 1 hour; check the current Trenitalia regional fare, which we could not verify here.
Is Treviso Airport small?
Yes, it is a compact single-terminal airport. This is actually an advantage: you will move from plane to exit quickly. Facilities are basic but adequate, with cafes, ATMs, and free Wi-Fi.
Do I need euros when arriving at Treviso Airport?
Having some euros is helpful. The ATVO bus accepts card payment, but local buses may require exact change or a prepaid card. ATMs are available inside the terminal. Taxis accept cash; some take cards.
Treviso Airport is small and straightforward, but the onward journey, especially to Venice, requires a bit of planning. The airport exists primarily because budget airlines use it, and the tradeoff for cheaper flights is a longer, more complicated transfer. Whether you take the bus, a taxi, or a pre-booked transfer, know your next steps before you land. The Veneto region is worth the effort once you get where you are going.
