Well Dolomites leaves from Santa Lucia but takes almost 4 hours to get
to Cortina. So that's kind of out for a day trip.

I just put in Venice to Verona and they only listed Mestre. Yes I would
have to go from near the Ponte Rialto to the train station.

The third one they list is Villafranca di Verona. So which of the 3
stations are the closest to the main attractions, which would be the
Arena and the Basilica (San Zeno Maggiore)?
Some tour companies play up the wines grown around Verona. I don't
suppose they have something related to the Shakespeare play?
Anyways, for a day trip, maybe Padua (which I assume is Padova by
another name?) and then onto Verona and then back to Venice sounds more
like a manageable day. |
