Treviso Airport
The Treviso Airport is a small airport that is an alternative to Venice’s larger Marco Polo Airport and is used primarily for budget flights. Situated about 3 kilometres from the town centre of Treviso, the airport is about a 10 minute drive by car, and is near the by-pass SS53 on the trunk road SS 515 in the direction of Padova, while Venice itself is about 20 kilometres away. Airlines that use this airport include Ryanair, Carpatair, Eurofly and Eurojet Italia, and budget flights to and from London, Germany, Belgium and Spain are available.
To access the airport from Venice and the A4 motorway, travelers should take the A27, and exit at Treviso Sud, then take the SS-53 bypass and turn left onto the SS-515. The airport is after the traffic lights approximately 300 metres on the left, and the journey time is approximately 25 minutes.
The Treviso Airport has a snack bar and two bars located within it, but due to its focus on budget flights, does not have any business facilities available. In addition there are two car parks available, one with 119 spaces for short term parking (free for the first 30 minutes), and another 200 metres away with 800 spaces for long term parking.
Taxis are available form the airport, but tend to be expensive, a better option can be considered to be the shuttle buses which are available to Treviso and Venice and are usually scheduled to match the flight times. In addition a number of car rental firms such as Europcar, Maggiore and Hertz are available for those looking to hire their own vehicle.
