HOW TO REACH INFN-LNL
BY AIR
The nearest airport is the Marco Polo Airport in Venezia (Venice), 40 kilometres east of Padova (Padua); it is the third most important airport in Italy, and conveniently linked with all major European airports. Other airports near Padova are in Treviso, (Antonio Canova Airport: see instructions below), Verona and Bologna, but the transfer from one of these to Padova is more difficult than from Venezia. (see instructions below)
Coming from overseas, look for a connecting flight reaching Venezia from Roma (Rome) or some other convenient European airport, like e.g. London Heathrow, Frankfurt am Main or Paris Charles De Gaulle. On the contrary, avoid flying to Milano (Milan): from Milano, you have a bus ride of about 1 hour after the customs in order to reach the railway station, and then a 2 or 3 hours ride by train to Padova.
To reach Legnaro you can choose to catch a couple of buses (option 1) or a private shuttle (option 2):
- OPTION 1: From the Marco Polo Airport there are frequent bus connections – FSBUSITALIA- (every 40 minutes from 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.) to Padova Bus station. One way ticket costs about 10,00€. Timetable and details are available here: Venezia Marco Polo-Padova The travel time is 45 minutes.
From Padova Bus Station other FBUSITALIA buses connect to Legnaro (other details in the “BY BUS FROM PADOVA to LEGNARO” : section here below).
If you fly to Treviso- Canova Airport , consult the website: MOM, to check buses from Treviso to Padova (linea 101).
-OPTION 2: Private shuttle connections from Venice Airport directly to Padua and/or to Legnaro are served by:
