Berlin to Venice is a quick, cheap and genuinely lovely short hop — under two hours nonstop, dropping you a short boat ride from one of the world’s most photographed cities. It is a low-cost route with real competition, so fares are genuinely tiny if you travel light: checking every return fare on sale, the low-cost carriers run €66–€81. One detail the booking page will not shout about — most of those cheap flights land at Treviso, about 30 km from Venice, not at Marco Polo. Here is who really flies it nonstop, which airport you actually arrive at, what a return costs in euros, and how to book well.
Route: Berlin Brandenburg (BER) → Venice Marco Polo (VCE)
Distance: approximately 520 km (325 miles)
Non-stop flight time: about 1h 35m – 1h 45m
Direct flights: Yes — Ryanair and Wizz Air fly nonstop from Berlin, but check the arrival airport: in our fare data roughly four in five of the cheap Ryanair flights land at Treviso (TSF), ~30 km from Venice and about 40 minutes by bus, with the rest at Marco Polo (VCE). Every Wizz Air fare we found goes to Treviso. Full-service one-stops exist through European hubs but cost roughly three times as much and take far longer.
Fares from Berlin to Venice (EUR)
Venice is a year-round city break, but fares and crowds swing with the seasons. Spring, early autumn, the Carnival weeks (February) and the film-festival/high-summer stretch are the busiest and priciest; the deep winter (outside Carnival and Christmas) is the cheapest. The figures below are typical economy return fares in euros — the lowest are cabin-bag-only low-cost fares, and single tickets can be startlingly cheap on quiet dates.
| Month | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | low |
| February | — | medium (Carnival) |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | high (Easter/spring) |
| May | — | high |
| June | — | medium-high |
| July | — | high (summer) |
| August | — | high |
| September | — | high (festival/autumn) |
| October | — | medium |
| November | — | low-medium |
| December | — | medium (Christmas) |
Checked against every return fare on sale as we write, the low-cost fares sit in a narrow band: €66–€81 return with a median of €76, so anything in the seventies is the ordinary price and a fare under about €70 is a good one. Those are cabin-bag fares to Treviso in most cases — add a hold bag and the bus into Venice before comparing. The full-service alternative is a different order of magnitude: Austrian, Lufthansa and KLM run €220–€249 via their hubs, arriving at Marco Polo.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 1h 40m):
- Ryanair — the most frequent nonstop, with roughly eight flights a week; typically the cheapest headline fare, strictly cabin-bag-light unless you add extras. Some services are operated by group carrier Malta Air.
- easyJet — several nonstop flights a week; low-cost with a slightly more generous cabin-bag policy than Ryanair, hold luggage extra.
One-stop (slower and pricier; rarely needed):
- Lufthansa, Austrian and SWISS via Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna or Zurich, and Eurowings with a connection — useful only if you want a through-checked bag, a specific timing, or you’re combining Venice with another city.
On a route this short, the nonstop low-cost flight is almost always the best pick — a connection can triple the journey time for no saving. Note that Eurowings serves Berlin–Venice with a change of plane rather than a genuine nonstop, so if you want direct, book Ryanair or easyJet.
When to book & how to save
- Book 3–8 weeks ahead for the lowest fares; low-cost prices on this route climb as seats sell, and the cheapest fares go early.
- Travel in the low season (January, late autumn) for the quietest Venice and the smallest fares — the city is atmospheric and far less crowded.
- Avoid Carnival, Easter and high summer if budget matters; those weeks push both fares and crowds up sharply.
- Pack to the cabin-bag limit: the headline fares are cabin-bag only — if you can travel light, this is one of the cheapest city breaks out of Berlin; add a checked bag and compare the all-in total.
- Fly midweek: Tuesday–Thursday departures are usually the cheapest, and they dodge the weekend-break rush.
Arriving in Venice
Nonstops land at Venice Marco Polo (VCE), on the mainland about 13 km north of the historic centre. The classic arrival is by water: the Alilaguna vaporetto lines run from the airport pier to St Mark’s, Rialto and other stops in around 60–90 minutes for roughly €15. Faster and cheaper by land, the ATVO or ACTV bus reaches Piazzale Roma (the edge of the car-free old town) in about 20–25 minutes for around €10, where you pick up a vaporetto or walk. A private water taxi is the quickest but priciest option. Some ultra-low-cost flights use Treviso (TSF) instead — about 40 km away with a bus link — so check which airport your ticket names.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from Berlin to Venice?
Nonstop flights take about 1 hour 35 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. A one-stop itinerary through a hub such as Frankfurt, Munich or Vienna typically takes 4 to 6 hours in total, so the direct flight is by far the quicker choice on this short route.
Are there direct flights from Berlin to Venice?
Yes. Ryanair and easyJet both fly nonstop from Berlin to Venice Marco Polo (VCE), with several flights a week each. Eurowings and full-service carriers serve the route with a connection rather than a genuine nonstop, so for a direct flight book Ryanair or easyJet.
How much does it cost to fly from Berlin to Venice?
There are two clear tiers. Low-cost returns ran €66–€81 across the dates we could price, median €76, mostly into Treviso. Full-service one-stop returns to Marco Polo ran €220–€249. Carnival, Easter and high summer push the low-cost tier toward its upper end and beyond.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Berlin to Venice?
January and November are usually the cheapest. In the dates we could price, low-cost returns started at €66. Avoid the February Carnival, Easter, and the July–September summer and film-festival stretch, which are the busiest and most expensive.
Which airlines fly from Berlin to Venice?
Nonstop: Ryanair carries the great majority of the cheap fares at €66–€81 (some flights operated by Malta Air), with Wizz Air alongside it from €66 — but most of those flights land at Treviso rather than Marco Polo. One-stop into Marco Polo, if you want a through-checked bag or specific timings: Austrian (€224–€249), Lufthansa (€220) and KLM (€227). easyJet, SWISS and Eurowings also serve the city pair but did not appear among the cheapest fares when we checked.
Which airport do I fly into in Venice?
Most nonstops land at Venice Marco Polo (VCE), about 13 km from the historic centre with bus and vaporetto links into town. Some ultra-low-cost services use Treviso (TSF) instead, roughly 40 km away with a bus connection, so check your ticket before arranging transfers.
How far in advance should I book Berlin to Venice flights?
Aim to book 3 to 8 weeks ahead. Low-cost fares on this route are cheapest when the flights first open and climb as seats sell, especially into weekends and the spring, summer and Carnival peaks. Off-peak midweek dates are the most forgiving for late booking.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Yes, usually — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are typically the cheapest, while Friday–Sunday carries a weekend-break premium. On a low-cost return, shifting your dates by a day or two can easily halve the fare on this route.
