Transport strikes in Rome and Venice

What has been officially announced — from the register of the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. Updated automatically.

Per the MIT register as of July 23, 2026

July 23–24 all day

Strike: trains, city transport, water

Rome. Termini and Tiburtina are affected, along with Trenitalia, Italo and the regional lines. The Leonardo Express to Fiumicino may not run either, so allow for a bus or a taxi to the airport. Metro lines A, B and C are affected, along with ATAC buses and trams and the COTRAL regional services. Reductions are uneven: some lines run, others stop. Much of the centre is walkable.

Venice. Santa Lucia on the island and Mestre on the mainland are both affected. Regional and long-distance trains may be delayed or cancelled. If you are leaving the city that day, check the timetable in advance. The mainland services are affected: ACTV buses around Mestre and the People Mover between Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto. ACTV vaporetti, the Alilaguna boats to the airport and the Lido ferry are all affected. In Venice there is nothing to replace the water: the Lido, Murano and Burano become unreachable rather than merely awkward. If you fly that day, leave a great deal of time.
