Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Bus
Local route with a dedicated fairground stop on Viale Treviso. Buy the ticket before boarding where machines are available and validate it on board.
Train
Frequent regional services along the Venice-Treviso-Pordenone-Udine corridor; from Pordenone station continue by bus P99 or a short taxi ride to Viale Treviso.
Train
Useful if you fly into Trieste Airport and continue by rail; regional trains stop at Pordenone on the Udine-Venice line.
Taxi
Short urban trip with luggage; taxi supply in Pordenone is limited, so pre-book for early-morning meetings and hall closing time.
Taxi
Longest of the airport transfers, with motorway tolls on the A4/A28 route. Compare against the cheaper rail option via Venezia Mestre.
Taxi
The closest airport road transfer; rail via Trieste Airport station and a change toward Pordenone is the budget alternative.
Taxi
Low-cost carriers use Treviso; a rail connection via Treviso Centrale to Pordenone is usually cheaper than a direct taxi.
Car
Visitor car parks 1, 2 and 3 serve the fairground; Park 1 is on Viale Treviso. Arrive early on the first morning because the closest bays fill first.
Weather
Early April in Pordenone, in the Friuli Venezia Giulia plain, is a mild spring period rather than a hot one. Expect daytime highs of roughly 16-21 C, night-time lows near 6-10 C, and a realistic chance of rain showers across the show week. Climatological averages only; recheck a local forecast within 72 hours of travel and keep a light waterproof layer in your bag for the walk between car parks and halls.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Italy is covered by EU roaming rules, so visitors with an EU SIM can use their home allowance at no extra cost; non-EU visitors should check a local TIM, Vodafone or WindTre tourist SIM at Venice or Trieste airport. Pordenone has 4G/5G mobile coverage in the city centre, but signal inside large exhibition halls can drop, so download your ticket, hall plan and train tickets for offline use. Italian power sockets are Type L and Type F at 230 V, 50 Hz, so bring an adapter for UK, US or Asian plugs; venue Wi-Fi availability varies by hall and is usually best confirmed at the organiser desk. Cloud-based apps and video calls work normally, with no special VPN requirement for standard business use.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Fairground access
Pordenone Fiere sits on Viale Treviso with dedicated visitor car parks (Park 1, plus Parcheggio visitatori 2 and 3). Allow extra time at opening on the first day, when badge checks and car-park queues are slowest, and note that the outer car parks add a 10-15 minute walk to the halls.
Language
The show takes place in Friuli Venezia Giulia, where Italian is the working language and Friulian is also spoken locally. Exhibition catalogues, signage and international exhibitors at major fairs usually provide English, but a few Italian phrases and a translation app help in taxis, bars and smaller stands.
Business rhythm
Italian trade conversations often begin with a greeting and a little small talk before pricing or terms. Morning slots are popular for meetings, lunch is typically 13:00-14:30, and the traditional aperitivo hour after work is a common setting for informal follow-ups.
Payments and tipping
Contactless cards are widely accepted in Pordenone, but small taxis, market stalls and some bars still prefer cash. Keep some euro notes for incidentals. Service is usually included in restaurant bills; rounding up or leaving a small extra amount is normal for good service, not mandatory.
Opening hours and Sundays
Many shops outside the fairground close at lunchtime and some close on Sunday, so plan retail visits around those hours. The exhibition itself follows its own published opening times, which should be checked on petshow.it before travelling.
Local etiquette at a pet event
Pet fairs attract visitors with strong views on animal welfare and breeding. Ask before photographing animals or stands, keep aisles clear for visitors with dogs where the organiser permits them, and follow any venue signage on which halls allow animals.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Venice Marco Polo (VCE) is the main long-haul gateway for this show, with British Airways nonstops from London in roughly 2 hr 10 min to 2 hr 20 min, one-stop routings from Tokyo in about 17-19.5 hr, one-stop New York service via Lisbon in about 14 hr, and two-to-three-stop itineraries from Sydney in roughly 26-34 hr. Trieste (TRS) and Treviso (TSF) are closer by road but have a narrower route network, so compare the flight saving against the transfer cost. Fares were not displayed in the captured Google Flights screens, so the durations above are routing references only, not price quotes. Sample searches used a 2 April 2027 outbound and 6 April 2027 return for one adult in economy; re-run for your own dates, book two to four months ahead for spring travel, and confirm baggage and change rules with the airline.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Pordenone; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Pordenone Fiere: Pordenone: Grand Hotel President; Pordenone: La Corte di Rosa - Affittacamere; Pordenone: BED & BREAKFAST CA' CASONI di LEINES CARIDAD FERNANDEZ.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing coverage in Pordenone is thin compared with Milan or Rome. Uber and FreeNow may show limited or no cars, especially at weekends and early mornings, so treat apps as a backup rather than the default. The reliable options are the local taxi cooperatives and pre-booked private transfers, particularly for the long runs from Venice Marco Polo, Trieste or Treviso airports. Ask your hotel to book a taxi for the return from the fairground, since demand spikes when the halls close and drivers may not be waiting at Viale Treviso. Confirm the fare or meter before departure, especially for airport trips where a fixed transfer price is often cheaper than a metered long-distance ride.
Public transit: The fairground is served by bus line P99, which stops at Pordenone Viale Treviso (Fiera), the closest public transport point to the halls. The regional rail backbone is Trenitalia: services along the Venice Mestre-Treviso-Pordenone-Udine corridor call at Pordenone station, which is the natural interchange for arrivals from Venice, Treviso, Trieste and Udine. From the station, continue by local bus or a short taxi ride to Viale Treviso. Buy bus tickets before boarding where possible and validate them on board; regional train tickets should be validated at the platform machines. Timetables are reduced on Sundays and public holidays, so check the return leg before the end of the show day. Fares quoted in this listing are approximate and should be confirmed with Trenitalia and the local bus operator.
Parking: Pordenone Fiere provides on-site visitor parking in car parks 1, 2 and 3, with Park 1 located on Viale Treviso. Arrive early on the opening morning and on the busiest weekend day, because the bays closest to the halls fill first and the overflow car parks add a 10-15 minute walk. Parking tariffs and any exhibitor-specific parking permits should be confirmed on the venue parking page or at the gate; this listing gives only an approximate daily band. If you are driving from outside Friuli, plan for motorway tolls on the A4 and A28 approaches and keep coins or a card for the barrier. Blue-badge holders should check designated spaces directly with the venue before travelling.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: April 2027, during the 2-6 April show window
Temperature: Approx. 16-21 C daytime highs and 6-10 C night-time lows, based on climatological norms for early April in the Pordenone plain; confirm the actual forecast within 72 hours of travel.
Seasonality: Spring in Friuli Venezia Giulia is changeable, with a realistic chance of rain showers and occasional breezy days across the show week. This is not the summer thunderstorm peak, but a wet afternoon is common enough that a compact umbrella or waterproof shell is worth packing.
Packing: Pack layers: a light sweater or jacket for the 6-10 C mornings, a breathable shirt or top for the 16-21 C afternoons, and a compact waterproof layer for showers. Comfortable walking shoes matter more than formal shoes because the halls and car parks involve long distances on hard floors. Add a small umbrella, a power bank, business cards, and an adapter for Italian Type L/F sockets; if you travel with a pet, bring its EU passport or health paperwork and any carrier or hygiene items the organiser requires.
Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Pet Show Nordest usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Buy the online ticket rather than paying on-site: current organiser pricing shows about EUR 10 online versus EUR 12 at the gate, with a two-day pass around EUR 20 and a group rate around EUR 6. — Online pricing is lower; keep the confirmation email and QR code offline-ready.
Choose the airport: Venice Marco Polo (VCE) for the widest long-haul choice, Trieste (TRS) or Treviso (TSF) for shorter road transfers to Pordenone. — Compare the flight price against the ground transfer cost, since VCE is further from Pordenone.
Book the rail leg: regional Trenitalia services run to Pordenone station from Venice Mestre, Treviso and Trieste, with a local bus or taxi onward to Viale Treviso. — Allow buffer time on the first morning; regional trains are not reservation-only.
Reserve a pet-friendly hotel in Pordenone or the immediate area and confirm parking if you are driving, because several near-venue properties advertise free parking. — Ask for a late check-in if your flight lands in the evening.
Plan the fairground leg for each day: bus P99 to Viale Treviso (Fiera) or a short taxi from the station or city centre, and save a backup taxi number.; Prepare a buying brief with target margins, pack sizes and shelf-ready requirements so supplier conversations are about listings, not brochures. — Include private-label interest and minimum order quantities.
Check pet-travel and import rules if you plan to bring an animal or samples of animal-origin products; EU pet passports and health certificates are handled separately from your own visa or entry documents.; Prepare for early-April Friuli weather: daytime temperatures around 16-21 C and nights near 6-10 C, with a real chance of rain, so pack a light waterproof layer and comfortable walking shoes. — Forecast is climatological; recheck the week before travel.
Sort connectivity and payments: EU roaming applies for EU SIMs, Italian outlets are Type L/F at 230 V, and contactless cards are widely accepted but keep some euro cash for small taxis and bars. — Download the Trenitalia app and an offline map of Pordenone.
Print or download the hall plan and mark priority stands, rest points and the press or business area if one is listed on the organiser site. — A realistic plan covers six to eight substantial meetings per day.
Pack business cards, a notebook, a power bank and your buyer credentials; check the venue bag and photography rules before entering the halls. — Some exhibitors restrict photography of new product launches.
Confirm the 2-6 April 2027 dates and opening hours on petshow.it, then block travel days so you arrive in Pordenone before the first morning and leave after the final afternoon.; Reconfirm flights, hotel, ticket and the first meeting time, then send follow-up slots to suppliers for the day after the show. — Leave a final afternoon free for second-pass conversations and sample collection.
Build a shortlist of exhibitors by product family (food, grooming, accessories, aquatics, small animals, veterinary) and email the three or four suppliers you must meet. — Ask for appointment slots and Italian-language catalogues if your buying team needs them.
