Wenecja is located on the line of the narrow gauge railway running from the town of Żnin to famous Biskupin and further on to Gąsawa.

The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum and the ruins of the 14th-century castle attract tourists to the village.

The Żnin District Railway also runs through it, although it currently no longer functions as a regular means of transport for local residents.
