If you bring a car to Venice, you will have to pay for
a garage or parking space during your stay.
The last stops in Venice where you can leave your car
are called "Piazzale Roma" and "Tronchetto".
Parking at "Piazzale Roma" in the parking lot
run by the city costs between 15,000 and 25,000 lire,
and at the private Garage San Marco (next door) it costs
between 30,000 and 45,000 lire for 24 hours, depending
on the size of the car. To reach the privately run "Tronchetto"
parking area, as you come into Venice, follow the signs
and turn right before "Piazzale Roma". Warning:
Do not be waylaid by illegal touts - often wearing fake
uniforms - who may try to flag you down and offer to arrange
parking and hotels. Instead, continue on until you reach
the automatic ticket machines. Parking here costs around
35,000 lire for 24 hours.
(Do not leave valuables in the car. There is a luggage
deposit office, open daily 8 AM-8 PM, next to the Pullman
Bar on the ground floor of the municipal garage at "Piazzale
Roma").
Another solution is to park your car in front of the train
station in Mestre. Parking here costs much less (around
8,000 ITL per day), and there are frequent trains and
buses between Mestre and Venice Piazzale Roma: see ACTV
Home Page, schedule for Bus n° 2).

Venice has rail connections with every major city in Italy
and the rest of Europe. The main train station (Stazione
F.S. Venezia S. Lucia) is on the Grand Canal in the northwest
corner of the city. Some through trains do not terminate
at Santa Lucia, stopping only at the Venezia-Mestre Station
on the mainland. All trains traveling to and from Santa
Lucia stop at Mestre, so to get from Venezia-Mestre to
Santa Lucia, or vice versa (a 10-minute trip), take the
first available train, remembering there is a supplemento
(extra charge) for traveling on Intercity and Eurocity
trains, and that if you do not pay it before boarding,
you are liable for a fine. You can also check the European
train schedule in case you are arriving by train
from Europe or the Italian
train schedule if you are getting to Venice from
another Italian city.
