Planning your journey: Venice Mestre to Venice Santa Lucia
Departure station: Venice Mestre
Venice Mestre is the main railway station on the mainland and the starting point for many journeys into Venice. It’s a key hub for trains travelling across northern Italy, and if you're arriving from cities, such as Milan, Verona or Bologna, there's a good chance you'll pass through Venice Mestre before continuing to Venice.
The station itself is modern, clean and easy to navigate, with departure boards, cafés, shops and waiting areas. If you have time before your train, you can also make use of the Deposito Bagagli - also known as the left-luggage office - or grab a quick espresso before boarding. As the journey to Venice Santa Lucia is so short, you don’t need to worry about arriving early. Turning up 10 to 15 minutes before departure is usually enough time to get yourself organised.
Arrival station: Arriving at Venice Santa Lucia
Venice Santa Lucia is Venice's main railway station, and it’s the only station located on the island. As soon as you leave the station, you'll step out onto the Grand Canal, and you’ll find vaporetto stops and water taxis directly outside. If you're staying in neighbourhoods such as San Marco, Cannaregio, Dorsoduro or San Polo, Santa Lucia is the ideal arrival point.
A lot of hotels can be reached on foot from Venice Santa Lucia. But, as Venice's streets include plenty of bridges and steps, it’s a good idea to allow extra time if you're travelling with large suitcases.
