By car
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 € 7.7
and € 12.90, and at the private Garage San Marco (next door) it costs
between € 20.00 and € 24.00 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 € 18.00 for 24 hours. (Do not leave
valuables in the car. There is a luggage deposit office, open daily 8
a.m. - 8 p.m., 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 € 4.15 per day), and there are frequent trains and buses
between Mestre and Venice Piazzale Roma: see ACTV Home Page , schedule for Bus n. 2).
From Piazzale Roma to San Servolo
By train
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.
