Venice by car where to leave the car. By car to Venice. From Venice Mestre to the center of Venice or Venezia Santa Lucia

Many independent travelers have a logical question: “ What's the best way to get to Venice?? After all, there is water all around.

The following options are most convenient:

1. By train

Drive to the town of Mestre, which is located on the mainland, opposite Venice. Find Train Station . There is a convenient parking lot nearby, 300 meters away. Leave the car in the parking lot. Buy a ticket to Venice (1 euro one way). Trains run in this direction every 10 minutes. Before boarding the train, do not forget to validate your ticket. Ticket composters are located along the platform.

The advantages of this option: cost, no problems with parking, and if you arrive during siesta or early in the morning, you can have a snack at the station.

2. By car to Piazzale Roma

Drive over the bridge (dam) to Piazzale Roma. Leave your car there in the parking lot. Next, walk to St. Mark's Square for about 20 minutes.

Garage San Marco parking website http:// www.garagesanmarco.it/en/prices.html Price 30 euros/day. Check the website for discounts.

Pre-booking a space in the Municipal car park is available on the website http://www.veniceconnected.com/ If you book in advance, 15 days in advance, you will have a guaranteed space and the opportunity to enter in a special lane without queuing.

The glass bridge connects the mainland and Venice, a city on the water where cars are prohibited.

3. By car to Jesolo Spit

You can leave your car at a mini-hotel on the Jesolo spit, east of Venice. There are many budget hotels and guesthouses there. Next, from Cavallino-Treporti sea ​​tram 15 minutes to reach Venice.

This option is convenient for a day visit to Venice and an evening relaxation on Jesolo. An additional bonus is that Jesolo offers a beautiful panorama of Venice at night.

Hello! Please tell me, if you go to Venice with your own car, is it possible to drive all the way to the historical center and leave the car there? We look at Google Earth and it seems like there is a parking lot near the station. and if you plot a route, then it leads to some kind of ferry... In general, who knows, please write what and how and how much?

It is possible to get to the station, there is a multi-storey paid parking lot. However, I wouldn’t recommend going there if you don’t want to stand in line for half a day waiting for a free space. I left the car at a campsite on the way to Bagaron, here:

and from there in 10 minutes I could reach the city by bus with all the amenities. The stop is almost opposite the campsite. There is also a Lidl supermarket nearby and you can use its free parking. This is the most close point to the bridge della Libertà, where else you can hang out, then only in Venice itself. But, I repeat, there is no pleasure in parking there.

1. In Venice itself, there is parking near the railway station. You can easily find it by googling it, I don't have a link at hand. In May 2009, this pleasure cost no less than 26 euros per day (3-4 bottles of average Chianti, over 2 kg of Parmesan!) We were greedy, so we chose another parking option:

2. In Porto Marghera for 4 euros per day. This idea was prompted by the resource http://www.emmeti.it/Welcome/Veneto/Venezia/Servizi/Terminal/index.uk.html
However, they count the day somehow strangely, from 00-00 o’clock, i.e. If you arrived earlier, it still counts as a day.
From the parking lot to Venice the bus is coming(well, there’s a stop 50-100 m from the parking lot) no more than some 3-5 minutes.
It’s better to buy a one-way ticket (you can do it there in the parking lot from the security guard). Then in Venice, buy a general pass and you will be happy. It includes travel by bus.

3. People also leave their cars in Mestre near some supermarket or at the train station, but we left the car for a long time; official parking was important to us. And if it’s for 1 day, it’s quite possible to use it.

Nowadays Venice is quite quiet and calm, so you won’t spend much time parking. A garage at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto is the most convenient option. The cost is somewhere around 25-30 euros per day, depending on the garage. And from there you can walk to the very center, or you can also take a pleasure water tram.

As soon as you cross the bridge, you will immediately see a multi-storey parking lot, there is only one there. There are probably a lot of free places at this time. Only if you decide to leave your car there, don’t forget to write down the number of the parking space, otherwise you’ll be exhausted looking for it later :))) The cost is 25 euros per day. For 6 hours also 25 oiro. And there is also open parking there. This is where they stop sightseeing buses. It looks like it's free, but I could be wrong. And then sit down on " water bus"and to San Marco.

It takes a long time to get from Tronchetto to San Marco, it’s better to take a vaporetto, that’s right. But from the Piazzale Roma garages you can easily walk to the square! 30-40 minutes at a calm pace and you are in San Marco.
Outdoor parking at Piazzale Roma is free, but only for 15 minutes! After 15 minutes you will receive a fine instantly.

Hahaha bullshit. I understand that you mean Venice itself, and not, for example, Mestre.

Have you been to the zoo? have you seen ducks? So, there are boats in Venice. Boats. There are no cars there.

There is hardly any need to introduce this legendary city to you. Travelers from all over the world dream of seeing Venice. Gondolas and gondoliers, canals and bridges, pigeons in Piazza San Marco, narrow streets and the former riches of the Venetian era. There is no need to convince you that all this is worth seeing with your own eyes. There can only be one downside to such a famous and desirable city - high costs for a trip.

We are, of course, not talking about going to Venice for 1.5 euros on an all-inclusive basis. But I suggest you Significant savings on travel and parking. And this is already a lot, because parking in Venice is very expensive.

This information is especially useful for those traveling in Italy by car.

In order to understand how simple and economical the option that I will tell you about is, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the prices for parking in Venice. There are many options. You can park your car right next to central square where it starts walking tour around town. Such parking will cost you about 25 euros for the whole day.

Well, now the most important part!

You can leave your car at free parking. Yes, you heard right, and you can find free parking in Venice!

This parking lot is quite large, in any case, no matter how many times we went to Venice, always found free seats without any problems.

Parking address: Via Trieste, loc. Marghera, Venice

And from the parking lot to the center of Venice you take a regular city bus for only 1.5 euros! Travel time is 15-20 minutes.

The bus stop is right next to the parking lot on the same side of the road. You need to buy your ticket at Tabacchi. Walk along the same side of the road about 50 meters to the left from the stop and you will see this small shop.

You need bus number 6.

Where to get off, you can't go wrong. Having passed long bridge, built across a large canal, you will immediately enter the lively square in Venice, where your walk will begin.

Buses run every 20 minutes. You can find out the schedule for the return journey in advance or wait for it in the center of the square, where all the buses stop.

Don't get confused, as there are buses with number 6 and a letter. You just need #6.

On the way back, get off at the stop "Trieste".

So, you saved money on the motorway and parking, and went to Venice for 1.5 euros.

Excursions in Venice

Most guests come to Venice for just one day. Not many people stay here overnight. This is understandable, because Venice is one of the most expensive cities in Italy.

In order to get the most positive impressions from Venice in one day, without getting disappointed in the city and not getting lost among the crowds of tourists, it is best to see the beauty on the water with the help of an excursion suitable for you.

Lately I have often been asked the question of where to park my car in Venice. Agree, the situation is standard: you fly to Italy for a week and every day is scheduled to the minute. You only need a day to visit Venice and you are by car. What to do? Where to park? And how not to overpay, that’s what we’ll talk about today!

In fact, I personally can highlight three options for parking a car in Venice:

1. Leave your car in the parking lot on the island part of the city next to the Venezia Santa Lucia train station;
2. Leave the car on the mainland near Porto Marghera or the Venezia Mestre train station and from there take the train to the historical part of the city;
3. Book a hotel in Venice Metra or in nearby cities and from there you can also travel by train or bus.

Let's look at each point in order.

1. Parking on the island part of Venice

This option is the most convenient, but also the most expensive! You probably know that cars are prohibited in Venice. Yes, there’s nowhere to really speed up there.

I hope this information helps you plan your trip to Venice.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.

Actually, we need apartments or even a camping site that meets 3 conditions: 1) There is parking for a car 2) It is convenient to get to Venice by public transport 3) There is an opportunity to swim before and after a trip to Venice I would be grateful for recommendations of either a specific campsite or apartments, or just a place , satisfying all three requirements. I will also consider other places on the coast where there is something to see during the day between swimming in...

Has anyone been to the Duna Verde area - it's on the coast Adriatic Sea, near Venice. Very mysterious place in the sense that there is no information about booking apartments in any search site. And the place is wonderful and very beautiful. I found only one agency that rents out, but it’s not clear if there’s some kind of catch in this?

I want to sail to Venice by sea from Rimini (plane to Rimini). I heard somewhere that there is a water service - not a tourist one, just something like a small ship. Maybe someone has such experience. Where can you buy tickets in advance and how much it might cost - well, it’s inexpensive

What are your impressions? Which is better - Lido or Cavallino? Help me make a choice. I am considering a hotel or apartments on Lido, and a campsite on Cavallino. I am tormented by doubts - which is better in terms of location and comfort? And of course, we want excursions, preferably with a guide, but not prohibitively expensive)))
