Means of transport Veneto

The railway station of Mestre is in a strategic position. It allows you to reach the Serenissima in just a few minutes. Every hour of the day, from Monday to Sunday, several trains leave for the Santa Lucia station, the main entrance to Venice.

From the Mestre station, it is also possible to easily reach many Italian cities, especially those in the Veneto region: Verona, Padua and Treviso, among others.

Tickets can be bought at tobacconists and newsstands. The Atv company provides connections between Verona and the towns on the eastern shore of Lake Garda (Peschiera, Lazise, Bardolino, Garda). The Saia company is responsible for linking Verona to the western shore in Lombardy (Sirmione, Desenzano, Brescia).

Buses on national or international routes (including Flixbus, which offers a daily trip from Verona to Lyon) mark their terminus near the bus station, on the very left as you leave the train station.

Daily connections to Montebelluna, Feltre, Alano, Vittorio Veneto and Castelfranco Veneto. For destinations such as Venice and Vicenza, prefer the faster train. For road enthusiasts, the bus to Venice leaves approximately every 30 minutes during the week. On the other hand, for Padua, the journey takes 1 hour and 15 minutes without change. From the bus station there is also a shuttle bus to Venice's Marco Polo Airport: six return trips a day, approximately every 2 hours between 7 am and 7.30 pm, ticket €10 one way (information at www.atvo.it).

Railway station. Several daily connections to Padua, Treviso, Conegliano. For Vicenza, there is a round-trip service on holidays. From Padua, one departure every hour from 6am to about 11pm. From Venice, one direct train per day, or several if there is a connection at Conegliano or Castelfranco Veneto.

Bus station. The bus terminal is just outside the train station. The Dolomiti Bus company connects Belluno to the rest of the region. Convenient buses especially to Cortina and Feltre (www.dolomitibus.it).

Railway station. Located in the northwest of the city, 1 km from the center. Lines: Venice-Padua-Rovigo-Bologna (12 trains/day to Venice, stop also in Mestre); Rovigo-Chioggia (10 trains/day, stop in Adria and Rosolina); Verona-Rovigo (11 connections/day, stop in Fratta Polesine). About one train every hour from Venice, as well as from Padua.

Bus station. Located in front of the train station. A bus company provides connections to Rosolina, Taglio di Po, Porto Tolle and other places in the Po Delta that have no rail service.

As car traffic is by nature impossible in Venice, you'll have to park your vehicle in the paid parking lots at the city's entrances.

Tronchetto. At the end of the Ponte della Libertà, Isola Nova del Tronchetto, 33/m. 24-hour guarded parking: €25/day (24h) and €16 for 3 hours.

Autorimessa comunale. Piazzale Roma, 496. 24-hour security. From €35/day and €15/night.

On the Turin-Trieste railway axis, Vicenza is well connected to the rest of Northern Italy. Trains run every hour from Vicenza to Padua, Verona and Venice. To reach Venezia Santa Lucia, allow between 45 minutes and 1 hour and 20 minutes maximum; for Verona, between 25 minutes and 1 hour; for Padua, between 15 and 30 minutes. There are also direct trains to Milan (1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes), Brescia (1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes) and Lake Garda (about 50 minutes to Peschiera del Garda). In addition, AIM city buses, lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, connect the station square to the city center.

There are regular connections to all the towns in the province of Vicenza; however, you should know that the bus journey can be longer than the train journey. For example, if you want to go to Padua, you should take the train because it takes three times less time (15 minutes). However, for other cities such as Montecchio Maggiore (30 minutes), Bassano del Grappa (1 hour), Marostica (45 minutes) and Montagnana (1 hour), the bus is probably the best solution. Ticket prices range from €2 to €11.80 depending on the destination: available at the ticket office or on the bus with a surcharge.

The bus terminal is located at the exit of the train station. Connections to Venice, Vicenza and Treviso. Line 15 takes you to the Marco Polo airport, for example. It runs between 6 am and 11 pm with a passage every half hour. The journey takes 40 to 60 minutes. The buses that serve the local bus station are also efficient for reaching the towns on Lake Garda (Bardoline, Malcesine, Torre del Benaco) as well as the towns scattered around the Euganean Mountains (Abano Terme, Montegrotto Terme, Monselice, among others).
