Marco Polo Airport
The
Venice Marco Polo Airport is located 4.3 miles (8 km) to the north of Venice. It is Venice’s busiest international airport.
By train
Another way of getting to the “Serenissima” is by train. Venice’s central train station, Venezia Santa Lucia railway station, connects the city with numerous countries and other Italian towns. It is an interesting option since you can take a low-cost flight to Milan and from there, take the train to Venice.
The train is also the easiest and most comfortable way of getting to Rome or Florence, and thus a great option for travelers exploring the country.
By car
Venice isn’t the best place to drive to, since only a small part of the island is accessible to motor vehicles. Thus, you will have to leave your car in one of the following parking lots:
- Garage San Marco (30 euros per day), in Piazzale Roma.
- Garage Autorimessa Comunale (€23.40 per day), in Piazzale Roma.
- Garage Tronchetto, located in the island of Tronchetto. If you purchase the Rolling Venice Card you can get a discount. It costs €21 per day.
Venice, Italy
Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower.
