Getting Venice
There are several ways of getting to Venice:
By car
The bridge Ponte della Libertà links Venice to the mainland and ends at Piazzale Roma, the only section of the city where cars can enter. There are several indoor and outdoor car parks in Piazzale Roma that vary in the parking fees asked: find the fees they apply and choose one that is most convenient for you. You can also park at the Tronchetto, which you reach by turning right immediately at the end of the Ponte della Libertà bridge, just before you get to Piazzale Roma. At the Tronchetto there are some indoor and outdoor car parks. You can get to the city center easily from both these points by vaporetto (the Venice water buses), water taxi or on foot.
By plane
Marco Polo Venice Airport is an airport situated on the Italian mainland near Venice, Italy, in Tessera, a frazione of the commune of Venice nearest to Mestre that, before Fascism, was an autonomous commune. You can get to the city from the "Marco Polo" airport in various ways: by water taxi, by the Alilaguna motor boat or using the "Venezia Air Terminal" bus.
By train
If you visit Venice by train, you will arrive at the Santa Lucia Railway Station, a big building situated at the beginning of the Grand Canal in the Santa Croce area of the city. It is easy to reach the city center on foot walking down the Strada Nuova or by taking the water bus from one of the jetties that are opposite the station.
