Venezia is connected by railway to every major city in Italy and to the rest of Europe.

The main railway station (Stazione F.S. "Venezia Santa Lucia") is on the “Canal Grande” ( Grand Canal) in the Northwest corner of the city.

Some through trains do not terminate at Santa Lucia, stopping instead at the “Venezia-Mestre" railway Station on the mainland.

All trains travelling 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 travelling on Intercity and Eurocity trains, and that if you do not pay it before boarding, you are liable for a fine.

Please check the European train schedule www.raileurope.com (in case you are travelling by train from Europe) or the Italian train schedule www.trenitalia.it (if you are getting to Venezia from another Italian city).

 

From Venezia “Santa Lucia” railway station you can walk (15-20 minutes) to the selected Hotel or catch a "Vaporetto" public boat/streamer, to the stop closest to your final destination (Hotel or San Servolo Isle Symposium venue)
