Venice Railway Station — is connected to the rest of Italy with Eurostar trains, Intercities and Interregional and local trains, including fast trains from central Rome Italy, Florence Santa Maria Italy and Milan city centre, Italy.
Santa Lucia was built during the 1860’s and got its name from the Convent of Santa Lucia, which had to be demolished to make way for the station. The rail station has been transformed several times over the years, with the current concourse opened in the 1960’s.
Nowadays the rail station is a modern building and is connected to the Grand Canal. The station is a great entrance to the antique city of Venice that has attracted international tourists and high profile events.
Some through trains do not terminate at Santa Lucia train station, stopping only at the Venezia-Mestre Railway Station on the mainland. All trains traveling to and from Santa Lucia stop at Mestre. A shuttle train service operates between Santa Lucia St and Venice’s other rail station (Venezia Mestre) which is located on the mainland.
Both Santa Lucia and Venezia Mestre are operated by the Italian company, Grandi Stazioni, and linked to each other by the Ponte della Libertà, or Liberty Bridge.
This busy station sees nearly 500 train movements a day, including national, regional and local suburban routes. It is also the final stop of the iconic Venice Simplon Orient Express.
If your Venice accommodation is away from Santa Lucia, and in the heart of the city, you will find it easy to get there either on Vaporetto Water Taxis, or on the People Mover Transit system. Or, for a real touch of old Venice, take a traditional gondola and be serenaded en-route.
Venice, city of water is one of the most romantic places to visit in the world, with accommodation ranging from cheap and cheerful hostels, to truly luxurious hotels.
When you visit the city you will discover sights that have changed little in the last 600 years, since Venice was reclaimed from lagoon waters.
Although part of the city is located on the mainland, most tourists head for the historic centre, spread across 118 islands, linked by canals and atmospheric bridges, such as the famous Bridge of Sighs, an enclosed bridge of white limestone. This beautiful bridge was built to link the Doge’s Palace to the New Prison.
Wherever your hotels are in Venice Italy, you’ll be close to its sights and the canals lined with beautiful old palaces. Be sure to spend time in St Mark’s Square, people watching over a coffee or al-fresco lunch, before visiting the Tower of St Mark’s and the Doge’s Palace.
Venice is full of wonderful museums for all the family, including the famous Glass Museum on the Island of Murano, the Museo of Fortuny and the Naval History Museum.
Time zone — GMT + 1 (GMT + 2 from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October)
Currency — Euro
Language — Italian, of course, is the language of the land, but English is generally understood at most attractions such as museums and at most hotels and restaurants that cater to visitors.
Electricity — The electricity in Italy varies considerably. It’s usually alternating current (AC), varying from 42 to 50 cycles. The voltage can be anywhere from 115 to 220.
Air Connections — Venice is served by the newly rebuilt Marco Polo International Airport, or Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo, named in honor of its famous citizen.
The airport is on the mainland and was rebuilt away from the coast, however the water taxis or Alilaguna waterbus’ to Venice are only a seven minute walk from the terminals. Some airlines market Treviso Airport in Treviso, 20km from Venice, as a Venice gateway.
