If you want to travel to the port by car, you can find the ferry port located at the exit of the famous bridge, the Ponte della Libertà. For the Marittima section, exit at the first set of traffic lights, while exiting at the second set of traffic will take you to the S Basilio area.

You have the opportunity to arrange car rental on-the-spot once you arrive in Venice. The city represents a number of well-established and reputed hire firms. However, we recommend that you book your private vehicle hire in advance online, where a reliable supplier provides the most attractive car hire deals from companies including Alamo, Hertz, Thrifty, Budget and National.

Rail from Venice Port

Santa Lucia (Stazione Ferroviaría) is the principal railway station in Venice, offering routes to other Italian cities and towns as well as to international localities. The train station has a modern structure that looks out of place in a city where the majority of buildings are centuries old. The station provides sufficient facilities for travellers.

Water Taxis from Venice Port

The fastest and most convenient way to travel around the city of Venice is by water taxi. Water taxis are especially convenient when it is raining, as the boats have closed cabins. Services are available at one of the water taxi ranks, or your hotel can arrange a water taxi. Often it is possible to pay the taxi fee at the hotel. Waiting time, night service and baggage is charged as extra. In Italy, it is unusual to tip taxi drivers.
