meeting place

Is there a nice cafe near to the train station in Venice where I could meet up with a friend?

Train stations environs are generally not so cozy because of their transient nature. However, I do recalled an internet cafe, Venice Internet Point, very near the train station (across the street from the Casanova Disco). By the way, they will burn you a CD with all your digital pics, in case you want to get that out of the way while waiting....

Thanks for the net cafe tip, Viajero. I printed it out for our future trip this fall.

Do you mean Mestre or Santa Lucia (there are two train stations in Venice)?

At Santa Lucia I know there's a large cafe/cafeteria right IN the train station. Or another good meeting place would be simply on the steps in front.

Try the Belini Hotel, a couple buildings down from the main stazzione.

I believe that the station that the ESP from Florence comes in at is SL. Am I correct?

ESP? Extrasensory perception? I know the Italian trains are good, but I haven't yet encountered one with ESP.

Not ALL trains from Florence go to Santa Lucia; those that continue to Trieste only go to Venezia Mestre. But there are commuter trains between Mestre and Santa Lucia.

Hi t,

Yes, you want the train to San Lucia, not Mestre.
