More than one train station in Venice
 

Is there more than one train station in Venice? We're coming from Florence. <BR>Thank you

The train station you're looking for is Venezia S. Lucia. The other one is really in Mestre, not Venice (called Venezia Mestre). Most trains go all the way to Venice proper. A few go only to Mestre, where you would have to change. You may use the FS site feeding it with Firenze and Venezia S. Lucia to get the picture. <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR> <BR>

Fodors <BR> <BR>As Paulo says, there are two. On the mainland is Venice Mestre, and trains that are in a hurry from Florence to Trieste stop there only. These two are the Miramare (Florence 1123) and the Ippolito Nievo (Florence 1706). But far the most roll along a causeway over the grey lagoon to the Santa Lucia station, out on a main island. <BR> <BR>You leave your train, walk out of the front of the station, and will want to stop thinking about anything for two minutes, to take in the view. Venice is one of the great train arrivals of Europe, comparable for beauty to arrival in Edinburgh. <BR> <BR>In front of the station and a little to the left you see the waterbus station, with boats in all directions, including that of your hotel. <BR> <BR>Please write if I can help further <BR> <BR>Ben Haines, London <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

Ben is much too conservative in his description of the sight that awaits you when you leave Venezia S. Lucia. It is one of life's great moments! Thrilling is the word! I can only compare that sighting my first view of the Grand Canyon!

Stepping out the "front door" of the Venice station on a sunny morning for the first time -- what a thrill. But let's not sell America short. I remember getting off a troop train and entering New York's Grand Central for the first time. I dreamed that it was what Rome would have looked like had Cecil B. DeMille been its cost-plus contractor.

Thank you everyone! <BR>Now I'm looking forward to that first view.... <BR>Alex <BR>By the way, anytime you need info on Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, or the surrounding area, let me know!

What would the hotel prices be in early <BR>July in venice? <BR>would i need a reservation for a nights <BR>stay for two? <BR>any suggestion will be appreciated. <BR>Same think for Milan, if possible. <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR>paul laskaris <BR>[email protected]
