Vennezia S. Lucia to Trieste Centrale is 2.5 hours (one change) or 3 hours (no change). Only a few trains from Venezia Mestre take 2 hours.

Are there taxi stands outside the station? A tram stop nearby?

Same question for Verona--are there taxi stands at the station?

Is it wise to split the time between Padua and Verona? Or just base in one and do a daytrip to the other?
we stayed at the "Grand Italia" at the train station ... gr8 breakfast .. book direct with the hotel .... 2 min walk to the train station .. and buses are also right there ... street car takes u into town too ... what's not to like?
