Greetings...the train we wish to take from venice to florence looks like it begins in Mestre. Any advice about whether to go straight to Mestre or to SL? The website doesn't seem to give me an option for SL to Mestre. Thanks and sorry if this has been answered but I have looked and looked! I saw Ira's post that they leave often between the 2 stations but am surprised it is not an option for the train I wish to book in the morning. Rosie

Hi R,

Some trains originate at Venice SL and some originate elsewhere and stop at Mestre.

It's a short hop from SL to M.

See http://plannerint.b-rail.be/bin/quer...n?L=profi&
for schedules between Venezia SL and Venezia Mestre. Fare is about 1E.

Rosie - If you enter Venezia S L as your departure point it will give you departure times for your connection in Mestre.

E.g. 08.14 from S L (- arr. Mestre 08.24) allows you to catch the 08.44 Eurostar from Mestre to Florence).

Hope this helps ...

Steve

Thanks Steve, Ira, one more question, is it worth getting off the vaporetto at SL or will it take just as much time with the train switch there that I should stay on to Mestre?

Hi R,

The train from SL to Mestre is only about 10 min, and drops you at the train station.
