Our 3-week trip in Italy will start and end in Venice. 4 days in Venice prior to cruise and then off to Padua and verona. Will be taking train from Verona back to Venice for flight home. have booked an overnight at the Marriott Venice Airport as flight leaves at 10:00am. what is the best way to get from train to airport. Once at airport, I can get a shuttle to the hotel.

No train goes to Marco Polo.

Are you going to Marriot from Mestre train station or from Santa Lucia in Venice?

If you are coming FROM Padova, you will arrive at Mestre station first, then Santa Lucia if taking the train.

To go to Venice Airport to get the shuttle to the Marriott, you will pass the Marriott on the way.

From Verona, I would take the train to Venezia Mestre, the train station on the mainland just before the causeway to the island of Venice. From there, I'd take a taxi to the Marriott. There might be a bus from Mestre station that passes the Marriott before arriving at the airport.

Your hotel's website (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/local...enice-airport/) claims there's a "shuttle service" (whatever that's supposed to mean) from both local railway stations

Why not ask the hotel the question?

thanks Flanneruk......I thought the shuttle was to and from airport. Will check on that. thanks for all the advice.
