Wayne,<BR><BR>Relax, it's an easy trip!<BR><BR>You take the shuttle bus from Marco Polo airport to the Venezia Mestre train station where there are frequent departures for Rome.<BR>Web site for the shuttle bus:<BR>http://www.atvo.it/eng/airport.php?ld=index_fly.php&id=1<BR><BR>The fastest and nicest trains are called Eurostar and are a little more expensive than the intercity trains.<BR><BR>Just buy your ticket at the station as you never know when your plane is going to land... you could purchase in advance on<BR>www.trenitalia.com<BR>Check the site out for train schedules and print out the train connections you're most likely to take - that way you can show them to the teller at the ticket window and he'll know exactly what you want.<BR><BR>Buon viaggio!<BR>Andre

I see there are 2 train stations in Venice. Is Maestre the one that is most centrally located? Thanks!

Andre

Lyn,<BR><BR>MESTRE is on the mainland and convenient to the airport, NOT the city.<BR><BR>If you're travelling to/from Venice proper, you want to use SANTA LUCIA(S.L.) station.<BR><BR>Andre

Andre - thanks for the information about the two locations. Looks like we want the S.L. station for sure.
