Sestiere Cannaregio
Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia Train Station
Your gateway for rail travel in and out of Venice.
Highlights
Fascinating history
From Venice's first connection to the mainland with the nearly 4km (2.4mi) railway bridge completed in 1845, to the demolition of the homonymous church and the establishment of the current rationalist fascist design.
The only station
Unlike other European cities with multiple train stations, Venice's unique location within a lagoon has historically made rail travel difficult.
Well connected
Every day, around 450 trains enter the station, including high-speed trains.
Why visit
While not a tourist attraction per se, it's the main access point for trips in and out of Venice.
Tips
Day trips
Take the train to Treviso, Padua, Ferrara and even Verona.
Regional train ticket prices are quite affordable.
Luggage storage
