There are
two train stations that hold the name Venice. Venice-Mestre, the penultimate
stop before arriving at Venice central station. If your train only travels
to this destination you will need to change trains here in order to
continue your journey to Venice - Santa Lucia, this is the central train
station for Venice. On leaving the train station and arriving on the
water's edge, you will be able to take the public water transport to
the rest of the city. The water bus stop for the train station is Ferrovia.
Public
Water Transport from the Venice Santa Lucia Train Station
The vaporetti, or public water buses run 24 hours a day, although much
less frequently after 24.00. A number of lines travel different routes
at varying speeds, throughout the City. You will need to by a ticket
before bording. Tickets cost € 3.50 for a one way journey and this
price does not include the luggage supplement. The principle boat numbers

along the Grand Canal and is the slower route
Number 82 - a circular route throughout Venice, leaving in two
directions from Ferrovia. Anti-clockwise to Piazza San Marco stopping
at Tronchetto, the Island of Giudecca, Zattere and finally at the Piazza
San Marco boat stop. Clockwise going through the Grand Canal stopping
at Rialto, Accademia and Piazza San Marco and finally arriving at Venice
Lido.
Number 41 - a circular route around the Island of Venice, stopping
at Piazzale Roma, the Giudecca Island, Piazza San Marco and continuing

not go through the Grand Canal but goes around the north of the island
