Practical Information for Visiting Venice
Cars are not permitted in Venice. Your driver drops you off at Piazzale Roma car park or at Santa Lucia railway station, from where you walk or take a vaporetto to the centre. Venice charges a tourist fee for day visitors during certain periods. We recommend checking current information before your visit. Restaurants near St. Mark's Square are expensive; better value is found in restaurants in the interior of the city, away from the main tourist routes.
