Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia

Venice Santa Lucia Train Station

Your gateway for rail travel in and out of Venice.

What makes it special

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.
