Things to Do in Mestre

Staying at one of the Mestre hotels near the charming Piazza Ferretto, Mestre's historic pedestrian market, puts you in the centre of the action. Admire the facade of the Duomo di San Lorenzo and ogle the Torre dell'Orologio, an ancient watchtower that has stood tall above the square since the 1100s. Enjoy people-watching and listening to local gossip while sipping an espresso at one of several outdoor cafés. Later, head to Parco San Guilliano to catch a summertime concert and savour views of the Venice lagoon. “Boat” wait, there's more! Once you've had your fill of Mestre's amenities, hop on one of the vaporetti (water buses) over to the canals of Venice.

Getting To & Around Mestre

Once you touch down at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), catch an AVTO Fly Bus to the Mestre Railway. Save time by purchasing tickets in advance or simply visit a counter in arrivals or one of several on-site vending machines. Our car hire options can also take you straight to the countryside. The centre of Mestre is pedestrian-based and parking can be expensive, so sit back, relax and take advantage of local buses and vaporetti that can transport you between your Mestre accommodation and wherever you want to go.
