Hotels on the T1 tram line to Venice
From: Venice Mestre & Marghera
Hotels Page 4
Continued from page 3
ABOVE: A T1 tram from Mestre arrives at Piazzale
Roma, the gateway to Venice's historic center.
ACTV,
Venice's transit authority, opened a new T1
tram line between Mestre and Venice's Piazzale Roma in
September, 2015. (An older line, the T2, runs on a different route within Mestre
and surrounding areas.)
A hotel along the T1 tram route is worth considering if you're
traveling by car, because you can park your car in Mestre, jump on the tram, and
reach Venice in 15 minutes or so. (Parking in Mestre is much cheaper than in
Venice, and many of the hotels on this page offer free parking.)
If you've arriving or departing by air or rail, we suggest
staying closer to the Venezia Mestre
railroad station and its ATVO Fly Bus
stop. (See our listings for Mestre
hotels and Marghera hotels near the
station.) Still, for air travelers, there is another option: Take the
Venice airport bus from Marco
Polo airport to Venice's Piazzale Roma,
then catch a T1 tram to your hotel.
Please note:
-
Most of the hotels on this page are along the eastern half
of the T1 tram line (the red line between
Mestre Centro (Piazzale Caldini) and
Venezia Piazzale Roma) on
this map. You may need to walk two or three blocks from your hotel to
the nearest stop.
-
Trams run about every ten minutes from early morning until
late evening. ACTV has a
timetable in PDF format that shows feriale (weekday) and festivo
(Sunday and holiday) schedules. You can buy ACTV tram/bus tickets at
tobacconists, newsstand, and most hotel reception desks. (Be sure to
validate your ticket by holding it against the electronic reader after
boarding.)
