With a hotel in Mestre you do not need an island car park.<\/li><li><strong>Length of stay:<\/strong> For 1\u20134 days the extra cost of Tronchetto buys convenience. From 5 days, parking in Mestre becomes clearly cheaper (saving more than \u20ac85 over 5 days).<\/li><li><strong>Moving luggage:<\/strong> Tronchetto + People Mover means one luggage trolley leg. Mestre + regional train means a double change. Families with children should give more weight to ease of travel.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tronchetto car park \u2014 the classic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tronchetto is an artificial island just west of the main city, with Venice&#8217;s largest car park (4,500 spaces on several levels) and a People Mover link to Piazzale Roma. For most multi-day travellers with a hotel in the old town it is the most practical compromise between price, comfort and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prices and rates 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"tv-decision-matrix\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Rate<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Price (approx.)<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Note<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Standard day ticket (24 h)<\/td><td>from <span class=\"tv-preis\" data-preis-key=\"tronchetto_tag\">\u20ac29<\/span><\/td><td>At the machine on site<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Online booking in advance<\/td><td>from \u20ac21<\/td><td>About \u20ac5\/day cheaper than turning up<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Each additional 24 h<\/td><td>\u20ac29 each (online approx. \u20ac21)<\/td><td>No multi-day flat-rate discount \u2014 the operator charges every day individually<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Esterno outdoor area<\/td><td>from \u20ac28\/day<\/td><td>For motorhomes up to 2.8 m (garage max. 2.15 m)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>People Mover ticket:<\/strong> <span class=\"tv-preis\" data-preis-key=\"people_mover\">\u20ac1.50<\/span> per trip (3-minute ride to Piazzale Roma).

Booking online saves you a drive to a sold-out garage.<\/li><li><strong>Free cancellation:<\/strong> With third-party providers that offer fair cancellation (e.g. Parclick) you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before arrival.<\/li><li><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Book 1\u20132 weeks before arrival \u2014 in peak season 3\u20134 weeks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting to Tronchetto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the A4 (Milan\u2013Venice motorway) take the &#8220;Venezia&#8221; exit, then cross the Ponte della Libert\u00e0 and take the first exit on the right onto Tronchetto.

For 5+ nights: SABA Stazione Mestre on the mainland (from \u20ac12\/day, regional train 10 minutes to the island). With a hotel right at Piazzale Roma: Autorimessa Comunale AVM (short distances with luggage). Motorhomes: Terminal Fusina with ferry.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>How much does parking at Tronchetto cost?<\/summary><div><p>From <span class=\"tv-preis\" data-preis-key=\"tronchetto_tag\">\u20ac29<\/span>\/day walk-up, from \u20ac21\/day when booked online in advance. The operator has no fixed multi-day flat rates \u2014 every further 24 h costs \u20ac29 (online approx. \u20ac21). The People Mover link to Piazzale Roma costs <span class=\"tv-preis\" data-preis-key=\"people_mover\">\u20ac1.50<\/span> per trip (separate). 40 electric-car charging points are available. Booking online is strongly recommended during Carnival, the Biennale, Redentore and the film festival \u2014 otherwise the garage is sold out.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is Park &amp; Ride Mestre worth it?<\/summary><div><p>Yes, clearly so from a stay of 5 days. SABA Stazione Mestre costs \u20ac12\/day, the regional train to Venezia Santa Lucia \u20ac1.55 per trip (10 minutes). You save \u20ac17 per day compared with Tronchetto \u2014 \u20ac85 over 5 days, \u20ac119 over 7 days. The downside: one change with luggage at Mestre station. Families may see this differently.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Where do you park a motorhome in Venice?<\/summary><div><p>Not on the island \u2014 the Tronchetto garage is limited to 2.15 m. The best place is Terminal Fusina (\u20ac18\/day + \u20ac7\/person for the ferry). Motorhomes up to 8 m are no problem, with no narrow approach via the SS309. Overnight stays are not allowed \u2014 for overnight stays use Camping Marina Venezia (Punta Sabbioni) or Camping Fusina Bella Venezia.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Are there any free car parks in Venice?<\/summary><div><p>Not on the island itself \u2014 every car park in the car-free area charges a fee. On the mainland (Mestre, Marghera) there are occasionally free residential-street spaces (marked with yellow lines) between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m., but this is unrealistic for multi-day trips. SABA Mestre (\u20ac12\/day) or Vega Marghera (\u20ac8\/day) are the cheapest plannable options.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Do I have to book Tronchetto in advance?<\/summary><div><p>In the off season (November\u2013March, excluding Carnival) you can usually find a space on the spot. In the high season (May\u2013October, plus Carnival and the film festival) booking online is strongly recommended \u2014 the garage is regularly full from 10 a.m. Booking online is also \u20ac5\/day cheaper than the walk-up rate.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>How do I get from Tronchetto to the old town?<\/summary><div><p>By People Mover \u2014 a small elevated train that runs every 3\u20135 minutes, costs <span class=\"tv-preis\" data-preis-key=\"people_mover\">\u20ac1.50<\/span> per trip and takes 3 minutes to Piazzale Roma. From there continue on foot to St Mark&#8217;s Square (35 minutes) or by vaporetto line 1 or 2 along the Grand Canal. Alternative: vaporetto line 2 directly from the Tronchetto landing stage to St Mark&#8217;s Square (~30 minutes).<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Is Tronchetto safe for parking?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. A guarded car park with 24\/7 video surveillance, several levels and a barrier system. Never leave valuables visible in the car \u2014 but that applies to all big-city car parks in Italy, not just Venice. On a multi-day stay we recommend not leaving luggage in the car, but taking it all to the hotel.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Which car park has electric-car charging points?<\/summary><div><p>Tronchetto has 40 dedicated charging points (a mix of AC and DC, up to 50 kW), operated by Interparking eMobItaly. Pay via app or QR code. Workflow: dock the car, People Mover into the city, sightseeing, return to a fully charged car. Garage San Marco has a few chargers, but limited choice. In Mestre there are several public chargers around the station.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>What happens to the car park during Acqua Alta?<\/summary><div><p>The Tronchetto and Piazzale Roma car parks are on raised ground \u2014 usually unaffected at water levels up to 110 cm. In stronger Acqua Alta above 130 cm the entrance areas can get wet, but the car park itself remains accessible. Mestre and Marghera are completely outside the Acqua Alta zone. Check current water levels before your travel day on our Acqua Alta hub.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Can I book parking and hotel together?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. Through our travel agency we put together package holidays with a hotel + Tronchetto parking from a single source \u2014 often with a hotel parking discount of 10\u201320%. You book once, receive all vouchers by email, and travel without having to make multiple online reservations. Free and non-binding.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<details><summary>Where should I book a hotel on the mainland if I do not want to stay in the old town?<\/summary><div><p>Mestre is the most popular mainland alternative \u2014 hotels 30\u201350% cheaper than on the island, with a direct rail link (10 minutes to the island). Hotels near the station (Mestre Centro, Stazione) are the easiest to reach. Alternatively: a campsite\/hotel resort in Punta Sabbioni (Cavallino-Treporti, eastern lagoon) with vaporetto line 14 to St Mark&#8217;s Square \u2014 more scenic than Mestre, but a little further away.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"tv-reisebuero-cta\"><h2>Plan your Venice trip with a secured parking space<\/h2><p>Planning a multi-day trip to Venice and want parking, hotel and travel from a single source?
