1. What I recommend to you to park in Venice

Did you know that no cars, bicycles, or scooters are allowed in the historic center of Venice? No cars are allowed in Venice. Immediately when you drive into the city, you have to park in Venice in the inside car parks or parking spaces in Tronchettto or Piazzale Roma square.

But there are also other possibilities. For example, parking in Mestre. It is much cheaper there. It can save € 30 per day. Moreover, parking in Venice outside the city is well organized with transport and public transport shuttle services.

I think the Delfino Autorimessa car park is also a good option. It is only a 10-minute walk from the station and is perfect if you are going to catch a train. In addition, this parking lot is entirely guarded. Plus, if you don't like walking, that's fine too! There is a bus station. To reach the station, you need to grab number 15.

4. Leave the car keys in your car

Parking Venice San Marco

This is the garage where you have to leave the keys 'Garage, San Marco'. This is also directly the most expensive garage and the closest parking in Venice. I parked here once, and I was also surprised when I handed over my keys.

If you ask them why you have to hand over the car key, they will tell you that they can move the car if necessary. Because you will find that this is a garage that is so packed that there is little room to manoeuvre.

Others say they do this to move the car and rent out the free parking spaces for the 2nd time. My experience was excellent and safe. But I understand from many visitors that leaving your car keys behind remains challenging. Especially if you still have luggage in the car, I don't know any annoying messages.

Reserve your San Marco Parking Spot here >

But you can also...

5. Prefer another parking in Venice

Parking 2: Autorimessa Comunale ASM Tel. +39 041 2727211, 24 - hour rate € 26.00. This parking is the most substantial parking garage in Venice. Maximum vehicle height is 220cm. It’s on the right before you reach Piazzale Roma. It is a five-store industrial looking building. The locations of all the car rental companies are on the lower floor.

Despite the building being clearly visible, you are easily distracted by the many impressions when you have just crossed the bridge. So pay attention during Parking in Venice!
