It’s time to take a train to Venice! But how do you get there from nearby train stations and European cities? I will describe it here…

Train to Venice Italy, beautiful scenery!From Munich (Germany) to Venice Italy. Enjoy the view!

The train station in Venice itself is called 'Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia.' The station is next to the Grand Canal. And yes, it happened to me too. If your train stops at "Mestre," you will doubt where to get off the train. Because the station in Mestre is called 'Venezia Mestre.'

But this Mestre station is on the mainland. So Venice is more than 12 minutes on the train! And when you arrive at the station 'Santa Lucia,' you must go down the stairs and continue your journey on foot or a vaporetto boat.
Please show me how to get...
