It is, of course, much more pleasant to drive directly to Venice, park the car, walk a bit, and you are there. And you accept if you still have to go by train or bus.

But in Venice, you have to consider parking rates between €5- €35- per 24 hours. So for three days in Venice by car, you will easily spend €100 to park your vehicle.

Keep in mind that I prefer to park the car near Venice. It saves time and extra transport costs if you still have to take the tram, bus or train from your parking spot. I find it more comfortable to park my car close to the city.

Where can you park the car in Venice?

Venice Italy Parking

No.1. Venice Italy Parking: The closest parking is at Piazzale Roma. The most expensive with prices between €25 - €35. But most comfortable if you go to Venice and want to enjoy your time in the city.

Around this square, you have several parking garages to park your car in Venice. It can be quite a busy square because all buses, trams, and taxis arrive here with tourists and other day-trippers. But the entrances to the parking garages are clearly marked.

No.2. Car Parking in Venice: Other parking spaces are also close to Venice. That is at the Tronchetto parking. This is on a reclaimed piece of land where cruise boats depart, and a lot of storage/transshipment takes place to transport things further in Venice. With the 'PeopleMover' (Monorail), you can quickly reach Venice from the Tronchetto. Parking at Tronchetto has a fixed rate of €22 per day.

Another area with spacious parking spaces is behind the terminal buildings of the Marittima cruise basin. This is the best option if you will leave the city on a cruise. Here you can park the car for a more extended period.

No. 3. Cheaper parking in Venice: The mainland has a few examples. You can find more affordable parking spaces there. For instance, in Mestre or Marghera there are also hotels where you can park. In addition, you can quickly get to Venice by train or bus.
