Venice is connected to the mainland (Venezia Mestre) by the “Ponte della Libertà”, 4 km long, which allows road vehicles and trains to travel to the lagoon. The bridge leads to the Cruise Terminal, to the “Tronchetto” and “Piazzale Roma” terminals and to the Railway Station. Vehicles cannot pass beyond these terminals, so those arriving by car must park and those arriving by train must alight at Venezia Saint Lucia Railway Station.
