Parking in Venice

You cannot drive into the historic centre of Venice: the road ends just after the Ponte della Libertà, at Piazzale Roma and on the island of Tronchetto. There you can book three guarded garages with Parclick from 35 € a day. Parking on the mainland is cheaper: from 20 € a day in Mestre, or 7 € a day in San Giuliano plus the ferry.

Distances are in a straight line. The three garages at Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto are guarded: at Garage San Marco you leave your keys with the staff, at the Autorimessa Comunale the staff show you where to park (covered spaces are allocated according to availability), and at Tronchetto an attendant checks your booking at the entrance. With the car valet you call the staff 45 minutes before you reach Piazzale Roma and at least 2 hours before you leave; you hand over and collect the car on the square. You can charge an electric car at Ca' Marcello and at the SABA car park in Mestre. Each car park page shows the map with the entrance.

Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto?

The price is similar: 35 € for 24 hours at the Autorimessa Comunale at Piazzale Roma, usually the same at the Venezia Center Parking Garage on Tronchetto, and 45 € at Garage San Marco. At Piazzale Roma you get out of the car at the edge of the old town, about 400 m in a straight line from Santa Lucia station for the Autorimessa Comunale. From Tronchetto, the AVM People Mover takes you to Piazzale Roma in a few minutes for 1.50 €. On the busiest days the car parks at Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto fill up and the city diverts cars to the mainland; booking ahead, you know in advance where you will park and what it costs.

Cheap parking in Venice: parking outside Venice in Mestre, San Giuliano and Fusina

The cheapest parking for Venice is on the mainland. The three options, from the cheapest:

• San Giuliano: at Marive Parking+Ferry, parking costs 7 € a day; you pay the ferry to Fondamenta Nove on site, 10 € return per adult (8 € for ages 6–17, free under 6). More options on the Parco San Giuliano parking page.
• Fusina: at Terminal Fusina you pay 9 € for up to 12 hours and 13.50 € for 24 hours; the ferry to the Zattere is not included. See parking at Terminal Fusina.
• Mestre: Delfino Autorimessa 20 € a day, Ca' Marcello 22 € and SABA Stazione di Venezia Mestre, about 100 m from the station, 25.50 €. From Mestre the train takes a few minutes to Santa Lucia. More car parks on the Venice Mestre train station parking page.

If three or more adults are going for the day, add up the tickets: at Piazzale Roma you pay 35 € for the car park and need no ferry or train ticket to reach the old town.

Park and ride in Venice: shuttle or car valet

There are two ways to avoid parking at the water's edge yourself. With a shuttle car park the car stays in Mestre: Venice Utility Park takes you to Piazzale Roma on a free shuttle from 9:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00 (call the car park to arrange your seat). If you would rather not park at all, the MarcoPolo car valet takes your car at Piazzale Roma and returns it there: 50 € for one day, 65 € for three.

Is there free parking in Venice?

Not in the old town: there are no streets, and there is no street parking at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto. You can park on the street in Mestre: the AVM blue zones (strisce blu) cost 0.80 to 1.20 € an hour and are payable Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00 to 20:00; on Sundays and public holidays they are free, except in the Vega zone, which has its own rules. The street works for a short stop; for a whole day, a car park means no time limit and no risk of a fine. The lowest daily rate you can book is Marive in San Giuliano, 7 € plus the ferry.

Overnight parking in Venice

If you are staying the night or coming back late, choose a car park that is open 24 hours: Garage San Marco and the Autorimessa Comunale at Piazzale Roma, or SABA and Ca' Marcello in Mestre (Ca' Marcello has set check-in times). The Venezia Center Parking Garage on Tronchetto opens from 7:00 to 23:59, and Terminal Fusina from 7:30 to 19:00. At the Autorimessa Comunale a booking covers up to 7 days.

Can you drive to Venice? Ponte della Libertà, ZTL and access fee

The only road between the mainland and Venice is the Ponte della Libertà, about 4 km long. It leads to Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto. At Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto there is no ZTL for cars, because the road ends there; the ZTL Bus only applies to coaches. A car ferry runs from Tronchetto to the Lido.

On the days of the city calendar, day visitors aged 14 and over who enter the old town pay an access fee (contributo di accesso): 5 € if you pay at least 4 days ahead, 10 € after that. If you park at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto and walk on into the old town on one of those days, you pay it; if you stay at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, you do not. People staying overnight in the municipality of Venice (who must register), residents of the Veneto region and children under 14 are exempt. In 2026 the fee applied on 60 days between April and July; for 2027 the city has approved more days, so check the official calendar on cda.ve.it before you travel.

Maximum vehicle heights

The garages at Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto take vehicles up to 2.10–2.20 m high, and those in Mestre up to 2.00–2.05 m. The highest limits are at Terminal Fusina (7 m), Marive in San Giuliano (5 m) and Venice Utility Park (4.5 m). With a large van or motorhome, check the length and width on each car park page before you book.

Cruise, airport, stations and San Marco

If you are leaving on a cruise, you will find car parks with shuttle or car valet on the parking for cruises in Venice page; if you are flying, see parking at Venice Marco Polo Airport. For the station in the old town there is parking near Venice Santa Lucia, for St Mark's Square parking near San Marco, and for the busiest week of winter parking for the Venice Carnival.
