Parclick offers you several car parks near Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. If you arrive by car, Parclick recommends that you park in Piazzale Roma, the only area of Venice that you can drive around in, or in Venezia Mestre, on the mainland, which is well connected to the islands of the lagoon by the Ponte della Libertà bridge, either by one of the many public transport buses or directly by train from Venice Mestre to Venice Santa Lucia Station. We can tell you that these are in fact the best options for parking near Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and also in general throughout Venice, since there are no roads in the city – just waterways by vaporetto or gondola.
