Baggage Storage in Venice
Left luggage or Deposito Bagagli
 We
often get e-mails from readers who want to know where they can store luggage
after leaving their hotels, during day trips to Venice, or when passing through Venice Marco Polo Airport, the
Venice Cruise Terminal, or the
Venice Railway Station. Here are our
suggestions:
1. When possible, use your hotel.
The simplest way to store luggage is to leave it with your hotel's front
desk. Nearly all hotels will hold bags for a few hours before you check in or
after you check out.
At smaller hotels, you can simply leave bags with the receptionist; at larger
or more expensive hotels, you'll need to store bags with the concierge or
luggage porter (who should be tipped for the service).
- Suggestion: If you have an early departure, have mobility problems, or
are just spending a night or two in Venice at the beginning or end of a
cruise, we strongly urge you to consider staying at a hotel near
your point of arrival or departure. This is far easier than hauling
luggage through the streets, on crowded water buses, or in horrendously
expensive water taxis. For hotel suggestions, see our
Venice Airport Hotels,
Venice Railway Station Hotels,
and Venice Cruise Terminal
Hotels articles.
2. Otherwise, use a deposito bagagli office.
Left-luggage offices are located at:
- The arrivals hall of Venice Marco Polo Airport,
near the post office.

for hours and rates. (The airport also has
free luggage carts.)
-
The Venice Santa Lucia Railway Station,
near track 1.
(The last time we checked, hours were 6 a.m. to midnight.)
- The Piazzale Roma (where buses and taxis
enter and leave Venice). See Cooperativa Trasbaglia Venezia's
English-language
Where We Are
page, which lists current hours, and
click here for a Google satellite map with a pushpin icon that shows the
location of the deposito bagagli office. (Note: The office is
separate from the Cooperativa's waterside headquarters building.)
-
The Venice Cruise Terminal's
Marittima and San Basilio buildings, where left-luggage offices are normally
open on days when cruise ships are arriving and departing.
