Baggage Storage
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 easiest 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. (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).
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.
Tip: For
current rates and hours of the deposito bagagli offices at
Piazzale Roma and Marco Polo Airport, see the "Luggage Storage" section of
Cooperativa Trasgagagli Venezia's English-language
Services page.
