The main train shed is directly behind the station hall or lobby. Most
long-distance trains arrive here.
-
Another set of railway platforms is to the right of the station as you
arrive from the mainland; this is used mainly by local and regional trains.
To reach the station hall, bear left as you leave the train platform.

If
you're traveling with wheeled luggage, a stroller, or a wheelchair, you may
find it easier to bypass the crowded station hall on your way
out. In the main train shed, head toward the toilets near the left end of
the station and go through the passage at the corner. Once you're outdoors,
turn right at the sign and and follow the pavement down to the canal. See
our photo guide to the
wheelchair, stroller, and wheeled-luggage exit for more details.

The Venice Tourist Office operates a small branch inside the station,
but it tends to be busy, and the staff aren't always helpful. If you see a
long line, skip the tourist office and buy a map at a newsstand or bookstore
instead.
