Hotels on the T1 tram line to Venice

ABOVE: A T1 tram from Mestre arrives at Piazzale Roma, the gateway to Venice's historic center.

ACTV, Venice's transit authority, opened a new T1 tram line between Mestre and Venice's Piazzale Roma in September, 2015. (An older line, the T2, runs on a different route within Mestre and surrounding areas.)

A hotel along the T1 tram route is worth considering if you're traveling by car, because you can park your car in Mestre, jump on the tram, and reach Venice in 15 minutes or so. (Parking in Mestre is much cheaper than in Venice, and many of the hotels on this page offer free parking.)

Please note:

Most of the hotels on this page are along the eastern half of the T1 tram line (the red line between Mestre Centro (Piazzale Caldini) and Venezia Piazzale Roma) on this map. You may need to walk two or three blocks from your hotel to the nearest stop.
Trams run about every ten minutes from early morning until late evening. You can buy ACTV tram/bus tickets at tobacconists, newsstand, and most hotel reception desks. (Be sure to validate your ticket by holding it against the electronic reader after boarding.)
