Used this bus stop to take a bus to Marco Polo airport. Buying tickets was painless but the wait was out in the open where the sun was searing hot. Quick and efficient transfer to the airport. Be prepared to haul your luggage across bridges as you did all through venice.

Piazzale Roma is situated just beyond the Ponte della Libertà, which connects Venice with mainland Mestre. This is the ultimate place in Venice where you can drive your car, ride bus, tram, bicycle, or motorbike. Get off the bus or tram or put your motor vehicle in a parking garage (visitors who don't want to queue at the Piazzale Roma parking garages have already left the car at Tronchetto and have taken the People Mover to Piazzale Roma). From here the assignment of the visitor of Venice is walking, walking, walking. In the direction of Rialto and San Marco or in the direction of Accademia Bridge. At first sight Piazzale Roma is nothing to write home about, with the busses, trams, cars queueing at the parking garages and the flocks of tourists, but it is the glorious starting point of a visit to fairy tale Venice, so a four point rating

Not particularly pretty, but an important location because this is where you will find the train station and the People Mover. It's a good place to start your exploration of the city or to catch a vaporetto. The Grand Canal is here and lots of buses and car parking.

A great place to arrive and depart Venice. There are trams, buses, taxis and a host of water travel options. A couple of blocks away is the People Mover to the cruise terminals, ask for directions, it is not easy to spot. The porters will help with transporting luggage across the bridge to the train station. They will offer a per luggage price, but you can negotiate if you feel it is too high.
