From the
historic center
Once you are in
the historic center of Venice, the island of San Servolo
can be reached either by public transportation (there are
hourly boats running to and from the island from in front
of the Londra Palace Hotel) or by private taxi. Taxis can
cost from 80.000 Itl. to 150.000 Itl. one way. The public
boats n° 20 to San Servolo leave from San Marco in front
of the Londra Palace Hotel, Riva degli Schiavoni. Tickets
cost 6.000 Itl. The most economic option is to buy a
daily, weekly or monthly pass.

> Water and land Taxis:
you can take a private water taxi directly to your final
destination (which is an expensive choice. From the
airport to San Servolo costs about 150.000 Liras) or you
can take a land taxi to Piazzale Roma, and from there
catch a public boat, called a "vaporetto", to
the stop closest to your final destination.
From Piazzale Roma to San Servolo
By car
If you bring a
car to Venice, you will have to pay for a garage or
parking space during your stay. The last stops in Venice
where you can leave your car are called "Piazzale
Roma" and "Tronchetto". Parking at
"Piazzale Roma" in the parking lot run by the
city costs between 15,000 and 25,000 lire, and at the
private Garage San Marco (next door) it costs between
30,000 and 45,000 lire for 24 hours, depending on the
size of the car. To reach the privately run
"Tronchetto" parking area, as you come into
Venice, follow the signs and turn right before
"Piazzale Roma". Warning: Do not be waylaid by
illegal touts - often wearing fake uniforms - who may try
to flag you down and offer to arrange parking and hotels.
Instead, continue on until you reach the automatic ticket
machines. Parking here costs around 35,000 lire for 24
hours. (Do not leave valuables in the car. There is a
luggage deposit office, open daily 8 AM-8 PM, next to the
Pullman Bar on the ground floor of the municipal garage
at "Piazzale Roma".) Another solution is to
park your car in front of the train station in Mestre.
Parking here costs much less (around 8,000 ITL per day),
and there are frequent trains and buses between Mestre
and Venice Piazzale Roma: see ACTV Home Page, schedule for Bus n°
2).
From Piazzale Roma to San Servolo
By train
Venice has rail
connections with every major city in Italy and the rest
of Europe. The main train station (Stazione F.S. Venezia
S. Lucia) is on the Grand Canal in the northwest corner
of the city. Some through trains do not terminate at
Santa Lucia, stopping only at the Venezia-Mestre Station
on the mainland. All trains traveling to and from Santa
Lucia stop at Mestre, so to get from Venezia-Mestre to
Santa Lucia, or vice versa (a 10-minute trip), take the
first available train, remembering there is a supplemento
(extra charge) for traveling on Intercity and Eurocity
trains, and that if you do not pay it before boarding,
you are liable for a fine. You can also check the European train schedule in case you are arriving
by train from Europe or the Italian train schedule if you are getting to
Venice from another Italian city.
