IF YOU ARRIVE BY TRAIN
(part
of Location)
ARRIVAL
BY TRAIN:
From Venice Santa Lucia Railway station to Piazzale
Roma : when you get off the train go to the end of the binary, pass the
shops straight on, until you arrive to the main glass doors that lead you outside.
Once outside, the canal you see in front of you is the GRAND CANAL. Go down the
steps until you arrive in the esplanade. You will see on your left, the big Ponte
Dei Scalzi which crosses over the Grand Canal and in front of you the main vaporetto
(water bus) yellow stop called "Ferrovia" (meaning railway station), you have
here the ticket booth, for single, daily, 3 days, weekly tickets. You have 3 main
vaporetto stops in the Santa Lucia railway station all called "Ferrovia" depending
on which vaporetto number you take and which directions you go to.
From
Piazzale Roma to the Hotel : Hotel "Locanda Salieri" is situated
just 3 minutes walking distance from Venice Piazzale Roma. Piazzale Roma is the
Main parking for cars, terminal for busses and taxis and has it's vaporetto stop
(water bus) called "Piazzale Roma". To go to the Hotel "Locanda Salieri"
from Piazzale Roma, we suggest you to follow the red arrows in our well detailed.
To go from the Venice Santa Lucia Railway station to the Hotel "Locanda
Salieri" :
1) By vaporetto : The vaporetto
crosses the Grand Canal from the "Ferrovia" (railway station) to "Piazzale Roma".
There is only 1 stop , takes 5 minutes, ask for the "traghetto" ticket (special
price for just crossing over), cost of the ticket 1,80 per person and 1,80 Euros
per luggage if rigid and bigger then 50cm x 50cm. Hand luggages like trolleys
and soft bags don't pay. If interested in using the vaporetto for more days, ask
the personnel of the ticket booth before taking your one way ticket. If you are
going to take the vaporetto often, this will save you money if you take a day,
3 days, 7 days ticket or taking a ticket combined with the entrance of the museums
(Venice Card) for 1 or more days : For more information look at : Venice
Card
2) By foot : If you do not have too
many luggages, we suggest you walk to the Hotel "Locanda Salieri". It
will take you 10 minutes walking normally. You need to cross the Grand Canal passing
over the Ponte Dei Scalzi bridge and then follow the arrows our well explained
map.
After the Scalzi bridge, you will not have any other bridges to cross, it is a
big one, but the only one! Once on the other side, at the bottom of the bridge,
turn right and go straight on leaving the Grand Canal on you right until you arrive
at the foot of a little bridge. Do not go over the bridge but turn left just before
it and follow the Canal dei Tolentini leaving it on your right. Go straight
on, even if the canal curves, follow the curve right and then an elbow left :
there you will arrive in Canal del Gaffaro (our canal!). You are now in
Fondamenta Minotto - 30 meters down the street and we are on your left.
