At the outset you should know that you have the option of leaving your car parked at the entrance to the city, although you have to consider whether it is really worth it.

After crossing the long liberty bridge that connects the mainland with the venice island, you arrive at the Rome Piazzale, where you will find a municipal parking lot and some other private parking.

Parking in Venice: prices

Likewise, next to this large entrance square to Venice The island is located, where there is a large parking lot.

These parking lots have capacity of between 2.500 and 3.500 vehicles.

But the first problem is that if visits Venice on the weekend or during the high holiday season, you may have long traffic jams in the aforementioned Liberty Bridge, and then, when you arrive at the parking lots, you find that there is no free space when they are full.

As for Venice parking prices, more or less comes to 3 and 4 euros each hour, with a price of about 20 euros for a 12-hour stay, and with a cost for 24 hours of between 21 and 31 euros.
