Cars are not allowed in the main part of Venice, so it is recommended to park at one of the garages in Piazzale Roma or on the island of Tronchetto, just off the Ponte della Libertà , which connects Venice to the mainland. From Piazzale Roma, you can continue by foot, vaporetto, or water taxi.
Buses arrive at the Piazzale Roma terminal from many Italian cities. From here, you can easily transition to water transportation or walk into the central parts of Venice.
