Italo’s Prima Class offers a fast track from baggage check-in at the station and as well as complimentary hot and cold drinks and snacks.
With around 32 services a day to choose from, if you want to step off the train and start into the heart of the city, make sure you’re traveling to Venice Santa Lucia station rather than Venice Mestre – the latter is located on the mainland and you’ll have to take another train or bus to reach the center.
