BY CAR
If you really want - or need! - to arrive by car, you can leave it in one of the car parks that are located close to Venice and then enter the city on foot or by water transportation.
Venice is easily to reach by car via the Highway (A4 from Trieste and Turin, A27 from Belluno, A13 from Bologna) and standard road (SS 309 Romea from the Adriatic coast from Trieste SS 14, SS 13 from Treviso, SS 11 of Padua).
Once in the nearby of the lagoon, take the Liberty Bridge, which connects literally Venice to the mainland.
The indications for Venice lead to Piazzale Roma, the farthest point that can be accessed by car.
Here it is necessary to park their car.
There are several car parks in Piazzale Roma in hourly or daily, but the less expensive alternative is the large parking Tronchetto island, reached by turning right path after the bridge across the lagoon.
Another option is to leave your car in Mestre - in the parking lots located near the entrance of the Liberty Bridge or close to the Mestre train station - and be in Venice by public transport, both bus and train.

The only train station in Venice is Saint Lucia which is close to Piazzale Roma, the bus station.
The station of Saint Lucia is connected to the rest of Italy and abroad with Eurostar, Intercity, Interregional and local.
Luggage can be easily transported out of the station using the available trucks that will be near the tracks and in the atrium, and out through the side-loading ramp.
You can leave your luggage in case (near platform 14), open daily from 06.00 to 24.00.
You can however contact the Cooperative Trasbagagli if you want to carry your bags in the city, much more problematic if you decide to move on foot.
In front of the station there is a bus ACTV, where you can catch a means of water transportation to any destination in the historic center or the islands (and if your bags are bulky, do not forget to warn the sailor , as you might have to pay a ticket for your luggage!)
Finally, if you want to get to your destination without too much effort - but spending a little 'more - in front of the station you will find water taxis, private vehicles.
