Majestic Mestre
Mestre is fantastically located just 15 minutes by public transport from Venice, a magical city of islands and canals. Mestre makes an affordable base for visiting its famous (and often crowded) neighbour, but has plenty to offer in its own right, from a charming historic quarter, to a host of places to eat, drink and shop. The Piazza Ferretto, overlooked by a handsome clock tower, is the showpiece main square, and has lots of inviting cafés under the arcades. You can hop on the handy tram, train or bus to be in the heart of gorgeous Venice in just a few minutes.

Your guide to Mestre holidays

Top attractions
Mestre is perfectly located just a short hop by tram, train or bus from the centre of Venice. It’s a fantastic base for visiting the gorgeous city of islands and canals located just across the bridge, thanks to its wide range of affordable accommodation, fewer crowds, and great value shops, bars, restaurants and cafés. Many of these are located on and around the Piazza Ferretto, Mestre’s charming main square, which is overlooked by an old clock tower and fringed with arcades. Thanks to the excellent public transport connections, you can be swanning down the Grand Canal, right in the centre of gorgeous Venice, in under 20 minutes.

Beaches
The nearest beaches to Mestre and Venice are located along the Lido di Venezia (Venice Lido), a 7-mile long island in the Venetian lagoon. A virtually unbroken string of wide, sandy beaches unfurls along the Adriatic side of the island, lined, in typical Italian style, with private lidos featuring rows and rows of sun loungers and parasols. You can choose whether to bag a sun bed and sunbathe in comfort at a lido, or lay your towel on one of the free areas of the beach. Most of the crowds are congregated at the beaches around the Gran Viale Santa Maria Elisabetta – the island’s main artery – but you’ll find there are fewer crowds if you head to the furthest ends of the beach.
