While Venice’s mainland suburb of Mestre has a history and character all its own dating back to medieval times, it owes its growth and fortune to its more powerful offshore neighbor. Unfortunately, it’s everything Venice is not: modern, industrial and cheap. But while they may not compare to the romantic canals of Venice, Mestre does have attractions of its own, including the Torre (Tower) dell'Orologio and the Duomo (Cathedral) di San Lorenzo, located on its town square, Piazza Ferretto.

We came across this lovely Art Nouveau cinema when we were exploring the historic centre of Mestre. It really is a lovely old building and, I believe, still a working cinema. Unfortunately we did not have the time to enter or see a film, however as films are probably dubbed into Italian it would not make much sense to us as we speak little Italian.

This is a bustling train station with connections to many places throughout Italy and Europe. In addition, they have a bus station right outside that allows you to access buses to many other locations. There are also several rental car locations in the vicinity. It is easy to navigate the boards to know what platform you will need for onward travel. We had a problem while here and the Italo staff both here and in Venice Santa Lucia were absolutely wonderful.
