Top 10 Free Things to do in Mestre, Veneto

July 23, 2021 Marlin Saiz

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.

Piazza Ferretto

Reviewed By deons810 - Hillcrest, South Africa

We had decided to stay in the Mestre district instead of frenetic Venice. What a great decision as Trip Advisor had recommended Piazza Ferretto. What a great decision to visit there. We spent the afternoon taking in the sights and views of the historical buildings and then stayed for supper - a traditional Italian dish of lasagne served in the Piazza with live music nearby.

Torre dell'Orologio

Reviewed By 113christinec - Maitland, Australia

The square is huge & spectacular, with amazing Christmas lights still on display when we visited in Jan. the clock tower has a little museum under the portico which is worth a look. Make sure to go in both daytime & nighttime.
