Venezia Santa Lucia (Italian: Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia) is the central station of Venice, northeast of Italy. It is a terminus and located at the northern edge of Venice's historic city (Italian: Centro storico). The station is one of Venice's two most important railway stations; the other one is Venezia Mestre, a mainline junction station on Venice's mainland district of Mestre. Both Santa-Lucia and Mestre stations are managed by Grandi Stazioni and they are connected to each other by Ponte della Libertà (English: Liberty Bridge).
Venezia Santa Lucia is located in Cannaregio district, the northernmost of the six historic sestieri (districts) of Venice's historic city. It is situated on the northernmost island and near the western end of the Grand Canal. The station lies at the 267 kilometres (166 mi) mark of the Milan–Venice railway.
A bridge over the Grand Canal, the Ponte degli Scalzi (or Ponte dei Scalzi) (English: Bridge of the Discalced), links the concourse in front of the station with the sestiere of Santa Croce.
Venice's historic city had access only by river boats or railway until 2008. Since then, a terminal has been built for road transport with car parks and bus stations. Santa Lucia station concourse (not the Rail Station, but the Cruise Ship Port - by monorail to Pzza Roma) has also been connected to Piazzale Roma by light rail over Ponte della Costituzione (English: Constitution Bridge).
