Which Venice station should you book, and how do you buy tickets?
You want to book your train to Venezia Santa Lucia, the station on the island itself, rather than Mestre which is on the mainland. Venice train tickets from Trenitalia and Italo are cheapest booked early, so compare both operators' times and fares before you commit.
