Holidays To Mestre

Have you ever had pasta in a piazza? In Mestre, Italy, you can—and you will, as you spend your evenings people-watching, drinking coffee and enjoying the relative quiet in this charming part of mainland Venice.

Mestre's historic sites and modern flair make it the perfect place who like green space, architecture and heaps of Italian food.

Things to Do in Mestre

For a quick dose of that modern flair, visit the Chiesa dei Santi Francesco e Chiara d'Assisi. This church has unique architecture and nature-themed stained glass. You may not see the saints in these windows, but you will see interpretive images of the sky in bold colours! It's an interesting take on old European religious architecture, and a must-see if you’ve purchased one of our Mestre holiday packages.

The church is within walking distance from the train station and the city is pedestrian-friendly, but one of Wotif's great Mestre car hire deals gives you the option to drive on the road bridge to Venice's historic city centre. Before heading out, visit the Orto Botanico Locatelli in Mestre, a small botanical garden open from May to October. The city has two other year-round parks: Parco San Guilliano, the site of summer concerts, and Parco Bissuola, a large patch of green space with tennis courts and a swimming pool.

After viewing the modern Chiesa, stop by the 17th-century cathedral, the Duomo di San Lorenzo, an unassuming white structure with statues carved into its exterior walls. Take a trip to the watchtower, which dates back to 1108 and overlooks Piazza Ferretto, where locals come to eat, drink and fill their shopping bags. This is your spot for pizza, pasta, wine and retail therapy. Feel free to indulge, since you've saved a ton of money with our Mestre deals!

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

In the Piazza Ferretto, shop in designer boutiques and enjoy the old architecture. The bustling activity and atmosphere of this plaza will remind you that you're in Europe! Spend your travel money here or in nearby Le Barche, a modern shopping mall that's only a few hundred metres away. Mestre holidays should include a visit to one of the many weekday outdoor markets, where you can stock up on clothing, art, fruit and vegetables.

If fresh fruit isn't enough to sustain you—and it probably isn't—have a true Italian meal at Piazza Ferretto. The area has pizzerias, bars and restaurants for an indulgent dining experience. Several family-owned establishments sell cakes and sweet treats. The mignon—no, not the fishy kind—is a popular miniature dessert. Sample Mediterranean seafood and top off your evening with coffee, gelato and a brisk walk around the neighbourhood. Mestre evenings go late, and food and drink are always nearby.

For late night wine bars, stay near the piazza and its adjacent streets. There are live music pubs in the piazza open until the wee hours. You can also find live jazz music in nearby Marghera, about 4 km away—a true late night experience to add to Mestre packages. Tempt your taste buds with aperol, an orange-flavoured liquor.
