Getting to the Venue

• Train: The most convenient way is to take a train from Venezia Santa Lucia station to Noale-Scorzé station. The journey usually takes around 30-40 minutes, with regular services throughout the day. Check the Trenitalia website or app for up-to-date schedules and ticket prices.
• Bus: Alternatively, you can take a bus. ACTV operates buses that connect Venice to Noale, but the journey might take a bit longer than the train. Details on schedules and routes can be found on the ACTV website.
• Car: If you prefer driving, the distance is about 30 kilometers (approximately 18 miles), and it takes roughly 40 minutes by car depending on traffic. You’ll take the A57 highway and then follow signs to Noale.

Gay Venice

• With its labyrinth of canals, historic allure, and romantic ambience, Venice offers a unique backdrop for gay travellers.
• The city doesn’t have a distinct “gayborhood” like some other cities. Instead, its LGBTQ+-friendly venues are sprinkled throughout.
• However, the Dorsoduro district, with its artful vibe and vibrant nightlife, tends to attract a diverse, open-minded crowd.
• Vaporetto Pass: Save on transport by getting a Vaporetto pass. This water bus is the primary mode of public transport, and it’s an experience in itself.
• For a unique Stay, try the Hotel Nani Mocenigo Palace featuring authentic Venetian rooms with stunning rooms fit for a king or queen! 

Popular Gay Attractions
