The train station may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the famous Italian city of Venice. In fact, in a city where canals take the place of streets, you might be surprised to learn that Venice even has a train station.
But indeed it does. Santa Lucia Train Station lies at the end of the line connecting the Venetian lagoon to the mainland, and it's as far as you can go into the city without walking or getting in a boat. Therefore, Santa Lucia station welcomes millions of visitors every year from across Italy and around the world.
This is a busy place, and the narrow alleys and bridges of Venice are no place for heavy bags. That's why Bounce makes it easier than ever to find a luggage storage service. You can choose from dozens of locations in the city including our main location at Cannaregio, 158. Download our app, book luggage storage near Venezia Santa Lucia, and start exploring this hauntingly beautiful city from the moment you step out of the station.

How luggage storage is different from train station lockers
- Flexible storage sizes: Whether you have a huge suitcase, golf clubs, or beach gear, our luggage storage service can accommodate. With storage lockers, you're stuck with the size of whatever storage unit is available, which may not work out well.
- Improved security: Alongside Bounce Shield Protection, we use QR codes for security. The attendant scans your confirmation QR code at drop-off and this same code is scanned at pick-up. Only you have bag access.
- Staffed locations: Unlike typical storage lockers at train stations or local hotels, our locations have a friendly face waiting for you and they are generally open from 9 AM to 8 PM. If you need longer opening hours, some locations go as far as being open 24 hours. Just do your research in the app.
