Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- FTMDaveAdria, Italy7,734 contributionsI took the train from Mestre to Treviso.
Everything was easy. There is a large ticket office as well as self-service machines in various languages.
Departure boards are all over showing the next departures.
Signs are in Italian and in English.
As always in Italy, scattered around the station there are huge paper displays showing all the departures from the station in chronological order.

20 minute stroll to the Mestre railway stationWritten 31 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Fantastic fresh food counters including fish / seafood, cheese, salads, cooked and raw meat products. A fantastic selection of wines, beers and spirits. All very good prices
Remember to weigh your fresh produce before going to the checkout though!!Written 24 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A group of dedicated locals have restored and continuing to restore this once important fort around Venice. They have a done a good job of clearing the site and making it a place you can actually visit.
A good guide is available but I think it is only open at the weekend.Written 23 March 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is not certain whether he was burned with a grill set on fire. Anyway many miracles have been attributed to him.
The neoclassical style facade of the duomo dating from the 1790s is impressive, though I found the masonry where it is visible without plaster as astounding. Imagine the patience and craftmanship of hundreds of workers who put the building together.
The interior is light and adorned with fine sculptures. I attended mass here, but my Italian was just not good enough to understand the sermon.Written 4 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A must for lovers of architecture, the steel and glass construction still looks like it is holding out. The gallery, filled with upmarket shops forms a pleasant link between the piazza Ferretto and the more modern part of town. Very nice to walk through, even if you are not interested in shopping.Written 6 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert ORotterdam, The Netherlands6,233 contributionsThis is a small (re)forested area between canals just northwest of the Parco San Giuliano in Mestre. It is part of an effort to create more green spaces in the densely populated urban Mestre area. The circumference of Bosco dell 'Orsellino is just 1.5 km.
Good for a walk or to run or cycle. There are some info boards describing plant and animal life. To get there on foot from the center of Mestre is not easy. Make sure to find the overpass for pedestrians to cross the busy highway Via Amerigo Vespucci. I used google maps to find my way.Written 5 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheShisTel Aviv, Israel43,258 contributionsThis is an ordinary church with an unnecessary entry fee of 3 Euros, which is an exuberant sum for such a small and unimpressive church.Written 6 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
