In addition to Google, also Bing (a Microsoft service) has advanced maps available of Mestre.

Bing Maps provides many great features, such as ‘bird’s view’ maps of Mestre, where the maps have been constructed from photographs taken from an airplane that flew over the region.

These ‘bird’s eye’ maps are not embeddable, so you have to go to the Bing Maps website (bing.com/maps/) to see that type of map.

Standard Bing maps are, on the other hand, embeddable, and below is a standard street map view from Bing.

Another great free map application online is OpenStreetMap, which is a ‘Wikipedia‘ type map application updated and made more accurate by a community of active users.

You can use the data from OpenStreetMap for your own applications, if you want to, say, develop a map app for the Venice tourism industry.

Below is a OpenStreetMap version of Mestre Venice Italy map.

Apart from these online maps, you can get a free maps from the Venice Tourism Information points, available throughout the city.

For example, if you come to the city via a cruiseliner, you can get a free map from the information points at the arrivals hall at the main Port Marittima terminal.


Most of the available maps are about the historic center of Venice, but from the many brochures that are available from these information points, you should also find maps of Mestre.
