Stealth Camping: From the main train station in Mestre, there is a perfectly nice stealth camping spot only 2 minutes walking. Exit the station through the underground corridor, heading AWAY from the city center (it's obvious what is the 'front' of the station and what is the 'back'.) Go out the back and once you ascend to street level, immediately look to your right and you'll see an old fence. Get behind the fence, walk along the tracks about 50m, and you'll come to a couple of open lots with trees and bushes. Plenty of relatively discreet places to lay your sleeping bag.
As I lived there 2 yrs, Mestre is not the best option for free camping specially near the railway station, like all railway stations in italy, pretty ones of the worst spot to spend the night (e.g. Milano Centrale or Roma Termini). If u go in the historical centre, at night is almost dishabited, no tourists around (very charming as well) and specially in less touristic quarters(sestiere) like "Castello" or "Cannaregio". just crash on one of the hundreds bench u see or even some green areas u may find, churches stairs might be also an option. Of course u ll be wake up by someone but its so much more safe than mestre station. Lots of backpacker and homeless also do sleep right outside of SantaLucia station.
If u go at evening time 5-6p.m till 23p.m in Campo S.Margherita (check on maps) one of the largest square, is full of university and young people. If u are nice and smart u can easily find some cool people host u. [[User:Fedecicco|Fedecicco]]
