Stamps
This isn't a true post office as I think it only sells stamps.
Post Office in Campo San Polo
This post office is known as 'Venezia 3' on the post office website.
Cannaregio Post Office (near Station)
This is a small post office hidden down a side street but handy for sending postcards or parcels. Known as 'Venezia 1' on the post office website.
Main Post Office
The main post office is below Piazzale Roma in front of the vaporetto stops. Note that you need to take a ticket on entering the building and then wait for your number to be shown.
You can buy stamps from post offices or tobacconists. The cost for a postcard stamp (francobollo) is 1 Euro for Europe, 2 Euros 20 cents to the US, 2 Euros 90 cents to Australia (correct July 2017). Full details of prices and weight limits and the relevant zones.
Be careful when buying stamps in a tobacconist in Venice
Some tobacconists in Venice do not sell stamps, they sell stickers for a private postal service - Friendpost. They are slightly more expensive than normal stamps (1 Euro 30 instead of 1 Euro for sending a postcard in Europe), they take much longer than normal post, and they can ONLY be posted in the post box in the shop. If you put them in a post box they will be thrown away!
