What is the best month to go to Venice?

The best time to visit Venice is during the spring, in April and May, and fall, in September and October. The shoulder seasons allow travelers to enjoy the pleasant weather, without it being too hot for sightseeing or too cold. The crowds are also fewer, offering a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Some travelers enjoy going in the winter, for the best off-peak prices and availability, however, as tourism slows, so does the city.

Learn more about the best time to visit Italy.
How can I travel around Venice?

There are no cars allowed within the city of Venice, however, the city’s intricate network of canals makes water taxis, vaporettos (public water buses), and gondolas ideal modes of transportation, quickly taking you to your destinations through a scenic route.

Walking is the other main way of getting around the city, with hidden gems waiting around every corner.
How many days do you need in Venice?

We recommend spending 3 nights in Venice and then pairing this destination with either the Italian Lakes or a tour of Italy's main cities for your luxury Venice tour.

3 nights is ample time to explore the main sites, indulge in the local cuisine, and get lost in the city's beauty before moving on to another of Italy’s mesmerizing destinations.
