Venice Travel Guide - Travel to Venice, Italy
Travel to Venice, Italy - Why visit Venice? Venice is one of the most interesting and lovely places in the world. Venice is water and bridges and romance: It’s the Doge’s Palace, Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal and gondolas. Venice is also the modern zing of the Venice Film Festival, the excitement of Carnival and the thrill of seeing priceless art treasures. This many-islanded city is quiet (no cars), foggy (ocean air) and at risk (rising seas).
When to visit Venice? Venice is always in celebrating something, although Venice is a particularly busy vacation city in the flourishing months of spring, especially around Easter. Venice hotel lodging are one of the most difficult things to find around peak time, as well as around Christmas, New Year, and festival Carnevale in February. Like Italy ’s other great tourist areas, Venice is not at its worst in summer. Although it’s crowded, there are many other special Venice activities on offer. The most extraordinary time of year to visit is late March into May, with clear spring days and fewer crowds. September is also extraordinary in terms of weather, but October is quieter. Flooding occurs in November and December, and winter can be unpleasantly cold - although seeing Venice under a layer of snow can cast the aura of a fairy tale.
