When Should You Visit Venice

When to visit Venice depends on your priorities. For pleasant weather and moderate crowds, spring or fall are ideal.

Winter offers the most affordable vacation with the fewest tourists, a magical experience with festive decorations and the possibility of snow, but some attractions might be closed and the weather colder.
