There isn't a true low season in Venice. Not really. The Serenissima is so unique (and so famous) that many people want to see it with their own eyes, no matter what the season. Every time of the year has its pros and cons, and as there are different activities and events to enjoy up and down the canals of Venice all year, there really isn't a bad time to visit.
From festivals like Carnevale to the quieter winter months, we pick through the when is best for you to visit the storied city of Venice.
This is when Venice is at its best, with nice weather and daylight lasting long past 8pm. The closer to summer it gets, the more tourist numbers and prices rise but the best free things to do in Venice can help you keep within your budget. At the height of summer, the weather crosses the threshold from nice to stiflingly hot – something to be aware of if you’re planning to explore the city on foot.
The volume of visitors first arrives in Venice for Carnevale (held on Shrove Tuesday) in spring. Then in May, as summer approaches, the city is abuzz. Events begin to pop up and crowds gather – the chief among all being the Venice Biennale, which has been celebrating visual arts here since 1895.
June is the start of high season and tourists pour in, especially once schools officially close down for summer break around the middle of the month. If the main tourist spots get too much, you can always seek out one of Venice's less-trafficked neighborhoods.
Even though the weather will begin to feel stifling in July, Venice is still bustling. If the crowds really get too much, consider a day trip outside the city. A good way to deal with the sun beating down on your head is to make the most of it while lying down at one of the many beaches of the Lagoon, both in and around Venice. Also be sure to get yourself a good spot for the Festa del Redentore (third Sunday of July) fireworks display.
September is one of the best months of the year – the heat dwindles, but the weather is still great, and it makes for an excellent time to enjoy the last moments of the warm season. Come October when fall has arrived, there are some good days, but it’s also when the possibility of acqua alta looms on the horizon. Pack waterproof boots just in case.
If you thought the city emptied out after the revelries of the Carnevale, think again. With days getting longer and the weather getting warmer, visitors are out and about on the bridges and canals of Venice again. The spring months are the best choice if you want to do plenty of exploring without the sun beating down on your head (and you don’t mind getting caught in the occasional rain shower).
April is the true start of the spring season. Centuries-old celebrations like St

11 Best Men's Pajamas for Comfort, Breathability, & Softness
As hard as it can be to admit, especially in the slaphappy state that often accompanies travel to fresh destinations, we all have to sleep eventually. The sting of leaving the dance floor (or taking a melatonin at 9 p.m. so that you’re rested enough for your 8 a.m. breakfast meeting), will be a lot easier to bear if you know you packed a sumptuous pair of pajamas among your usual clothes and toiletries.
