When is the Best Time To Visit Venice Italy?

I am often asked this and having lived in Italy for ten years I have the answer to this question...

Venice is the most wonderful city in the world but its weather is definitely not. If you visit Venice at the 'wrong' time you are sure to have a miserable experience. Unfortunately a large number of people - in fact most of them do just that.

So when not to go then?

Visiting Venice in July or August (when most people visit) is not really a good idea. The weather is really hot and very humid - occasionally reaching around 34 C / 90 F. Combine that with the masses of people that throng to Venice during these months and you will likely hate the city after a day of sweaty, stinking sightseeing.

Winters are often bitterly cold and on misty winter days the damp really seems to soak into your bones. The good thing though about the winter weather in Venice is that it keeps a lot of tourists away. The narrow alleys and canals are hauntingly beautiful in a winter's mist and Christmas in Venice is really magical.

If you are coming to Venice in winter avoid November like the plaque. November is the month of the year when it rains the most and it is also the month when the high water or alta aqua occurs most frequently. Getting your feet wet on a freezing day can be a highly miserable way to experience the city.

So when is the best time to visit Venice?

Venice weather is best in May, June and September and these are the best months to visit. The weather in Venice during this time is very pleasant and the crowds are reasonably small.
