    Peak Season vs. Low Season

    Peak Season (April - September)

    Low Season (November - February)

    Venice comes alive with vibrant energy, pleasant weather, and numerous events. Plan your visit in early April or September to avoid the tourist rush and enjoy a delightful experience with thinner crowds.

    During off-season the "floating" city takes on a serene charm, perfect for romantic getaways. With misty beauty and better deals on accommodations and attractions like Doge's Palace, the off-season offers an intimate Venetian experience, especially if you don't mind colder temperatures.
