Best Time to Visit Venice

Peak Season (June–August): Sunny, vibrant, and full of events—but crowded and pricey. Great for summer festivals and long days.

Shoulder Season (April–May, September–October): Ideal for weather and manageable crowds. Perfect for sightseeing and photography.

Low Season (November–March): Quiet, chilly, and moody. Carnival in February adds color and energy to the winter months.
