For anyone planning to visit Venice! The city will experiment with an Venice entrance fee, and you should pay attention to this.

If you visit Venice for a day without an overnight stay, you can contribute €5. This test is to see if it can dampen the crowds without affecting overnight stayers – thoughtful, right?

If you spend the night in the city, you have already paid the tourist tax, so there are no double costs.

Is visiting Venice Italy, on your bucket list? Read my visit to Venice Italy page, the feeling you get when you enjoy the city and visit Venice.

Every time you come back to Venice, you enjoy every corner of the city. The rich history. You feel it in everything. Roaming the streets, away from the packed route of the Rialto Bridge to San Marco square.

I visited Venice in every season. Despite the tourists, there is always a place of unparalleled romance and culture. The history, the colors and the splashing of the water. Venice is always very attractive to go. There is no bad time to visit Venice. Each season has its attractions and charm. 

In the summer you can enjoy the warm summer evenings; For example, in a gondola through the romantic canals. The busiest months are from May until September. Venice tourism is on its peak! If you want to avoid the crowds but still want to have good weather, then I recommend to visit Venice in April. If you want to escape the city when the hot temperature rises I recommend to take this escape route.

Autumn is has it's foggy weathers; Winter has its cold with in the background the snow on top of the Alps; The mild spring has beautiful sunsets and the summer is stifling heat.
