Now that you’ve found a place as good as home, plan your vacation at a time when you can get the most out of what Venice has to offer (that is if you’re quite sure your boss won’t let you take a year off)
Here’s a run down of the best times to visit Venice:
February: in Venice is exciting indeed.. 10 days of the world’s most famous carnival! A simple black sheath and white mask in enough to make you one of the revelers. Of course if you have deeper pockets, you could deck yourself out in elaborate costumes and be part of the many balls and gala dinners.
May: The Vogalonga is not only a boat marathon but one of the strongest and longest standing statements to Venetian authorities. Every year a 30 km non-competitive rowing event is organized to revive the rowing tradition and protest the motorboat traffic harming the foundations of the city.
March – June: Mostly event free months and also free of the usual gaggle of tourists that Venice caters to the rest of the year.
September – August: If you’re film buff, September could help you mix up a potent cocktail – all the inherent drama and romance the city has to offer and The Venice International Film Festival.
Though July and August are usually considered months to avoid because of the high level of tourist inflow, the Festa del Redentore takes place in July and has the famous night of fireworks on the water. It’s like a play in the sky with its own language of color and starbursts.
