Venice Travel Guide

Venice is best described as "half fairy tale and half tourist trap." It can be the romantic city with quiet streets and canals, but it can also be overcrowded and overpriced. Avoid the tourist trap by taking advantage of the insider's advice online. read more

With its unique location, below sea level and crisscrossed by a network of canals, Venice attracts visitors from all over the world throughout the year. The most popular time to visit is during summer, when schools are on vacation, the weather is hot, and festivals abound. Fewer people come to the city during the winter months. However, despite the cold, February is a popular time among Carnival-goers who fill the city with music and laughter. Spring and fall are ideal times to visit when there are fewer visitors and pleasant weather. read more

Venice isn't known for its affordability, but visitors can save by acting like locals. Plus, the off-peak season brings cheaper prices. read more
