Peak season vs low season
- Peak season (April - September): Venice comes alive with vibrant energy, pleasant weather, and numerous events. Note that the weather is hotter during this period, and there is surge pricing on stay, travel, etc. owing to holiday bookings.
- Off-peak season (November - February): 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 a more intimate Venetian experience, especially if you don't mind colder temperatures.
