What’s the cheapest month to fly to Venice?

When’s the best time to visit Venice?
Spring and autumn are excellent seasons to visit Venice. Temperatures are cooler and the streets are quieter. The city swelters in the summer months and can experience flooding in the winter during the phenomenon known as “high water”. If, however, you don’t mind the heat or you’re happy to pack your wellies, you’ll still have a great time exploring the neighbourhoods and canals during these times.
Is Venice cheap to visit?
Lots of the city’s attractions are free to visit, including the much-photographed St Mark’s Square with its gilded basilica, which doesn’t charge for entry. Just make sure to head over early in the day as there’s usually a long wait to get in. Helpfully, Venice’s winding alleyways are easy to explore on foot, or you can book on to a free walking tour to pick up a few historical facts along the way. Staying hydrated in the heat is cheap too, as there are plenty of water fountains scattered around the city. Take water bottles to fill up throughout the day rather than buying them.
Is it easy to get around Venice?
You can reach Venice by a variety of transport options, but most will involve a boat, whether that’s a water taxi or a public ferry. You can take a water taxi all the way from Venice’s Marco Polo Airport to your hotel or hop on a bus to get closer to the city – most forms of transport will drop you at Piazzale Roma. From here you can continue your journey via the water, or by walking.
