When is the best time to go to Venice, considering prices but also being there during a beautiful time?

Question

What time of year? Summer, winter? Ect.

Answer 1

Spring

Answer 2

i went in summer n it was PACKED

Answer 3

Definitely don't go in the summer if you can help it. The canals tend to smell badly in the summer and of course it is hot and very crowded. I go in the spring and fall and find it wonderful. There are always crowds but much less than in summer. Also a word about Hotels, obviously very expensive in Venice, but in Treviso or Padua just 30 min. by train you can get very good prices. Treviso is very nice with canals also, makes a good place to stay and not so crowded. I am headed to Treviso in May and will stay at the Dolce Vita Hotel. The source listed below is invaluable!

Answer 4

the best is may it's warm and costs less

Answer 5

Best time is early May or end of October. November all the way to Thanksgiving is nice (but can be cold) too.
