When to go to Venice

Venice is beautiful during any season and definitely has its pros and cons, it all depends on what you come to the city for. We experienced a very mild, very sunny winter and this has to be my personal favourite season in Venice. Fewer tourists and no crowds, sunny weather and always a seat in our favourite restaurants and bars. You could sit outside when it was warm as all restaurants had their chairs and tables out. The lines to get in the sights were much shorter and it was okay to just stand and watch without someone running into you. But also autumn and spring were really nice times to go, just with more people around. If you do travel to Venice in the summer, it is beautiful too but please do pick a hotel with a swimming pool because this will make all the difference and will really brighten up your Venice experience. That way it feels even more like a holiday, not only a city trip, so in summer pick a hotel with a swimming pool.
