About Travel to Venice
Venice is reached by Marco Polo or Treviso airport, or by train from Milan, Florence, or Rome. There are no cars—get around on foot, by vaporetto (water bus), or by gondola for a treat. Spring and autumn offer mild weather and fewer crowds; summer can be hot and very busy. Book St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and popular restaurants ahead. Allow time to get lost in the back streets of Cannaregio and Dorsoduro, and consider day trips to Murano and Burano. Pack comfortable shoes and be prepared for occasional acqua alta in autumn and winter.
