Venice

Wander the lanes and explore the churches of Venice without the crowds when you visit during the colder months.

As one of the primary gateways to the Alps, many pass through Venice on their way to the mountains, but few stop to appreciate the majestic beauty of the city during the colder months. We think winter is one of the best times to visit Venice, as the Venetians reclaim their lanes and canals from tourists. You have the chance to get to know the city on a more intimate level; exploring the cavernous churches and diving into cosy cafes.

The weather can get chilly as the winds whip down from the Dolomites, so don’t pack your ski jackets too deep, however, the blue skies and low season prices more than make up for the temperature. Don’t miss St Mark’s Basilica, the city’s most famous church and arguably the most beautiful building in all of Venice. Inside the shimmering gold mosaics that line the ceilings usually play host to noisy crowds underneath, but during the winter months, the Cathedral is a peaceful sanctuary for you to explore. Come early enough and you may have the mosaics to yourself.
