But the Floating City dazzles year-round, and visiting in the off-season means you'll not only avoid the majority of the crowds, but also help to mitigate the effects of overtourism that have been plaguing Venice for years. Crowd numbers and sweltering summer temps start to drop come October, but the true off-season runs from about November to May. Winter in Northern Italy brings cooler temps, ranging from about 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. During this time, major attractions like St. Mark's Square and its exquisite Basilica, the Doge's Palace, and a gondola ride on the iconic canals will be less crowded. And so will local shops and restaurants, offering a chance to fall in step with the local day-to-day rhythm.
