- Climate: If I talk about the weather it is extreme. It is very hot in summer. and if there is a huge crowd then the place heats up even more. It is quite rainy and cold in the winter season. It also follows the same seasonal cycle as in ISA when there is summer in the USA it is the same in Italy and when winter starts it goes the same way.
- Peak Season: You can visit Venice in the month of June-August because it is the peak season. During these months the rush is very high so you will find crowds at most places and the prices get VERY expensive. Not only this can even find accommodations to be very expensive.
