11/18 Venice Biennale, Lake Como, Cinque Terre and ending in Milan 11/28.

Looking forward to exploring Northern Italy. We want to spend 3 days in Venice, and then explore the possibilities or Northern Italy via train. Any advice about travel as this time of year? Itineraries?

Hi Auggie. One thing to start would be to go to weatherbase.com and check average temps, # of days of rain, etc. for some of your possible cities (Milan, Verona, Venice, Lugano, Bolzano, Florence) and see what weather you are OK with. e.g. Lugano avg high 52; Verona 51. Some people like cooler weather, others don't. Enjoy your trip!

The cruise ships have changed Venice...crazy busy, so plan to go to San Marco, Rialto, etc. early morning or late afternoon/evening.
