We are planning a September trip. Plan is to fly in to Venice and out of Rome. Question is: Do we book lodging in Venice now to get a property we might like or wait until airfare is booked. We would already know the dates we want to fly. We will want to keep waiting and watching the fares.

Hi Diana. I would book your hotel reservations now, especially if there's a property that you are particularly interested in. Just know the cancellation policy in case you need to make changes. Some places may require a non-refundable deposit which you might not get back if you need to change places or cancel. We stayed in B&B's & apartments which did require deposits. Have a great trip.
