Average visitors by month to Venice?

Posted by tecsi on 09/04/19 08:25 PM

I asked this question before, but the Forum website never notified me of responses. So asking again.

Basically, I want to find out how early in the fall the Venice crowds really diminish. Not sure if this is early October, late October, early November, late November?

And also, how late in spring the crowds are still small: late March, early April, late April, early May?

Ideally, I like an estimate of people in Venice by day of the day of the year. But answers to the queries above will solve my issue.

Thanks.

Sorry, but why would you think that members of this forum would know how many visitors there are for all 365 days of the year? I would respectfully suggest that Google may give you a better answer.

I was there in January and the crowds were absent. A week later was Carnivale when it would have been packed.

Not sure why you just didn't Google Venice visitor statistics. This was the first item that popped up : https://europeforvisitors.com/venice/articles/venice-in-winter.htm

Numbers are 4 years old. I imagine crowds are bigger every year.

The OP had excellent responses to the first question (1/2//2019) with good information. That should have answered his question to the best of this site's ability. I am not sure why the question is being asked again nine months later.

Our favourite month to travel anywhere in Europe is October. Less crowds & nice weather. I'd avoid Venice in November as it can rain a lot and you could be walking in angle deep water in Plazza San Marco.
