We\u2019re so used to seeing photos of Venice that we sometimes forget the madness<\/em> this city really is. Here, the streets are canals, the cars are boats, and behind every bridge there are centuries of history, hidden passages, and beauty that seems out of this world\u2026 along with a ridiculous number of tourists.
Venice is often associated with luxury and high prices, but in this article I\u2019ll show you how to travel to Venice on a budget without sacrificing your savings or the experience.<\/p>

When to travel to Venice?<\/h2>

It depends on two things: the weather and the events<\/strong>.<\/p>

Clearly defined seasons:<\/strong> winters are cold and summers are very hot. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit. Between late autumn and winter, the Acqua Alta<\/em> appears \u2014 the famous high waters that leave several centimetres on the streets. It\u2019s not dangerous, but it\u2019s peculiar (you\u2019ve probably seen photos of tourists in plastic boots).<\/p>

Events:<\/strong> they affect prices and crowds. The Venice Carnival<\/em> takes place in February: magical, yes, but expensive and packed. In July, the Festa del Redentore<\/em> is celebrated, which also draws large crowds.<\/p>

How many days do you need to travel around Venice?<\/h3>

Ideally, at least 2 full days<\/strong> are needed to walk at a relaxed pace, get lost among the bridges, and visit the essential spots. Of course, it all depends on where you arrive, where you stay (I\u2019ll explain below why this makes a big difference), and what you want to include in your itinerary.<\/p>

If you plan to visit Murano and Burano, keep in mind that the vaporetto ride takes time and turns the outing into a half-day trip or even longer.<\/p>

How to get to Venice?<\/h2>

Fly to Venice<\/h3>

From Europe, it\u2019s quite easy to find cheap flights. To compare prices quickly, SkyScanner<\/strong> is ideal because it lets you filter by country, date, and airport.<\/p>

Marco Polo (VCE)<\/strong> is the main airport and is just 8 km from Venice.<\/p>

How to get to the city centre?<\/strong> Bus 5 or ATVO for 10 EUR per trip, or the Alilaguna boat, which drops you very close to Piazza San Marco and costs 15 EUR.<\/p>

How to get to the city centre?<\/strong> It\u2019s easy and convenient, costing just 12 EUR on the ATVO bus<\/a>.<\/p>

Get by train to Venice<\/h3>

Venice is very well connected by train to the main cities in Italy. To quickly compare prices and schedules, Omio<\/a><\/strong> works perfectly.<\/p>

Trains are usually more expensive than buses, but both Trenitalia<\/strong> and Trenord<\/strong> have very useful promotions:<\/p>
