Now is the time to explore one of the world's most popular tourist destinations without the ridiculous crowds, high prices and oppressive heat of high season. Venice in winter is Venice at its best -- atmospheric, bustling but manageable, authentically local.
There are downsides, to be sure. You'll have to bundle up to do your sightseeing (temperatures typically rise to the mid-40s during the day in January and February, and can drop below 30 at night). Pack your rain boots (at this time of year, there's the threat of occasional flooding, sometimes caused by exceptional winter tide peaks), and plan to dine indoors (romantic outdoor dining is limited to a few tourist cafes with heat lamps).
These were all trade-offs my family and I happily made as we waltzed into popular tourist attractions without waiting in line, booked tables at the city's most exclusive restaurants hours before dinnertime, and lost ourselves in Venice's quiet, sometimes spooky maze of walkways and bridges during a magical week in late December.
