Venice is a city that almost any seasoned traveler can identify, even if they haven’t been there. It’s among the world’s most iconic, lined by canals and traversable by foot, tram, and gondola in a manner that has inspired urban planners the world over. Venice can be quite confusing to identify the right place to stay, so we’ve pulled together a list of the best Airbnbs in Venice in all parts of the city. The best time to visit Venice, Italy, is in the springtime from March to May. During this period, temperatures are warm but not too hot and rain rarely affects your plans. The city is also in its most vibrant state as the number of tourists has decreased slightly and the water levels are lower than usual before the summer months. Additionally, you can enjoy discounted rates on hotel stays and take advantage of events such as Carnival and the Venice Film Festival during these months.
