I think I might actually prefer Venice in winter…

I’d been to Venice before, but visiting in winter felt completely different.
Yes, it was cold. Yes, we had fog. And yes, the days were much shorter.
But wandering through Venice without the intense summer heat and with noticeably fewer people around made such a difference.
We could actually slow down, wander the little streets and canals, stop for cicchetti and an Aperol Spritz, and enjoy places like St Mark’s Square without feeling completely overwhelmed by crowds.
And weirdly, the fog ended up being one of my favourite parts.
Seeing the gondolas and buildings slowly disappear into it made Venice feel even more atmospheric.
Would I choose winter if I wanted guaranteed blue skies and warm weather? Probably not.
But would I visit Venice in winter again?
Absolutely!
