Is 3-days enough time for Venice?
I will be in Venice for 3-days in October, and I wonder if that is enough. There is a possibilities that I could extend the number of days. I may not be back in Venice in the near future as my travel list is long, so should I plan to spend more days? If so, how many days.

I think it would depend if you want to see most of the MUSEUMS,..(some do some don't)...OR just walk the streets, take vaporettos etc. and absorb the flavor of the city!
You could certainly do a combination of the above in three days...(but of course if you really LOVE it and think you may not be back , then you'll probably wish you would have taken a 4th day)
We spent 1 day and got a great overview ....no museums~~~ but we saw a lot and talk of returning "sometime"...maybe some January when it is a little quieter.

Hi Susan, per your last post..I personally would stay in Venice as long as possible. The longer you stay there the more you will appreciate Venice, especially the areas away from the "tourist section". Enjoy!

Susan,
I spent Christmas in Venice and was there for 4-5 days. By the time we were finish I was ready to go. Don't get me wrong I loved Venice but I travel with a child so that much walking can be exhausting. Venice is also very expensive so save some money to shop and a start a seperate account for food. Remember to soak it all up and take lots of pictures.

Hi
I would say three days is enough but Venice lovers will probably protest My wife and I went there a few years back and here is a trip report http://gardkarlsen.com/italy_venice.htm . Maybe you can find some useful info there.

We stayed 3 days in Venice about a year ago, and it was just enough time to get a nice feel for the city. If we could have stayed a day or two longer, it would have been nicer.
I think 3-5 days is fine.

If you are an art lover, you probably know that the 52nd International Arts Festival: Venice Biennale (this happens every other year) runs through November.... I have never been to this festival, but would love to go. That said... 3 full days would not be enough, 4 days would be better.
I have spent my "short" trips of up to 5 full days there walking and eating, riding the vaporettos, and going into lots and lots of churches! Every single "area" is a treat, and can fill an afternoon with a visit to a museum, a church, walking and eating, a bit of shopping. Take in an evening concert, and try not to miss the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, art lover or not. I have never taken the time to go to Milano. And Venice has never ever disappointed, rain or shine, crowds or not, 2 days or 5....
You'll have a great time whatever you do. Venice is truly unique!
