Summer in Venice
Message: For those of you who have been to Venice during the months of June, July and August, please tell me about your experiences with the tremendous amounts of tourists. We were there in the month of April and enjoyed whatever crowds there were. If we visit during the summer, what can we expect? Also, we stayed near San Marco and wondered which area would be a good choice next time? Any suggestions? Thanks!

We stayed at the Hotel Galleria in Dosodoro (sp?) and liked it very much. Had a very small room BUT with a view of the Grand Canal and the Accademia bridge. An excellent way to spend a first time in Venice.
We paid $125 but were there in off season so it's probably more like $200 in the high time.

I've been to Venice in mid-June, and one other time, June 30-July 2. Neither time did the crowds ruin the magic of Venice. I've seen them quite similar in September.
Of course, I am a strong believer that the two best hours of the day in Venice are the first hour after you awaken (don't even go to breakfast or shower - - sunrise is the best) - - and the last hour before you go to bed.
Not "available" to day-trippers.
Best wishes,

I have been to Venice twice, both times in August. I had only wonderful experiences. It was very hot and sure there were lots of people, but not that ruined it for me. I also like the Dosoduro (and am not sure of the spelling either). I stayed at Penione La Calcina.
