Each season writes a different chapter.

Spring

  • Variable rains, bright light; moderate crowds.

Summer

  • Heat, late sunsets; go early/late.

Autumn

  • Golden light, occasional acqua alta; atmospheric.

Winter

  • Low sun, quiet mornings; dress warmly.

Bottom Line: April–May and Oct–Nov are sweet spots for light vs crowds.
